Fig. 3 : The gears (n°9/10/11/8) should be placed to the left of the pinion gear. One N-shaped nylon connector
(n°15) should point downward and the other one upward. Insert the motor as depicted in the drawing. Note
that the protruding edge should point towards the metal case.
Fig. 4 : Identify boards 2 & 3. The screw opening in board 3 is located in the middle, while the one in board 2 lies
off to the left. Make sure board 1 is not upside-down.
