2 Prepare Extrusions

Follow the Front T-slot nut guide on the WorkHorse printout located at the frame sub-assembly work station.

  • Follow the Front Side, Left Extrusion guide slide 9x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053] into 1x T-slot extrusion 500mm [HD-EX0062]

  • Follow the Front Side, Right Extrusion guide slide 8x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053] and 2x post assembly T-slot nuts [HD-NT0044] into 1x T-slot extrusion 500mm [HD-EX0062]

Then take the front side left and right extrusions and place them in the fixture mounted to the work station. Make sure the right extrusion has the 2x [HD-NT0044] on top!

  • Follow the Front Side, Top Extrusion guide slide 8x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053] into 1x T-slot extrusion 530mm [HD-EX0086]

  • Follow the Front Side, Bottom Extrusion guide using 8x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053]

Then take the front side top and bottom extrusions and place them in the fixture mounted to the work station.

3 Assemble Front Side

Place a corner bracket [PP-FP0152] over the corner of two extrusions and align the end two T-slot nuts on each extrusion with the four holes in the corner bracket.

Then repeat for the other three corners.

Now use 1x M5x10 BHCS [HD-BT0073] with a M5 washer [HD-WA0040] and loosely secure the corner bracket to the extrusion.

Then repeat for the other 15 holes in the corner brackets.

Place and align the corner bracket with the extrusions and T-slot nuts
Repeat for the other three corners
Then fasten [HD-BT0073] with [HD-WA0040] into the T-slot nuts
Repeat for the other 15 T-slot nuts
Use the drill to torque the screw
Repeat for the other 15 screws

4 Place Tape on Front Assembly

Place the blue tape around each corner to keep the T-slot nuts from sliding out of the extrusions.

Then tape the top right corner bracket and use the marker at the work station to write F WH

Use the tape fixture and remove a piece of tape
Place the tape over the corner of the extrusion
Repeat for the other three corners
Use the marker and write F WH

6 Prepare Extrusions

Follow the Rear T-slot nut guide on the WorkHorse printout located at the frame sub-assembly work station.

  • Follow the Rear Side, Left Extrusion guide using 8x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053] and 1x post assembly T-slot nuts [HD-NT0044]

  • Follow the Rear Side, Right Extrusion guide using 10x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053] and 2x post assembly T-slot nuts [HD-NT0044]

Then take the rear side left and right extrusions and place them in the fixture mounted to the work station.

  • Follow the Rear Side, Top Extrusion guide using 8x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053]

  • Follow the Rear Side, Bottom Extrusion guide using 8x M5 T-slot nuts [HD-NT0053]

Then take the rear side top and bottom extrusions and place them in the fixture mounted to the work station.

7 Assemble Rear Side

Repeat the assembly process for the rear side.

Place a corner bracket [PP-FP0152] over the corner of two extrusions and align the end two T-slot nuts on each extrusion with the four holes in the corner bracket.

Then repeat for the other three corners.

Now use 1x M5x10 BHCS [HD-BT0073] with a M5 washer [HD-WA0040] and loosely secure the corner bracket to the extrusion.

Then repeat for the other 15 holes in the corner brackets.

Place and align the corner bracket with the extrusions and T-slot nuts
Repeat for the other three corners
Then fasten [HD-BT0073] with [HD-WA0040] into the T-slot nuts
Repeat for the other 15 T-slot nuts
Use the drill to torque the screw
Repeat for the other 15 screws

8 Place Tape on Rear Assembly

Place the blue tape around each corner to keep the T-slot nuts from sliding out of the extrusions.

Then tape the top right corner bracket and use the marker at the work station to write R WH

Use the tape fixture and remove a piece of tape
Place the tape over the corner of the extrusion
Repeat for the other three corners
Use the marker and write R WH
