The following text describes the assembly of the left door only; the

attachment of the right-hand door has to be done accordingly.

3.1 Assembly of the hinge parts (ill. 3a)

Drawings in the upper line show the assembly of the right-hand side,

those in the lower line the assembly of the left-hand side.





When adding the hinge pins make sure that all hinge components

are in correct position. This is very important for both, the function

and the correct fitting of the cab door. For a better orientation

some of the components are specially marked (see corresponding

arrows in the drawing). Please refer to ill. 3b which is showing not

only the hinge components at original size and completely assem-

bled but also the correct position of the angled hinge components

(length of leg and angle position).

1st step: Lay the hinge support 970 from inside into both long open-

ings on the left inside door panel 968; press then one nut 109 into

the hexagonal slot of the support and fix it from outside using one

countersunk screw 926.

2nd step: Push one hinge pin 827 into the hole on the longer leg

(note the corresponding mark!) of one of the door hinges 972 until

the top of the pin sits flush. From the top press then this pin through

that hole provided for on the support you have already pre-mounted.

On the bottom insert a second hinge pin 972 (note the corresponding

mark!); use an appropriate tool to push it into place until the upper

door hinge snaps into that slot on the inside door panel. The two

door hinges 971 have to be mounted in the same way.

3rd step: Now set the door hinge 974 between both already pre-

mounted angled hinges (use the centre holes) and fix it with a further

pin 827. Afterwards the shorter leg (note the corresponding mark!) of

the hinge 973 has to be added to the other hinges in the same way.

4th step: Attention! The holes on the supports 975 are not central!

Note the correct position of the corresponding mark when mounting

the supports along with pins 827 to the free holes of the hinges!

3.2 Assembly of the door (ill. 3c)

First remove the protecting foil from the door window 981. Now use

the mirror support 470 as well as the tapping screw 907 in order to

premount the following parts: door 976, door window 981, door lock

980 and inside door panel 968. Please pay attention to the correct

position of the door lock!

For easier differentiation both door trims 978 and 979 are marked by

letters: „L“ = left, „R“ = right. Lead one door handle 611 through the

left door cover 978. Afterwards set the door trim along with the han-

dle onto the proper door, whereby the short axles on the door handle

must sit exactly inside the half-round bearing of the door panel. With

two countersunk screws 727 fix then door panel with door and trim.

Using one screw 741 add finally the second mirror support 470 onto

the top of the door.

4.1 Cutting threads

Threads have to be cut into six screw holes on the roof. Before you

start the proper assembly, use self-cutting screws 111 supplied with

this kit to cut these threads. You should lubricate the screw and the

screw holes (using a little petroleum jelly, for instance) before doing

so and afterwards use a soft cloth to remove excess lubricant.

4.2 Antenna socket and horns

Affix the components for the antenna socket 568 to the roof 1386 as

shown in the illustration. Please note that the antenna cable from the

remote control receiver will have to be soldered to the antenna

socket.

The horns 707 are fitted with bushings 26 and spring washers 14 and

then affixed, through the holes provided in the roof, using screws 4,

nuts M3 and serrated washers 15.

4.3 Assembly of roof, locking device and rear panel

When adding the assembly of the roof and upper rear panel to the

cab, do not tighten the fasteners as both units have to be detachable.

For locking the roof, two door locks catch behind those metal sheets

specially provided for that on the side panels.

To a door handle 75 add one nut M3 and tighten it. Then slide the

door lock 76 over it and screw on one square nut 12. Fix door handle

and door lock that way that they are facing same direction. When

fastening the door lock it is advisable securing it with pliers. Afterwards

add a further nut M3. Once you have added one spring washer 14

and one washer 13, slide the handle through that hole provided for

on the left-hand roof locking plate 994. From behind add now one

washer 13 and fasten the unit using two nuts M3. By the same way

add a door handle to the right-hand side roof locking plate 995.

Now provide a guide post on each locking sheet by using each one

bolt 1046 and screws 742. Build another similar post onto the guide

sheet 996; as the hole is not central please note the correct side (di-

mension in the illustration is of 4.5) when adding it. Use two screws 1

to fix the guide sheet underneath the roof.

Press now the lenses 997 and 998 into those holes provided in the

front of the roof. Feed the wires from each bulb 713 through the

holes provided on both roof locking sheets.

Fix the left hand roof locking sheets onto the underside of the roof

with screws 1. Use screws 742 and nuts 109 to add the 7-pole pin

terminal 1000 to the right hand roof locking sheet. Once all wires

have been connected (see chapter 4.5), similarly to the left-hand one

fix the right-hand roof locking sheet underneath the proper roof. Af-

terwards insert the bulbs into the roof lamp lenses.

Fixing the rear panel 993 to the roof: For this purpose slide each one

square nut 12 with one spring washer 14 into those slots on the two

fixing links underneath the roof. Set the rear panel into the guide

groove and squeeze it by tightening screws 2.

Note:Those free holes on the rear panel 993 are provided for the at-

tachment of the side spoilers (accessories).

4.4 Fixing the air filter

Using two panel screws 21, start by mounting the side part 1004 onto

the outside part 1002. With countersunk screws 564 add afterwards

the inside part 1003 to the outside part 1002. Finally fix this unit with

screws 2 onto the rear panel, and with screws 2and washers 13

onto the roof.

4.5 Connecting diagram for the clamp-type terminals

When removing the roof, you may also disconnect the cabling at the

pin and socket connector. For this purpose use the 7-pole pin termi-

nal 1000 and the 7-pole socket terminal 1001. Accordingly to the il-

lustration, a resistor 1038 for the roof lamps has to be mounted onto

the pin terminal and the antenna cable has to be soldered to the an-

tenna socket.

The illustration shows the different connections. To make both sides

clearly visible, you find two illustrations of the pin terminal 1000.

Installing the Diesel Engine Sound, Art.-No. 193: The Diesel

engine sound includes the loudspeaker, which can be stuck into

the area provided on the underside of the roof, using double sided

adhesive pads.

Assembly of headlights and blinkers

Cut the piece of reflector foil 1037 (no ill.) to size according to the

size of the headlight housings 1006 and 1007 and lay these pieces

into the lamp cases. Accordingly to the drawing, afterwards press

one bulb into each of the clips provided on the lamp housings. As per

drawing feed the wires through the narrow slots inside these lamp

cases outwards.

First fit the lens 1010 of the left blinker into the corresponding opening

on the bumper 1005 by pressing it into place from the inside, flush to

the left, and add a headlight lens 624 with the funnel-shaped ribbing

showing outwards. The lugs on the top and bottom of the outer left

blinker lens 1008 fit into the slots in the grooves on the left bumper

side. Now set the left-hand lamp housing 1006 that way onto the fix-

ing domes inside the bumper that the upper collar of the blinker lens

gets fixed behind the cut-out of the headlight housing. Finally fix the

housing with screws 564. Do the assembly of the right-hand head-

light housing 1007 in the same way.

7.1 Cutting threads (see small drawing)

Threads have to be cut into eight screw holes on the front panel. Use

self-cutting screws 111 to cut these threads by the same method as

described under chapter 4.1.

7.2 Mounting the front- and side panels

Don't tighten all screwed connections as the cab skeleton has still to

be adjusted.

Start by securing the left-hand fixing plate 1020 into the suiting cut-

out made for this purpose on the front panel 1016; use countersunk

screw 355, serrated washer 15 and nut M3 for that. Afterwards slide

two square nuts 12 into both upper slots on the fixing frames of the

left side panel 1017; then fix the side panel with screws 1onto the

fixing plate. Make sure that the external sides of both, front- and side

panels, are exactly in alignment. Now mount the right-hand fixing

plate 1021 and the right-hand side panel 1018 in the same way. Slide

another square nut 12 into each of the rear upper fixing slots on the

side panels; with screws 1secure then the fixing angle 1022 into

place between the two side panels.

At this stage of assembly adjust the external contours of the pre-

mounted cab with the roof assembled at chapter 4.1. From top slide

that rear panel you have already mounted onto the roof into the verti-

cal grooves on the side panels. Both lateral fixing plates mounted

onto the cab, as well as the fixing angle include fixing holes; these

holes have to be aligned with those pilots which previously were

added to the roof. At the screwed connections on the panels all com-

ponents may now suitably be moved.

Once all parts have been adjusted correctly, tighten all nuts and

screws.

7.3 Doors, windscreen and dashboard

Set the doors you have assembled at stage 3.2 into their places on

the cab. With screws 1 fix the hinge supports to the front panel. When

closed, the doors should stay parallel to the side panel; by moving

the supports you achieve the final adjustment.

Press the windscreen 1019 into the front panel. For this purpose slide

the screen from inside into the groove on the left side of the front

panel. In order to fit the screen into the groove on the right hand side

you need to bow it inwards slightly, then press it forward gently until

it clicks into place. Finally attach the dashboard with screws 1onto

the front panel.

7.4 Seat- and lower rear panel





First pass the switch toggles at the switch panel through the holes

provided in the seat rear panel 222; secure from the front using

four knurled nuts 210 (see therefore illustration 14).

Attach the switch sticker onto the seat rear panel - above the four

holes for the toggle switches on the switch panel - ; the letters indi-

cating the switches are now upside down. Slide one square nut 12

into each of the slots on the centre fixing frames of the side panels.

Afterwards attach the seat rear panel 222 that way that those sides

with the fixing holes lay underneath the fixing frames on the side

panels; insert screws 1from the bottom and tighten them on the right

side. Don't tighten the screws on the left-hand side as the left side

panel has still to remain moveable. With screws 114 and nuts 109 fix

the stopping devices for the cab lock 1025 onto the lower rear panel

1387. Slide the lower rear panel into the suiting groove on the right

side panel, press then the left side panel outwards and slide the rear

panel also into same groove. Now tighten the screws on the left side

on the seat rear panel.

The illustration at the left shows the locations of the PCBs and the

routing of the ribbon cable beneath the frame. The cable will have to

be installed underneath the frame before the electrical devices are

installed in their entirety. The cable should run between the frame

and the axles, the fifth-wheel shaft and the screws used to affix the

tank. If the cable were to be laid later it would be necessary to disas-

semble some components already installed.

The best course of action is to read all the information on the electri-

cal system in Chapter 17 before you begin assembling the compo-

nents on the frame. This will give you an idea of which components

will be connected by cable.

9.1 Fixing parts for the cab

Using each two nuts M3 to attach one screw 4, washer 13 and bush-

ing 26 onto the lower front holes on both sides of the frame 1388. At

a later stage of assembly (after the completion of all assembly

groups - see Chapter 16 - the front panel of the cab will be set

hereon.

Press the locking device 1029 into the base 1030 and set both pres-

sure springs 176 laterally between the pigots of these two parts. Ac-

cordingly to the illustration mount the base with screws 2and nuts

M3 onto the frame. After adding the cab to the frame both noses of

the locking unit catch over those stopping devices mounted on the

rear panel and thereby secure the cab.

9.2 Mounting the servo unit

Accordingly to the drawing, use screws 57, washers 13 and bushings

1385 to fix the steering servo onto the servo supporting angle 760.

Use screws 2and nuts M3 to attach the servo supporting angle un-

derneath the frame.

9.3 Mounting the PCB support

Use two adhesive pads 655 to affix the PCB support 723 behind the

servo supporting angle under the frame.

9.4 Assembling the blinker switch

Slide two single-bent springs 721 into the corresponding holes and

slots in the base plate 720. Insert the double-bent spring 722 into the

two holes on the lever blinker switch 724 and then place the eye of

the lever over the boss on the base plate. The cover plate 719 is now

secured to the base plate with countersunk screws 564.

Attach the blinker switch with two adhesive pads 655 that way onto

the steering servo, that the clamp-type connector 929 lays closely on

the fore edge of the housing.

with the link lever and a tapping screw 21. Mount the fifth-wheel 71

from above, inserting the feet into the slots in the frame. Slide the

shaft 73 through the holes at the side of the frame and the feet of the

fifth-wheel, catching the free end of the spring 74 between the feet

when doing so. The shaft is secured with two retaining washers 25.





Please ensure when attaching the fifth-wheel that the ribbon cable

with the two circuit boards is located between the frame and the

shaft (ill. 8).

10.2 Mounting the rear bumper assembly

First insert the bulbs 713 in the lamp caps 709 as shown in the figure.

Now affix the assembled caps to the rear bumper 47 using one each

screw 57 and M3 nut. From the rear insert the lenses into the bumper:

outwards the blinker lenses 341, inwards the rear light lenses 342.

Attach the frame tail piece 46 underneath the frame using screws 1

and M3 nuts. Then the bumper and carrier plate 710 are set in front

of the frame tail piece and attached with screws 2and M3 nuts.





Take particular care that the bulb cables are not clamped between

the bumper and the frame tail piece; this could cause a short cir-

cuit!

Using two adhesive pads 655, affix the PCB support 723 on the front

surface of the carrier plate, centred and flush with the bottom edge.

11.1 Mounting the suspension with front axle

First install the screws 3together with washers 13, bushings 26, and

M3 nuts at the rearward holes in the frame, provided for attaching the

springs. Then attach the open ends of the two long spring leaves 32

at the bushings and use an identical set of parts to screw the closed

ends to the front of the frame 45. One nut 19 each is pressed into the

hexagonal depressions at the steering lever 42. Use two screws 5

and M3 nuts to attach to the long spring leafs, previously mounted,

two medium spring leaves 33 and a short spring leaf 34 along with

two half-axle guards 41, into which the front axle 55 and steering

lever 42 have been inserted. Before tightening down the screws 5

ensure that the spring sets are not under tension and can move

freely.

11.2 Mounting the wheels and steering linkage

First mount the standard tyres 53 on the rims 52. Then use screws

18 and one washer 20 each in front of and behind the axle tube 27

located in the hub to bolt the wheels to the steering lever, using the

nut already inserted. To the outer holes on the steering levers fix two

screws 4along with nuts M3. To this unit add now the track rod 1390

using washers 13 and stop nuts 908; do not tighten the stop nuts but

leave the track rod moveable.

With screws 2fix two ball bolts 29 to the inner holes on the steering

levers for the attachment of the steering rods. To a steering rod 36

add one nut 109, fork head 789 and ball socket 30. The steering rod

has to be bent slightly, depending on the size of the servo unit. After-

wards clip this steering rod for the servo linking to the left-hand ball

bolt. For operation of the blinker switch, add to the right-hand ball

bolt another steering rod 36, equipped with two ball sockets 30. Ad-

just the distance between the ball sockets so that the wheels are in

the straight-ahead position when the lever of the blinker switch is in

its neutral setting.

12.1 Mounting the mud guards

The mud guard support 715 is marked with an "X" and will later be

mounted on the passenger’s side, the mud guard support 716

marked "O" on the driver's side. First attach to these supports the

mud flaps 717 and the mud guards 714 with four screws 114 and

nuts 109 each. Then use screws 6, serrated washers 15, bushings

26, two washers 13 and M3 nuts to attach the supports to the holes

at the rear of the frame.

12.2 Mounting the spring set and axle

Attach the open ends of the two long spring leaves 32 to the bushing

and use a screw 3, bushing 26, washer 13 and M3 nut to screw the

closed end to the frame. Press one each M3 nut into the hexagonal

recess at the lower spring carrier 70. The axle 68 can now be

mounted together with the spring carriers, one medium spring leaf 33

each, a short spring leaf 34 and screws 4.





Ensure that the end of the spring carrier 70 identified with an "M"

is toward the wheel.





The ribbon cable with the two lamp PCBs should be mounted

when attaching the rear axle and the differential!

12.3 Mounting the spring set and differential

First attach the long spring leaves 32 to the frame. Once you have

inserted one square nut 12 each into the grooves at the side of the

differential the springs can be attached with screws 1. The differential

has two cams on the wheel mounts; the grooves in the hubs are

aligned exactly with these cams. The wheels are affixed using

screws 17 (which will cut their own threads) and washers 20. Press

the joint ball 64 into the joint socket at the mounted differential.





In no case should you use an M3 screw more than 6 mm long to

affix the spring set as this would cause binding and damage the

shafts on the differential!

12.4 Mounting the wheels

Once you have mounted the drive axle tyre 1160 on the rims 52 the

wheels are mounted on the shaft, with the wheel nuts facing one an-

other and the chromed rims toward the outside; secure with a washer

20 and a screw 17. The wheels should turn easily but there should

not be too much play.

13.1 Mounting the motor and gearbox

Use screws 2to bolt the gear cover 59 to the motor 708 (we supply

the white motor pinion 60 (14t.) already mounted to the motor shaft).

Before assembling the gearing lubricate the gears and shafts lightly

with Vaseline. Then clip the joint ball 64 in the gear wheel 62. Lay this

gear wheel, the double pinion 61 with shaft 63 and -not to forget!- the

shim 391 in the gear housing 58 and use screws 2and M3 nuts to

secure the gear housing to the cover. Once assembled, this unit is

inserted from above into the opening in the frame and secured at the

sides with screws 2, washers 13 and M3 nuts. At the same time the

drive shaft 359 is inserted at the joint balls between the gearbox and

the differential.

13.2 Mounting the speed controller





When affixing the speed controller 1582 please ensure that the

ribbon cable with the two lamp PCBs are located between the

frame and the screws used to affix the speed controller (ill. 8).

First mount each of the straight ends of the clamp fittings 54 along

with the tank supports 1056 to the right-hand side of the frame; for this

purpose use screws 949 and nuts M3.

Now set the speed controller into the tank supports. Lay the long ends

of the tank supports and the clamp fittings around the speed control-

ler and fix the clamp fittings from underneath to the screws using

washers 13 and nuts M3.

13.3 Mounting the exhaust unit

The threads in the plastic components are cut by the corresponding

screws; therefore before starting the assembly it is advisable first to

screw down them by approx. 2 mm and afterwards to unscrew them

again.

First press the outer exhaust panel 1040 into the slot on the lower

exhaust half shell 1042 and then mount the exhaust pipe 1043 with

one screw 57 and nut M3 (see small drawing).

Using screws 115 and nuts 109 fix the inner exhaust panel 1039 onto

the frame. Now fit the lower half shell along with the premounted

outer panel into the inner exhaust panel and screw down screws 6

but do not fasten them.

Lay the upper exhaust shield 1045 onto the upper exhaust half shell

1041, so that the narrow edge (approx. 2 mm) lays towards the frame;

connect both parts with screws 653 and nuts 654. For this purpose

use that plastic wrench 656 supplied with this kit. Afterwards slide

this premounted half shell into the inner exhaust panel; with it's slot

set it suitably onto the outer exhaust panel. Once all components fit

correctly, tighten screws

Finally add the front exhaust shield 1044 and fix it with four screws

653.

16.1 Attachment of the cab onto the frame

Attach the cab by fixing the front panel onto the frame. Open slots

at the flange on the bottom of the front panel serve for this purpose:

Slide them onto those bushings screwed onto the front frame (see

notes below), and then fix them with two hinge supports 632 and

with screws 1. Thus the cab tilts forwards.

16.2 Mounting the seats

Use screws 1and nuts M3 to attach the seat socket 729 onto the

seat back 728. With two screws 727 fix the U-bow 731 onto the lower

fixing holes of the seat back. Hang the mounted seats into the slots of

the seat rear panel.

16.3 Attachment of battery and roof

From the rear set first the battery 1392 into the cab. The space be-

tween battery and battery plate may serve for the installation of a

Diesel Engine Sound, Art.-No. 193.

As described before, the proper roof is not fixed directly to the cab.

From top slide the rear panel -previously mounted to the roof- be-

tween both side panels; that pigot mounted to the roof serves for se-

curing it. The roof gets locked by turning those door locks you have

added above the doors.

16.4 Attaching the small exterior components

As shown in the illustration add now all stickers you have chosen for

your cab from the decal sheet 1014.

Press the two windscreen wipers 228 and the two front handles 1032

into the holes at the front panel. The sun visor 1389 is attached

above the windshield with two adhesive pads 655. Insert the antenna

718 into the antenna socket after sliding the ball onto the tip of the

antenna.

Finally add the side mirrors. Stick the reflector foil 574 onto the mirrors

573 and press them onto the mirror supports 1033 and 1034. Hang

on the complete mirror to the mirror supports you have already

mounted to the doors.

The wiring diagram shows the cable connections for the individual

electrical components.

17.1 Mounting the switching panel and lamp PCBs

The switch panel is inserted into the seat rear panel of the cab. First

connect the bulbs and cables and then clip the lamp PCBs in place

at the front and rear in the supports provided for this purpose.

17.2 Information on the bulbs, troubleshooting

All the bulbs are 3-volt bulbs connected in series. This means that

the conductors are not each connected to the supply voltage, as in

an automobile. Instead, the ends are joined one to another to form a

chain and the ends of the chain are attached to the power supply.

Consequently just a single defective bulb will interrupt the entire cir-

cuit and none of the lamps in the chain will light. The best way to lo-

cate the defective bulb is to use a cable to bypass each of the bulbs

in the series, one after the other. When you bypass the defective

bulb, the rest in the chain will light. The reason for using a series cir-

cuit, which may appear to be complicated, is the low power consump-

tion. 3-volt bulbs use far less power than 12-volt bulbs in relation to

their brightness. The power consumed by a chain of up to five 3-volt

bulbs is just 0.1 A in the series connection which we use; 12-volt

bulbs, by comparison, would draw 0.3 A.

17.3 Wiring the roof lamps

Connect the red/black cable of the switch panel to the 7-pole socket

terminal provided for the roof. Then connect the bulb wires as well as

the resistor to the 7-pole pin terminal underneath the roof (see also il-

lustration 4.5).

17.4 Wiring at the rear lamp PCB

(tail and brake lights, rear blinkers)

The red/black/yellow cable exiting the switch panel for the rear lamps

is routed under the frame and to the rear and connected to the PCB

- marked on the bottom with „H“ for rear - as shown in the illustration.

The green/yellow brake light cable coming from the speed controller

is also to be connected at this PCB. Once the bulb leads have been

attached, the PCB is clipped in place at the support which was previ-

ously affixed with adhesive pads.

Explanation: The green/yellow brake light cable connects the brake

light bulbs to ground when the vehicle is at a standstill. This circuitry

incorporates an element which limits the current to 750 mA and will

disable the circuit in case of an overload or short. Switching off the

supply voltage for about one second will reset this element, provided

that the reason for the malfunction has been corrected.

17.5 Wiring at the front lamp PCB

(headlamps, front blinkers)

The green/yellow/grey cable serving the lamps at the front also exits

from the switch panel and is routed below the frame and to the front

in exactly the same fashion. After connecting to the PCB - marked

on the bottom with „V“ for front - and connecting the bulb leads, the

lamp PCB is clipped in place in the support previously mounted.

17.6 Wiring the blinker switch

The green/brown/white cable for the blinker switch terminates in a

clamp-type connector (see therefore ill. 17a on page 14). This con-

nector is attached to the blinker switch (if the direction of travel does

not correspond to the blinking, please rotate it through 180°),

mounted beneath the steering servo, already illustrated in ill. 9.

17.7 Connecting the speed controller

Connect the AMP socket with the yellow cables to the corresponding

AMP plug at the drive motor, and the AMP plug with the red/black

cables to the AMP socket at the switch panel.

The connection of the green/yellow brake light cable has already

been described in Section 17.4. The signal "brake light" is switched

by minus line, and it is time-triggered: As soon as one changes the

position of the control lever from either "forward" or from "reverse" to

the neutral position (switched-off), the brake light starts lighting for

approx. eight seconds. But as soon as the travelling operation is

started again, the brake light stops automatically its blinking, even

before having finished these eight seconds.

Attach the connecting socket with the brown/red/orange cable to one

of the receiver terminals. If the socket doesn't match the receiver,

you will need to add an adapter cable (not making part of this kit).

17.8 Starting the electrical system (see switches, ill.17b)

The electrical system is put into operation by turning on the main

switch; the LED blinks. Then the transmitter and receiver are switched

on, in this order. (Always switch off the receiver first and then the

transmitter!) If a speed controller has been installed, the brake lights

will go on. If the light switch is on, the headlamps, the roof lamps and

the tail lamps will light.

NU qÜÉ=ëéÉÉÇ=ÅçåíêçääÉê=

The WEDICO speed controller is matched to the WEDICO-Bühler

motor. The electronics are permanently installed in a tank housing,

which should never be opened! Never apply force as this could

damage the speed controller and nullify any and all guarantee enti-

tlements. Prior to its supply, each speed controller is individually

tested and provided with a basic programming. In your particular

case, probably this general basic programming may not be the opti-

mal for the type of RC equipment you are using, but you of course

may change it (for further details please refer to the section 18.2

"programming").

18.1 Starting the speed controller

Switch the electrics on by the following sequence: start by the main

switch of the Electr. System, then switch on the transmitter, and finally

the receiver; keep your eye on the control LED. Before you make the

motor starts working remote-controlled, it is the speed controller which

has first to detect the programmed neutral position; this position sits

approx. in the centre on the control lever of your transmitter unit. Once

the speed controller has correctly detected said position, as a con-

firmation the control LED starts blinking for a ten times term. Only

then one may consider the speed controller as in state of readiness;

and now the motor power can be controlled for both senses of direc-

tion via the control lever.

18.2 How to programme the speed controller

Continue paying your attention to the control LED. For the correct ad-

justment of the control lever on the transmitter, set the shift controller

in neutral position; slide then the control lever into that position at

which you wish the motor to be "off". As a confirmation, lightly press

the programming key "4" on the speed controller (refer to next para-

graph). Do not move the control lever on the transmitter. Now, the

speed controller detects the neutral position, and the control LED

starts its ten times blinking.

Immediately after the blinking activity has started, slide the control

lever into the position for maximum "forward" speed; secure the lever

at this point. Do not move it. Even after the 10th blinking, the control

LED remains dark. As soon as the transmitter of your RC equipment

has detected the pulse corresponding to the maximum speed, the

control LED starts blinking again for a ten times term.

Immediately after the start of this blinking activity move the control

lever from the position "forward" directly to the position provided for

maximum "reverse" speed; secure the lever at this position. Again,

after the 10th blinking the control LED remains dark. Once the

transmitter of the RC unit has detected that pulse responsible for the

maximum speed, the control LED starts blinking again.

This signifies that the programming procedure of the speed controller

has been completed. The transmitter of the RC unit has successfully

detected the pulse coming from the speed controller, and now the

complete system is ready to operate.

If an error has been made during the programming procedure, the

system will not accept the new figures. In this case switch your Elec-

trical System off just for a short moment, and then switch it on again;

this procedure will re-activate the previous version of the program-

ming you have chosen for your speed controller. At this stage you

may start again any new programming.

18.3 Options for adjusting the speed controller

The holes at the rear tank cover are identified by numbers and serve

for the following types of adjustments, as there are:

•to "3": By a potentiometer, adjustment of the maximum motor speed

from 50 to 100% for the 1st direction (either forward or reverse, see

below),

•to "4": By key initiating the programming procedure,

•to "5": By potentiometer, adjustment of the maximum motor speed

from 50 to 100% for the 2nd direction (either forward or reverse, see

below).

It is by testing only that you find out which of both holes, either "3" or

"5", is responsible for the maximum motor speed of the direction

“forward” resp. the direction “REVERSE”.

Standard values on the speed controller are adjusted by manufactur-

ers. For any alteration of adjustment use a small screwdriver. Be

careful and don't apply any force!

18.4 Troubleshooting

No blinking activity on the

speed controller after hav-

ing put into operation

The position of the shifting lever

provided for the adjustments does

not correspond to the position of the

programming procedure. Make sure

the shifting lever has been set to neu-

tral position!

For charging the drive battery connect as follows:

•the AMP-plug of the charging cable to that AMP-socket with the

blue/red cable of the cab's switch panel,

•the banana plugs of the charging cable to a charging unit.





Warning: Ensure that the banana plugs for the charging cable do

not touch while the charging cable is connected to the switch

panel.

At normal discharge levels it will take about 12 to 14 hours to re-

charge the battery (at 150 mA). Quick charging should be used only

in exceptional cases at a maximum of 1.5 A for one hour.

OM qÜÉ=êÉãçíÉ=Åçåíêçä=ëóëíÉã=

To operate the speed controller and the steering servo an inexpensive

2/4 channel system will be sufficient. Should you intend installing

additional electrical accessories, such as e.g. Diesel Engine Sound,

Art.-No. 193, for an RC equipment we would recommend a 2/4 chan-

nel unit, offering the installation of retrofit sets for the operation of

switching functions. Please ask your dealer for advice. Follow the in-

structions provided by the RC system manufacturer when installing

the receiver unit.

Should you don't wish the receiver voltage of your radio unit being

supplied via an independent battery, you may connect it to your 12V

truck battery. For this purpose you have to solder the wires of the re-

ceiver battery onto the switch panel (see ill. 20).

Note: By the installed voltage regulator (as a series fitting) the bat-

tery voltage of 12V on the switch panel is now automatically being

reduced to 5 volts.

Attention: This special electrical equipment making part of our pro-

duction line "Complete Kits" will not fit any other electrical accessory

offered within the range of WEDICO System-Kits.

Should you once wish to extend your "Complete Kit" by

one or the

other electric accessory you will have to exchange this electrical sys-

tem. WEDICO offers you the following Electrical Systems:

•Art.-No. 783: The information to the semi-

trailer is transmitted via a

multi-frequency system. When adding an Infrared System (Art.-

Nr.

790 as transmitter, and Art.-

No. 791 as receiver), you may drive

your prime mover with any of a semi-trailer -

it does not depend on

the type of Electrical System your truck is equipped with.

•Art.-No. 796: The information is serially tra

nsmitted via one data

line only inside the prime mover. The information to the semi-

trailer

is transmitted via an Infrared Diode (transmitter).

Except these electrical components, all other accessories (for stan-

dard chassis) being offered within our programme WEDICO System-
