Instructions

Put the pelvis assembly from Step 5 on a flat surface, oriented it such that the left hip pitch actuator is facing upward toward the ceiling. Part face toward your right, and the solid part face toward you.

Take part and align it 6 holes to the 6 holes on the actuator shaft. Oriented it such that the protruding metal stopper part stays in between the larger gap of the 2 metal stoppers on part .

Take 6 of , lightly tighten into the 6 holes of part to align the part with the actuator.

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove 6 of one at a time in a star formation,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.

Take (ID 2) and connect the XT30 (2+2) connector of the 180 mm single-ended XT30 (2+2) cable to the actuator port nearest the hollow shaft, then route the cable through the shaft.

Slide the actuator through part such that the holes on circumference of the actuator are aligned with the holes on the arch of part . The actuator shaft should be facing forward in the same direction as where Part is.

Connect the free connector of the left hip pitch actuator cable to the specified port on left hip roll (ID 2).

Before moving on to the next step, you need to make sure that the actuator is oriented correctly. The LED on the actuator needs to be roughly positioned as shown in the visualization, as it will need to shine through the LED cut-out on the back cover. Please refer to the video below for more details.

Take 6 of and lightly tighten them into the 6 holes of part to align the part with the actuator.

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove 6 of one at a time in a star formation,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure part and the actuator together.

Lay the pelvis assembly flat on a surface such that the Part is facing upward toward the ceiling. Take part and slot the (ID 2) into it such that the actuator shaft goes through the round hole on part .

Take 3 of and tighten into the 3 holes on top of part to secure the part to the actuator.

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove 3 of one at a time,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.

Flip the pelvis assembly upside down such that part is now facing downward. Take part and align it with part such that the three holes on part aligned with threaded insert on part .

Take 3 of and tighten into the 3 holes on part to secure the part to part .
