Disassembly

1) Turn the model upside down and place in a soft, foam-like cradle.

2) Remove the four small screws from the underside of the trailer chassis (black piece), and two screws from the brown chassis.

3) Be careful when separating the floor from the trailer body as very fine LED wires pass through the corridor between driver's cab and trailer and may be damaged.

4) Next, remove the four screws from the underside of the guard's compartment floor.

5) The guard's compartment floor (shorter brown floor with weight) is then removed, to make room for the decoder, speaker and stay alive.

Installation

6) The model comes with an 8 pin socket for a decoder. Plug the decoder in, but align the grey decoder wire with the white mark on the socket (usually the orange wire would align with the white mark).

7) Carefully package the decoder, insulated 8 pin plug/socket, PowerPack Mini and speaker in the guard's compartment space.

8) Refit everything ensuring any live connections are carefully insulated. Reassemble model and test.
