Applying the board to the base 

It is advised to perform the baseboard placement with two persons.  

4.5.1 

Applying the baseboard with extenders 

Before applying the extenders to the base, make sure all the setscrews [D] and [E] are fully loosened. Place 
the  four  extenders  [C]  in  the  base  couplers  [B].  Do  not  tighten  the  base  coupler  set  screws  yet!  Insert  the 
baseboard pins in the extenders, make sure to let the baseboard pins sink in uniformly. Now first tighten the 
extender  locking  set  screws  [4x].  Finally  lock  the  extenders  to  the  base  by  tightening  the  base  coupler  set 
screws.  

 

Figure 5 Applying the baseboard on extenders 

After the baseboard is fixed you can apply the motor case [H] by using the two supplied M3x4 cylinder head 
bolts [I] using a 2mm Allen key. Finally the remote holder [F] (which is mounted to the baseboard inversely) 
can be mounted to the baseboard by using locking knobs [G] 

4.5.2 

Applying the baseboard without extenders  

Before applying the baseboard to the base, make sure locking screws [E] inside base couplers [B] are fully 
loosened. Apply the baseboard to the base by uniformly sinking the baseboard pins in the base couplers. Make 
sure to retighten the locking set screws [E 4x] after the placement.
