Ok , now we can move on to the  assembly procedure

Step 1

Take the part 13; fix the Servo in part 13 with a screw (part7) and screw nut (part11), as shown in the picture;

Step 2

Take out part14 and 15, mount them in to part 13(plug slightly, do not force too much, or the acrylic part will be broken.) as shown in the picture;

 

Step 3

Take out another servo; thread the wire of servo through the hole on part 13.

 

Step 4

Fix the servo on part 13with a pair of screw (part 7) and screw nut (part 11).

 

Step 5

Insert part 12 into part 19.

 

Step 6

Screw up part 12 and 19 with a round head screw (part8),

 

Step 7

Take out part 20 and 18; screw up part 20 and the assembled part in the above step on part 18 with two round head screws (part 6).

 

Step 8

Tighten the part finished in step 7 up on the part finished in step 4.

 

Step 9

Block up the rocker arm with part 16; screw it up with part 10 and 11, assemble the rest arms in the same way. 

 

Step 10
