19

Attach the assembled frog to the main structure. On each side use 2 M4 flathead screws. Note that the quick release cubes and the 2 M4 screws are due in the back.

20

The M4 are screwed from the outside part of the frame. 2 on each side.

21

In the front, use the 10 mm M3 flathead screws. These are screwed from the inside part of the frame. 1 on each side.

22

Continue attaching the assembled frog to the main frame. On each side, in the middle, use the 10 mm M3 flathead screws. These are screwed from the inside part of the frame. 1 on each side.

Y-belt assembly

Insert one tip of the belt between the bed lid and the frog, and secure it tight using the screws (do not overdue...), then...

24

... pass it over the bearings in the back and...

25

... in the front and secure the other tip, just as you did before.
