Assembly Instructions: Kit #12

Rapid Assembly Basic QuikLock

Reed Switch Motor

1. Insert the motor shaft through the holes in two 2x2 rotor pieces as shown*. Center the

shaft.

2. Add plastic sleeves (washers) to both ends of the shaft. They fit tightly and require some

effort. You may put the sleeve on the table and push the shaft in with the negative end of

the battery. Leave a small gap so the sleeves are slightly above the surface of the knobs.
