Introduction Welcome to the OcuTrap Assembly and Setup Manual. This guide will walk you through the process of assembling your OcuTrap step by step. The assembly process is divided into three main sections:

  1. Door Assembly

  • 2x Nuts

  • 1x Metal door

  • 1x Rod

  • 2x Nut Assembly Tool (figure below)

Step 2: Assemble the Door Mechanism and Attach the Motor

  1. Align the metal door inside the trap.

  2. On each end of the rod:

    1. Place a white washer.

    2. Add a spring.

    3. Secure it with the black capped nut.

  1. Feed the cable through the metal handle.

  2. Verify that all components are securely fastened.

  3. Check that the door moves smoothly and is properly aligned.


Section 2: POD Assembly
