Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot Mechanical Assembly 1. Assemble the frame as pictured below. Use the supplied hex head screws and nuts to bolt the parts together. SuperDroid Robots, Inc 224 Technology Park Lane Fuquay Varina, NC 27526 www.SuperDroidRobots.com Contact (919) 557-9162 SDR@SDRobots.
Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 2. There is a brake on the back of the motors that needs to be removed before they are mounted. Remove the plastic cap from the end of the motor by removing the three screws. Unbolt the brake that is under the cap, cut the two small wires, and set the brake aside. Once the brake is removed you can put the cap back on the end of the motor. 3. Now remove the six socket head screws from the each of the motors. Set the cast aluminum bracket aside. You will not be using it.
Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 4. Slide the wheel hubs onto the motor shaft. Make sure the key on the motor is lined up with the keyway in the wheel hubs. Secure with the setscrews.

Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 5. To bolt the wheels on start by making a “stud” with the included screws. Insert the screws in the holes in the hub and secure them in place with a nut. Now slide the wheel onto the studs and secure with another nut against the rim of the wheel. TIP: Letting some air out of the tire will make removing the screws in the rim and bolting the wheel to the hub easier. DO NOT FORGET to put air back in the tires after bolting them on.
Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 6. Insert the bronze bushings in the caster tube ends. Slide the caster shaft through and secure it with a locknut. Insert the front caster wheels and bolt in place.

Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 7. You now have a rolling chassis. Next, mount the batteries using the all-thread, hex head screws, coupling nuts, and steel tube to bolt them down. Also included is a bracket to mount the electronics enclosure, which should go on top of the tube and be secured down with the same nuts.

Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 8. Mount the Sabertooth 2X60 motor controller inside the enclosure to protect it from dust and debris and then mount the enclosure to the plate on top of the batteries. The plate also has holes to mount a circuit breaker/switch that is used as the main power switch for the robot.

Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot 9. We have also included an aluminum plate that connects the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other battery. This connects the batteries in series so there is 24 volts across the other two terminals. 10. Next install the mower mount brackets to the frame. Spin a nut a couple of inches onto the threaded rod, slide the threaded rod through the outer holes in the frame, and secure with another nut on top.
Lawn Mower Chassis Upfit Robot Operation 1. Before powering on the robot make sure it is up on blocks so the wheels can spin freely. Occasionally some or all of the wheels start as soon as the motor controller gets power. In this case the settings of the motor controller need to be changed. For instructions see the section on “Servo Reversing” in the Spektrum manual. 2. Make sure to use the correct DIP switch settings.
