Setup

These components need to be attached to the main model. Refer to the product packaging images for guidance on their correct placement. The parts are designed to clip easily into position.
Operating Instructions
The Liebherr Articulated Road Loader L 574 features several interactive elements for realistic play:
- Articulated Steering: The vehicle is designed with articulated steering, allowing it to make turns and maneuver in various play environments. Simply turn the front section relative to the rear section to steer.
- Front Loader Operation: The large front loader can be raised, lowered, and tilted. Utilize the red levers and switches located on the loader arm to control its movement. One lever typically controls the vertical movement of the arm, while another controls the tilting action of the bucket. Practice may be required to master the precise movements. The loader arm can be locked into a raised position when not in use.
- Engine Access: The hood of the loader can be opened to reveal a detailed view of the engine block, adding to the realistic play experience.
