Procedure
- Assemble KS-006-YAW.
- Body B shall place both calves on A shoulders. Do not force the last degrees of hip flexion.
- Seat contact. Depth increases relative to KS-006-YAW because the femurs no longer occlude the line of action.
- A shoulders take B leg mass. If A reports overload, return to KS-006-YAW.
