M2 ASSEMBLY GUIDE
M2 ASSEMBLY PART 4: MOUNT CHAINS TO FRAME (BAG A AND BAG B)
1. On left side of top beam, measure 6” (35cm) toward center and
1” (2.5cm) from the top or bottom. Insert small A3 nail through
loop in last chain link and hammer into that spot. Repeat process
on right side, with either both on the top or bottom.
2. Drape chains over the E1 motor sprockets, so they can loop
toward the center as shown.
3. Measure about 31” (78cm) on right side chain from nail toward
center of top beam. Place A2 sprocket in loop and attach B1
quick Link, with opening facing out. Repeat process on left side.
4. On right side, attach spring and tighten quick link, with link nut
facing away from beam.
Drew’s Note: We recommend a friend help connect the spring and each person
wear safety goggles during stretching. The chain can snap back causing damage to
people and surroundings!
The M2 moves in the X and Y position by using chains connected to the motors. This
guide is how to install the chains that came with your M2 on a standard 4’x8’ frame
with a 10’ Top Beam. The most important part is that the spring keeps tension on
the chains. We use nails to connect the chain, so if something goes awry, only the
nails will be removed without damaging your frame.
Also, the large nail and spacer (A4 and 5) are extra parts for custom frame designs!
5. Stretch out the spring from the right side to attach the other
end to the open quick link on left side. Tighten quick links.
