Chapter 3: Robot Installation NOTE: In the following steps, take care not to trap debris between the ball studs and their sockets. NOTE: The procedure for attaching outer arms is the same for both platforms. 1. Attach one pair of outer arms to each inner arm. a. As illustrated in the following figure, the outer arm assembly is most easily achieved by pivoting the two arms away from each other lengthwise. This requires the least stretching of the spring to attach the ball joints. b. Slip one ball joint socket over the corresponding ball stud. c. Swing the bottom end of the outer arm pair sideways as you slip the other ball joint socket over the corresponding ball stud. CAUTION:
Do not overstretch the outer arm springs. Separ- ate the ball joint sockets only enough to fit them over the ball studs. Figure 3-8. Installing Ball Joints Hornet 565 Robot User's Guide, 14608-000 Rev C Page 30 of 156
