TROUBLESHOOTING
If the mega cyborg hand’s fingers are not working, check the following:
1. Check if there is air in the G1 cylinder. If so, complete the steps on page 49.
2. Use pages 18–19 to check that the hydraulic cylinders are assembled correctly.
3. Check that the fingers are correctly assembled and correctly connected together (check on pages
11–15).
If the mega cyborg hand’s thumb doesn’t work properly, check the following:
1. Check if there is air in the G2 cylinder. If so, follow the steps on page 51.
2. Check if the hydraulic tube is twisted and blocked.
3. Check that the hydraulic cylinder is assembled correctly. Compare pages 18, 19, and 23.
4. Check that you have assembled the thumb correctly. Go to pages 25-27.
If the degree of extension of the mega cyborg hand’s
fingers cannot be adjusted properly:
Go to page 28 and check that you have followed steps
1–6 correctly.
Air in the cylinders limits the function of the
hydraulic system. The fingers and thumb will
not flex and extend as well if there is air in the
hydraulic systems.
Regardless of how long you have played with the
mega cyborg hand, air can get into the hydraulic
system from time to time. You can find out how
to get rid of it on the next page.
