(7) Loosely secure the Joint #4 motor unit to

Arm #2.

Check that the motor unit can be moved by

hand, and it will not tilt when pulled.

If the unit is secured too loose or too tight,

the belt will not have the proper tension.

(8) Secure the spline upper rotator part on the Arm #2 upper side with screws.

(9) Rotate and move up/down the ball screw spline shaft.

(10) Apply the proper tension to the U1 belt, and

secure the Joint #4 motor unit.

To do so, pass a suitable cord or string around

the Joint #4 motor unit near its mounting

plate. Then, pull the cord using a force

gauge or similar tool to apply the specified

tension shown in the figure on the right.

(11) Apply the proper tension to the Z belt, and

secure the Joint #3 motor unit.

To do so, pass a suitable cord or string around

(12) Connect the connectors.

Connectors: X231, X241, X31, X41

(13) Re-bundle the cables in their original positions with the wire tie removed in the

Removal step (8).

Do not allow unnecessary strain on the cables.

(14) Connect the backup connectors for Joint #3 and #4 (X63, X64) to the battery board.

Bundle the backup cable with wire tie to prevent the cable connector to fall off by

mistake.

(15) Mount the user plate and ground wire to Arm #2.

(16) Mount the battery board to the Arm #2.

(17) Install the arm top cover and the arm bottom cover.

For details,

refer to Maintenance: 3. Covers.

(18) Perform the calibration of Joint #3 and #4.

For details, refer to

Maintenance: 14. Calibration
