4. Ntuziaka Mgbakọ
The KSR12 is a build-it-yourself kit. Successful assembly requires careful attention to detail and adherence to the provided graphical instructions. The kit contains 229 parts that must be assembled in the correct sequence.
- Wepu akụrụngwa: Carefully unbox all parts and verify against the parts list (usually found at the beginning of the separate assembly manual).
- Follow Step-by-Step Diagrams: The primary assembly guide consists of detailed graphic illustrations. Follow each step precisely. Do not skip steps.
- Hydraulic System Assembly: Pay close attention when connecting the hydraulic tubes and cylinders. Ensure all connections are secure and free from leaks. Water is the hydraulic fluid, so proper sealing is critical for functionality.
- Lever Mechanism: Assemble the control levers and their corresponding hydraulic cylinders as instructed. These levers will control the arm's movements.
- Testing Connections: Before filling with water, perform a dry run of the mechanical movements to ensure all parts move freely.
- Na-ejuputa mmiri: Once fully assembled, carefully fill the hydraulic system with water as per the specific instructions in the assembly guide. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped, as this can impair performance.
Note: A comprehensive, separate assembly manual with detailed graphic illustrations is included with the product. Refer to that document for specific step-by-step building instructions.

5. Ntuziaka ọrụ
The KSR12 Hydraulic Robotic Arm is controlled by a series of levers that actuate the hydraulic cylinders. Each lever corresponds to a specific movement of the arm.
- Ntụgharị ntọala: One lever controls the rotation of the arm's base, allowing it to turn left and right.
- Main Arm Lift: Another lever controls the primary upward and downward movement of the main arm section.
- Forearm Extension: A dedicated lever manages the extension and retraction of the forearm.
- Mmegharị Aka: Control for the wrist's up and down motion.
- Gripper Operation: A lever opens and closes the gripper (claw) at the end of the arm. The arm comes with a suction cup attachment for alternative gripping.
To operate, gently push or pull the levers. Observe the corresponding movement of the arm. Practice coordinating multiple levers for complex movements. The hydraulic system provides smooth and precise control.

6. Nlekọta
- Ọkwa mmiri mmiri: Periodically check the water level in the hydraulic system. Refill with clean water if necessary.
- Nyocha leak: Regularly inspect all hydraulic connections for any signs of leakage. Tighten connections if leaks are detected.
- Nhicha: Wipe down the robotic arm with a damp akwa iji wepu uzuzu na irighiri ihe. Zere iji kemịkalụ siri ike.
- Nchekwa: Store the arm in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
7. Nchọpụta nsogbu
| Nsogbu | Ihe nwere ike ime | Ngwọta |
|---|---|---|
| Arm movement is sluggish or unresponsive. | Low water level in hydraulic cylinders; air bubbles in the system; loose connections. | Refill water, bleed air from the system (refer to assembly manual), check and tighten all connections. |
| Water leakage from connections. | Loose tubing or improperly sealed connections. | Ensure all tubing is fully inserted and connections are tight. Re-check seals. |
| Arm parts are stiff or jammed. | Incorrect assembly; debris obstructing movement. | Review assembly steps for errors. Inspect for and remove any obstructions. |
