Thread one nut halfway up the threaded length of each of the two screw hooks. Pass the hooks (with the nut attached) through the middle hole of the 9M beams, and lock them into place using an additional nut for each hook (see figure). Mounting of LEGO® Module Line up the LEGO® pulley modules with the holes that were drilled into the mounting plate. Pass zip ties through the holes, ensuring the setup is flush with the mounting plate. Thread the string/fishing line though the immobilized pulleys, and tie the end of the line to middle of a 9M beam after it passes through the non-moving pulley. This will prevent the line from getting eaten up by the spool and also allows for easy addition of the two moving pulleys. The screw hooks can be passed through the ends of this 9M beam to attach the platform to the system. Congratulations! You now have a LEGO® pulley system. How much weight can you lift?
