To attach the AX-LARA on a LARA-SUB unit, first note the AX-LARA figure with the rear connecting rods unfolded. Fig.2 To attach the accessory to a LARA unit, the outer connecting rod had to be fold- ed away. However, to attach the accesso- ry to a LARA-SUB unit, fold away the con- necting rod shown in the figure and lock it with a security pin. Fig.3 The result can be seen in the figure. Attach the LARA-SUB following the same steps as with the LARA units, i.e., first, at- tach the two upper front pins and then a pin to the rear connecting rod.
