Racing Team 18 Wheeler
(600-4156)                 Using The Trailer          Faxback Doc. # 18785

You can use the tractor to pull the supplied trailer.

Connecting/Disconnecting the Trailer

NOTE:  The trailer is easier to connect to the tractor if both are on the
       same level surface.

       If you have enough driving skill, you can back the tractor up onto
       the trailer using the transmitter (see "Driving the Tractor,"
       Faxback Doc. # 18782).  The load pin on the front of the trailer 
       automatically locks into the load pad on the back of the tractor.

       To connect the tractor and trailer manually, simply push the front
       of the trailer forward onto the load pad on the back of the tractor
       until you hear a click.

       To drive the tractor away from the trailer, press and hold down the
       trailer disconnect button on the front of the transmitter until you
       hear a click, drive the tractor forward to disconnect it, then
       release the button.  Or, to manually disconnect the trailer from
       the tractor, simply lift the trailer straight up.

Opening/Closing the Trailer's Doors

You can load and unload cargo through the trailer's back doors.

To open the doors, slide up the bar on the right door until it stops, then
pull the doors open.  To close the doors, push both doors closed, then
slide the bar down to latch them.

Removing/Attaching the Trailer's Cover

The trailer's removable cover protects cargo you load into the trailer.
You can remove the cover to quickly convert the trailer to a flatbed
hauler, then use the supplied ramp to load and unload it.

To remove the cover, press and hold down the tab under the doors on the
back of the trailer, then lift off the cover.

To re-attach the cover, slide the tabs on the front of the flatbed into
the holes on the front of the cover, then press down on the back of the
flatbed until it clicks.

Attaching the Ramp to the Flatbed

NOTE:  You must remove the trailer's cover from the flatbed before you can
       attach the ramp.

       Slide the ramp's tab into the slot on the back of the flatbed to
       attach it.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

If the 18 Wheeler does not go in a straight line when you release the
right control lever, adjust the front wheel alignment control on the
bottom of the tractor.

Slide the control toward the right if the 18 Wheeler is pulling to the
left, or toward the left if the 18 Wheeler is pulling to the right.
