Cant give you direct instructions but what you are looking for is called **AnimationBlueprint**. There you can set which animations are to be played.

Here is the documentation. The generated mannequin already has such an AnimationBlueprint assigned. Maybe you can look up a Tutorial on YouTube. If i can i will post a screenshot later.
