FITTING A PUPPET TO THE EASY-TALK
For fitting a puppet to your EASY-TALK system, we recommend you use
puppets that do not restrict the servo’s range of motion. If the puppet does not
allow the servos to freely move in their full range, the restriction would eventually
burn them out and void the warranty. Because the EASY-TALK was designed to
work with a variety of puppets, you will find that some fit better than others.
Make sure you EASY-TALK is powered OFF before fitting a puppet.
To fit a puppet onto your EASY-TALK, gently guide the head of the EASY-TALK
stand through the hand entry hole of the puppet, placing the mouth plates of the
EASY-TALK into the mouth of the puppet. (Make sure that you move any loose
neck fabric/liner fabric out of the way of the EASY-TALK mouth plates when you
are guiding the head through the puppet so it doesn’t get hung up on the cloth).
Be patient and careful during this process as it can take some time depending on
the puppet.
Optional foam can be cut into pieces from the sheet provided, to help give
stability and fill out any empty cavities that need support.
Foam pieces may be taped in place prior to putting the puppet on, or in some
cases stuffed in around the pole inside the body after it has been put on the
Easy-Talk armature.
