Assembling the Body

[1] Assembling the legs of the Mini Strandbeest

1.Attach the rubber feet to the ends of the lower triangles (A).

2.Attach a connecting rod (large) (C) to an upper triangle

(B).

Rubber foot

After inserting a rubber foot

cut is out to 13 pcs

(

* A left over rubber foot is a spare.)

partway, push it all the way

in using the shaft (short).

Notches

Protrusions

Line a rubber foot up with the slit on the

end of one of the lower triangles (A), and

then use the shaft (short) to push the rubber

foot into the hole to attach it. Adjust the

position of the rubber foot so that it lines up

with the middle of the slit. Do the same for

all twelve lower triangles (A) to attach a

rubber foot to each.

Attach the larger joint

on (C) to the largest

joint on (B), and then

rotate (C) 90°

downward.

Line the notches on

protrusions on (B) to

attach (C) to (B).

Separate the parts from the plastic trees that they come attached to and arrange them as shown in the

picture.Remove each of the rubber feet at the cut lines one at a time.

* A left over rubber

foot is a spare.

3. Attach a connecting rod (small) (D) to an upper triangle

(B).

4. Attach a lower triangle (A) to two connecting rods.

5. Complete all twelve legs.

Complete Steps 2 to 4 a total of twelve times to assemble the twelve sets of

legs.

Make a total of

twelve sets like

this.

Protrusion

Arrange the joint on (D) and

the joint on (B) so that the

protrusions and notches

line up as shown in the

diagram to attach (D) to (B),

and then rotate (D) 90°

downward.

Insert the crankshaft into

the slot in the middle of

the frame. There are three

protrusions on the frame

and a protrusion on the

joints at each end of the

crankshaft. Make sure

that the protrusion on the

crankshaft is facing in the

same direction as those on

the frame. Make two sets

like this.

2. Connect the right leg and crank together with a single-

action rod (small) (E).

The leg should

be attached to

the joint on the

right side of the

frame as seen

from the side

with the

crankshaft.

Upper joint

Right leg

First, attach the joint on (A) with

the protrusion to the joint on (D),

and then rotate (A) upward to

attach the other joint on (A) to

the joint on (C) with the

protrusion. This completes one

leg.

Attach the largest joint

on the leg to the joint

on the right side of the

frame so that the

rubber foot on the leg

is at the bottom. Attach

(E) to the upper joint

on the leg so that the

protrusion and notch

line up, and then push

the key part on (E)

down onto the crank as

shown by the arrow so

that it snaps into place.

Attach the largest joint on the

leg to the joint on the left side

of the frame so that it is

opposite from the right side,

and then attach (F) to the

lower joint on the leg and push

it down onto the crank that

was attached in Step 2 so that

it snaps into place. When

completing this step, make

sure to position the newly

attached rod so that it is in

front.

Attach (F) to the lower

joint on the right leg, and

then push it onto the crank

that was attached in Steps

2 and 3 until it snaps into

place. Make sure to

position the newly attached

rod so that it is in front.

Attach (E) to the upper

joint on the left leg, and

then push it onto the

crank that was attached

in Steps 2, 3, and 4 until

it snaps into place. Make

sure to position the

newly attached rod so

that it is in front.

Once you have attached both legs, check to make sure that the rods

attached to the crank are in the order of upper left, lower right, lower left,

and upper right, as seen from the front. If the order is different, the legs

may not move smoothly.
