Building the lower platform:

  1. Take 1 M3 x 35mm and put 1 washer on it. Insert it into one of the two holes opposite the motor mount.
  2. Place the platform spacer on the screw with the flat part down.
  3. Place another motor end on the screw, followed by 1 washer and 1 ny-lock nut. Do not tighten the nut all the way, keep the nut loose, in order to attach the other two platform spacers. Repeat steps 1-3 for the rest of the motor mounts and spacers. One complete, tighten all the screws and nuts.

  5. Take 4 M3 x 10 and 4 Washers and screw them into the motor. Tighten the screws. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for the rest of the motor ends. Be sure to keep all the wires facing toward one side .The motor end is now done
