Fitting the Antennae

HARDWARE BASICS

Fitting the Legs

3-6

Insert the legs into the sockets on the WonderBorg’s body.

Push each segment of plastic-covered leg wire into the socket as far as it will go. If you have difficulty inserting the wire, push it in from a slight angle.

4-1

Using the wire-cutters, cut a length of about 15cm off the plastic-covered antenna wire (use the handy ruler on the page 56 of this manual).

4-2

Using the needle-nosed pliers, bend back the last 5mm or so of the wire.

Using the wire-cutters, snip two of the antenna sockets and two of the antenna protectors off the runner. (The other two antenna protectors are spares.)
