5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Scania R-Series Truck Operation

• Cab Access: The truck's cab doors can be opened to place figures inside. The outside mirrors are foldable.
• Engine Access: The hood of the truck can be opened to reveal a detailed engine compartment.
• Container Detachment: To detach the container, locate the release mechanism (often a lever or switch) on the chassis. Activate it and carefully swing down the support outriggers located beneath the container. Once the outriggers are stable, the truck can drive away, leaving the container freestanding.

• Pallet Handling: Carefully slide the forks under a pallet. Use the lifting mast to raise the pallet. The tilt function allows for slight angle adjustments to secure the load.
• Loading/Unloading Container: Position the forklift in front of the container's open rear doors. Use the lifting and tilting functions to place or retrieve pallets from inside the container.
