Installing the bearing (For reference only. Please do not assemble it first.) U-shape Bracket Servo Plate While connecting the Servo Bracket and the U-shape Bracket, the bearing should be used for the joints with the same fixing methods. Pass the Screw C from outside towards the inside through the bearing mounted on the U-shape Bracket, then the Washer B and the Servo Bracket.

Install the rest 10 servos respectively into each Servo Plate and fix them with Screw A, Washer A and Nut A. Then lock U-shape Bracket onto servo with Screw E. While locking these screws, make sure the each U-shape Bracket is either parallel or perpendicular to the servo.
Page 23
Connect the control line of each servo to the corresponding pins on the Servo Module. Make sure that settings of servo numbers in the program conform to servo numbers on the Servo Module; only the following connection may ensure movements as programmed in the example.
iii. Fine-tuning initial value of servo There might be some positioning errors in each servo that are possibly caused by installation or mechanical errors. Therefore, before assembling and installing, it is necessary to perform a two-step adjustment so as to allow the follow-up operations to be positioned correctly. Structure fine-tuning: ...
