Assembly Instruction
Step 1
- Remove the protection paper of plastic sheet, fixture, and speed encoder.
- Insert fixture into the plastic sheet
Step 2
- Install the speed encoder, and fix the motor to the plastic sheet
Attention: The motor lead should be faced to inside, the speed ebcoder side, cannot install reversed
Step 3
- Fix the motor to the plastic sheet, insert the screws then tight up the nults
Step 4
- Insert the screws, and fasten the battery holder
Step 5
- Insert the copper cylinder, fix the Omni-directional ball caster metal by 8 screws. Pinch the motor(to protect the fixture), then insert it into wheel. Assemble finish.
