Flip the current assembly over such that the knee part is facing downward toward the surface and the 2 hollow portions of part are facing upward toward the ceiling.

Step 9: Install Right Ankle A and B Actuators - Instruction 1

Place right ankle A actuator ID 11 and right ankle B actuator ID 12 on a flat surface with their shafts facing downward and ports near the top. Connect one connector of the 100 mm double-ended XT30 cable to the port on ankle A and the other connector to the port on ankle B.

Step 9: Install Right Ankle A and B Actuators - Instruction 2

Take right ankle A actuator EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 11) and align it into the first hollow nearer to the knee on part . The actuator shaft should be facing downward toward the floor. Make sure that the port and cable are aligned with the joint port cut-out between the two hollow portions.

Step 9: Install Right Ankle A and B Actuators - Instruction 3

Take right ankle B actuator EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 12) and align it into the second hollow nearer to the ankle on part . Make sure that the cable and ports of the actuator are on top of the cable from right ankle A actuator EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 11) in the joint port cut out.
