Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Bruder 03560 Scania R-Series Garbage Truck. This highly detailed toy truck offers a realistic play experience with various functional components. This manual provides essential information for setup, operation, and maintenance to ensure long-lasting enjoyment.
Important Safety Information
WARNING: Choking Hazard - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Recommended age: Suitable from 4 years upwards for playing indoors and outdoors.
Setup
The Bruder 03560 Scania R-Series Garbage Truck comes largely pre-assembled. No complex assembly is required. Ensure all components are securely attached before play.
Driver's Cabin Features:
- The driver's cabin features foldable wing mirrors. Gently fold them out for play and in for storage.
- The front screen is made of transparent and unbreakable polycarbonate.
- The doors of the cabin can be opened to place Bruder figures inside.
- A roof opening is provided for an optional Light & Sound Module (item no. 02801 - not included).
Waste Bins:
The truck is compatible with the dustbin set (3 small bins, 1 large bin item no. 026067 - not included). These bins are essential for the loading mechanism.
Operating Instructions
The Scania R-Series Garbage Truck features a realistic rear-loading mechanism for waste collection and disposal.
1. Loading Waste Bins:
Position the waste bins into the support console located at the rear of the truck. The lifting mechanism is designed to securely hold the bins.

Image: Two waste bins, yellow and blue, are shown attached to the rear lifting unit, prepared for the emptying process.
2. Emptying and Compacting Waste:
Once the bins are in place, activate the lifting mechanism to empty the waste into the trough. A rotating wheel mechanism then pulls the waste into the crushing mechanism, compressing it and transporting it into the waste pit. An inspection window allows observation of this process.

3. Unloading Refuse:
To tip out the collected refuse, use the upper handle mounted on the refuse bunker. Turning this handle moves the refuse backwards by means of discharge slides, past the raised loading and unloading unit, and transports it to the outside.
