Scrape the surface on the U Base
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File the bottom of the **U Base** (only the part where the red framed
hole is) so that the grounding contact faces well. This operation is
not necessary if you are using non anodized sheets.
.. note:: The anodized surfaces are not
conductive.

Control Power 36V
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Control the voltage of the output of the Power 36V with a
voltmeter. It should be 36V.
Adjust voltage Power 36/12V
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Materials:**
* 1 wire 0.5mm^2 red length = 120mm
* 1 wire 0.5mm^2 red length = 150mm
* 1 wire 0.5mm^2 black length = 140mm
* 1 wire 0.5mm^2 black length = 60mm

#. Unpacking and motor control. Plug the 4 wires on an **Electrical
Box** and make it turn. This is important before making the
following steps.
#. There are two kinds of motor a 3A and a 4.2A each motor has their own
colors of wire. Depend on the Amps of the motor you use, cut the
wire as follow :
#. Motor 3A :
- red wire 47mm

#. Stripping, twisting, tinning the motor wires to 5mm
#. Cut the **Heat Shrink Tube** to 37mm length and tighten it with
industrial foehn. The red wire should protrude about 5mm..
#. Cut the **Cable Silicone 4 Cores** at 2.2m
#. Strip the **Cable Silicone 4 Cores** to 45mm.
#. Cut the wires on the **Cable Silicone 4 Cores** as follow:
