Start assembling the door hinges. For this purpose press the pins

827 into the holes of the door hinges 825, 823, 824 and 826. Please

note the different sequence on the left and the right side. Then lay

the noses of the door hinges 823 and 824 into the clamping device of

the inside door coating 822.

Press both outer holes of the side windows 828 (remove first the foil

on both sides) onto the pins of the inside door coating. Then lay the

door lock 472 into the inside door coating, press the mirror support

470 into the holes of the doors 820 and 821 as well as into the holes

of the side windows and the inside door coating. Tighten the mirror

supports using screws 21. Lay as well the lock guides 469 into the

recessed door holes and the door locks and fix them with screws 21.

Finally press the clips 282 into the upper bores of the doors; the side

windows are thereby additionally fixed.

Prepare both front panels 829 and 830 for the attachment of the

doors. For this purpose cut with one of the self-cutting screws 10

threadings into the bores of the front panels (use some grease or va-

seline). Now lay the prepared doors from outside onto the door fra-

mes of the front panels and fix the door hinges with screws 10 and

serrated washers 15 onto the front panels. It is important to adjust

the doors before you finally tighten them. The additional fixing points

of the upper door hinges serve for mounting the dashboard.

5.1 Air filter

Press both air tubes 833 into the holes of the air filters 831 and 832.

Then add the air filters onto the front units with bushings 26, washers

13 and screws 3. Now press the air tubes into the holes of the front

units.

5.2 Exhaust system

For the attachment of the exhaust system slide each one square nut

12 into the recesses of the exhaust caps 96. Slide then the exhaust

caps that way into the mufflers 93 that the square nuts lay behind the

holes. From top insert the exhaust tail pipes 95 that way that the

point shows frontwards when adding the exhaust system to the front

units. Press the exhaust tail pipes into the exhaust caps until they

catch, then clamp them using studs 16. By the same way add the

exhaust manifolds 483 (the longer side of the manifold has to be fi-

xed inside the exhaust cap 96).

Afterwards slide each one bushing 26 and one washer 13 onto the

studs. With the studs insert the exhaust systems laterally through the

rear holes of the front units; then fix them with nuts M3. Slide the ex-

haust shields 372 over the mufflers 93, insert the fixing caps 383 and

clamp the shields on. One may even increase the wedging effect of

the shields by careful squeezing.

5.3 Locks for the hood

Now use screws 114 and washers 24 to attach both locking devices

834 onto the lower shields of the front units.

6.1 Horns

The horns 707 are fitted with bushings 26 and washers 13 and then

affixed, through the holes provided in the roof 1263, using screws 4,

nuts M3 and serrated washers 15.

6.2 Roof lamps

Install a bulb 713 in each of the roof lamps 706, threading the leads

through the lamp housings first. The cables are easier to thread if

you twist the two conductors together and bend the ends slightly.

Pointed tweezers can help in pulling the cable through. Do not pull

the bulbs too far into the lamp housings; the bulbs should protrude by

2 to 3 mm. After the roof lamp lenses 289 have been pressed onto

the lamp housings, the housings are inserted in the holes in the roof

and secured with nuts 19.

The bulb leads and the red/black cable from the switch panel are at-

tached to the terminal strip - see Section 23.3 and ill. 23. Use adhe-

sive pads 655 to affix the terminal strip under the roof so that the

cables are not visible inside the cab.

Fix the seat backs 728 with screws 1and nuts M3 onto the seat so-

ckets 729. Then press the swing seats 730 onto the seat sockets

and fix the complete seat units with screws 5onto the floor plate

835..

U^ëëÉãÄäó=çÑ=íÜÉ=Å~Ä=

Lay the right and the left front units together and fix them with each

other underneath the windows with screws 2, two serrated washers

15 and nuts M3. Lay then the roof 837 onto both front units and

screw it up with four screws 111 and serrated washers 15. Make su-

re that along the full line the distance between roof and front parts

has to be the same. Afterwards set the floor plate from underneath

onto the front parts and fix it with countersunk screws 355, serrated

washers 15 and nuts M3.

Pin the centre strut 838 from underneath into the recess of the roof

and lay the centre strut with the inclined sides against the front parts.

Lay both front screens 839 into the lateral groove of the centre strut

as well as into the left and the right groove of the roof. Make sure

that the screens catch the projected rest of the front units.

Take now the steering wheel 56 and press it onto the pin of the

switch 498. The proper switch has then to be fixed onto the dashbo-

ard with screw 1. Remove the decals from their sheet 841 and apply

them on the left and right side of the dashboard. Lay then the dash-

board from inside against the front parts and fix it onto the door hin-

ges with screws 2, serrated washers 15 and nuts M3. When correctly

assembled, the fore edge of the dashboard presses the centre strut

and the front screens against the front units.

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 23 before you begin assembling the compo-

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

will be connected by cable.

10.1 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 le-

ver 42 have been inserted.





Before tightening down the screws 5ensure that the spring sets

are not under tension and can move freely.

10.2 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.

Note!

Sometimes it happens that the

chromed rims sit too tightly on

the axle (work tolerance);

in this case remove a bit the

chrome inside the rims, and light-

ly grease the running

surface (e.g. using Vaseline).

11.1 Mounting the fifth-wheel components

Attach the spring 74 to the link lever 44 with a screw 1and M3 nut. Insert the

bar 72 into the opening from above, securing it from below 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 si-

de 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 re-

taining 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. 9).

11.2 Mounting the rear bumper assembly

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

fix 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 1and 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 circuit!

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.

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, ser-

rated 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 to-

ward the wheel.





The ribbon cable with the two lamp PCBs should be mounted when atta-

ching 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 diffe-

rential.





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 dif-

ferential!

12.4 Mounting the wheels

Once you have mounted the drive axle tyres 1160 on the rims 52 the wheels

are mounted on the shaft, with the wheel nuts facing one another 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.

The wiring diagram shows the cable connections for the individual

electrical components

23.1 Mounting the switching panel and lamp PCBs

The switch panel is inserted into the tail door of the Sleeper as desc-

ribed in Section 19. 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.

23.2 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 con-

sumption. 3-volt bulbs use far less power than 12-volt bulbs in relati-

on 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.

23.3 Wiring the roof lamps

The bulb leads and the red and black cables from the switch panel are

attached at the screw terminal strip for the roof lamps. Then attach

the terminal strip under the roof as described in Section 6.





Be careful when clipping off the solder pins at the terminal strip as

there is a danger of shorts!

23.4 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.

23.5 Wiring at the front lamp PCB

(twin 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.

23.6 Wiring the blinker switch

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

clamp-type connector (see therefore ill. 23a 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. 16.

23.7 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 23.4. 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).

23.8 Starting the electrical system (see switches, ill. 23b)

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.

OQ 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 24.2

"programming").

24.1 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.

24.2 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.

24.3 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!

24.4 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 neutral position!

Motor does not react at all

Inadequate wire connections;

receiver voltage below 3 V;

main NiCads too low (below 8 V)

OR `Ü~êÖáåÖ=íÜÉ=ÇêáîÉ=Ä~ííÉêó=

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.

OS 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 ad-

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

Art.-No. 189, 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. 26).

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.

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 seri

ally transmitted 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-

Kits will fit your truck and/or semi-trailer and may be installed.
