Please note:
If you have purchased a LulzBot TAZ 5 v2c Tool Head Harness please skip steps 5 thru 7.
Also, the current version of the LulzBot TAZ Single Extruder Tool Head v2 and the harness you purchased, utilize a single 16 position connector housing for the extruder, rather than the multiple connectors described in step 13.
Once the harness and tool head are installed, simply align the key pins of the harness with the empty positions on the extruder's connector housing.
