Operating (Handling and Display)
This diecast model is primarily for static display. When handling, always grasp the main body of the truck and trailer. Avoid holding by delicate parts such as mirrors, antennas, or landing gear, as these can be fragile.
- Movement: While the wheels are functional, the model is not designed for extensive play. Roll gently on smooth surfaces if repositioning.
- Articulation: The truck and trailer are designed to articulate at the fifth wheel connection, allowing for realistic posing.

Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your diecast model, follow these care instructions:
