Attach the Legs


Plugin all the knee-servos.
Take off all the discs from the output shafts of the knee-servos and screw the legs to them making sure you assemble three left and right handed pairs.
Use part #30	#2 x 3/8inch  pan head self tap screws.

Support Hextor under the body while you attach the legs, a tall coffee jar is ideal.
Switch on Hextor to run Hextor_0.BSx. Press the left hand middle button on the keypad - Up.
The top servos will go to the Neutral position and the knee-servos will go to the leg-down position.
Now place the servo-discs on the output shafts, so the legs are pointing down and the straight edge of the leg is on the outside.
Turn-off Hextor and rotate the legs on the body so you can insert and tighten the disc-securing-screws.
