1 Motor

assembly

Follow these instructions to assemble

one motor.

1 Attach motor to arm

Place a motor plate on top of the arm

with the short end of the plate facing

towards the end of the arm. Place the

motor on top of the plate, and align

the two small holes in the motor,

plate, and arm. Orient the motor with

the cables as close as possible to the

hole in the side of the arm.

Apply threadlocker to two 5 mm

bolts, and secure the motor and plate

to the arm from below by accessing

through the two large holes in the

bottom of the arm. When applying

threadlocker, use less than one drop,

and cover only four or five threads

where the bolt connects with the

motor. Make sure to insert the bolts

into the holes in the bottom of the

motor and not into the slots where

they could interfere with the motor.
