| Part | Count |
|---|---|
| Pelvis assembly from Step 2 | 1 |
| EC-A6416-P2-25 (ID 7) | 1 |
| 1 | |
| M4x10 Flat bolts | 8 |

Instructions
Take actuator EC-A6416-P2-25 (ID 7) and lay it flat on a surface such that the actuator shaft is facing upward toward the ceiling.
Take part and align the 8 holes in the inner circumference of it with the 8 holes on the actuator shaft. Make sure that the port cut out on part is 30 degrees to the left from the port at the bottom.
Take 8 – M4x10 Flat bolt, lightly tighten into the 8 inner holes of part to align the part with the actuator.
After the parts are aligned:
- remove each of the 8 – M4x10 flat bolts in a star formation,
- apply threadlocker,
- then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.
Connect one connector of the 200 mm double-ended XT30 (2+2) cable to the actuator port shown above.
Take part and lay them flat on the side, such that the right hip pitch hollow is facing upward toward the ceiling. Part should be pointing towards your left, and the solid part should be facing you, not away from you.
Take 8 – M4 nylon-insert locknuts and put them into the 8 slots around the inner circumference of Part right hip pitch hollow.
Slot the actuator inside the right hip pitch hollow of part . Slowly guide the cable through the cut-out hole on part and . At the end, slightly twist it clockwise so that the cutout on part align with part . Then, align it such that the 8 outer holes of part are aligned with the holes on the surface of Part . If you did it correctly, you should be able to see the actuator port facing outward from the front rectangular cut out.
Take 8 – M4x16 Flat bolt, lightly tighten into the 8 outer holes of part to align the part with part .
After the parts are aligned:
- remove each of the 8 – M4x16 flat bolts in a star formation,
- apply threadlocker,
- then tighten them back to secure Part and part together.

Step 2: Install the Left Hip Pitch Actuator
Attach the left hip pitch actuator to the pelvis housing and route its XT30 cable through the front cutout.
Step 4: Route the Hip Cables and Install the Cover
Connect one connector of each hip pitch cable to its actuator port, route and label both cables, and secure the pelvis cover.
