O `çãéçåéåíë=~íí~åüéç=íç=íüé=ñê~ãé=. Assembly of the axle carriers Mount the axle carriers 7 inside onto the frame with screws and nuts M. You will find the upper column of bores sloped; once the axle carriers are attached, the rear part of the frame is laying lower than the front part.. Assembly of the landing gear Before attaching the landing gear place both cables of the electrical equipment between shaft and frame. 5 8 Fix the landing gear wheels 78 with screws 5, washers and nuts M onto both sides of the strut 77. Pin a spring 76 onto the landing gear lever 75 and insert the unit into the centre bore of the landing gear strut 77. Then lead the lever through the lateral flattening of the frame. Insert the shaft 7 into the lateral bore of the frame; slide on -one after the other- one spring 7, the landing gear strut and the second spring 7. Secure the shaft on both sides using the retaining washer 5. Fix the carrier plate 79 underneath the frame only after having screwed the Tarp-top base to these holes!. Assembly of the kingpin When changing the standard fifthwheel of your prime mover to the Aluminium Fifthwheel, Art.-No. 0: This Tarp-top Kit does include the necessary fitting items: King pin 6 for aluminium fifthwheel with washer 5 and countersunk screw 67. 7 7 5 7 7 Press one nut M into the hexagonal slot on the carrier plate 79 and screw up the kingpin 80 using screws 5. Once you have screwed the Tarp-top base onto the chassis frame (see point 6.), fix then with countersunk screws 65 and nuts M the carrier plate underneath the frame. Before fixing the carrier plate lead both cables of the electrical system between the carrier plate and the frame (see chapter 7.). 75 B-6-79 65 5 80 65 5 6 67 78 77 Assembly of the kingpin for Aluminium Fifthwheel 76 78 --- Nut M 6 Screw M x 8 Screw M x 6 5 Screw M x 0 Washer. 5 Retaining washer. 65 Countersunk screw M x 7 Shaft for fifthwheel 7 Axle carrier, sloped 7 Spring for landing gear 75 Landing gear lever 76 Coil spring for lever 77 Landing gear strut 78 Landing gear wheel 79 Carrier plate for kingpin 80 Kingpin, standard fifthwheel 8 Frame, semi-trailer 7mm, unpainted 5 Washer. large 6 Kingpin for metal fifthwheel 67 Countersunk screw M x 6 6-e.DOC / K-Auf Page

Mounting the mud guards The mud guard support 75 marked by an "X" has to be mounted onto the right-hand side (direction of traffic), while the bracket marked "O" 76 onto the left-hand side (direction of traffic). First attach to these supports the mud flaps 77 and the mud guards 7 with each four screws and nuts 09. Then use screws 6, serrated washers 5, bushing 6, two washers and M nut to attach the supports to the rear holes on the axle carriers.. Mounting the spring set with axle Hang both long spring leaves with their open ends to the bushing and use a screw, bushing 6, washer and M nut to screw the closed ends to the axle carrier. Press one each M nut into the hexagonal recess on the lower spring carrier. The axle 68 can now be mounted together with the spring carriers, one medium spring leaf each, a short spring leaf and screws. Ensure that the sides of the spring carrier marked by an "A" are mounted towards the wheel. Mount the wheels accordingly to chapter. before you start tightening the screws. Please ensure that the spring sets are not under tension and can move freely. The assembly of the fore rear axle has to be done in the same sense but without the mudguards.. Mounting the wheels Note: Sometimes it happens that the chromed rims sit too tightly on the axle (work tolerance); in this case remove a bit the chrome inside the rims, and lightly grease the running surface (e.g. using Vaseline). Once you have mounted the tyres 5 onto the rims 5, add the wheels onto the shaft, with the wheel nuts facing towards each other and the chromed rims towards the outside; secure with washer 0 and screw 7. The wheels should turn easily but there should not be too much play. 9 Bulb for blinker B-6- Bulb for rear light Bulb for brake light 9 Inserting the bulbs 7 0 9 57 9 57 7 --- Nut M Screw M x 8 7 Bumper, rear 57 Screw M x 0 0 Bumper bracket Note!

Now affix the assembled caps to the rear bumper 7 using one each screw 57 and M nut. From the rear insert the lenses into the bumper: outwards the blinker lenses, inwards the rear light lenses. Use screws and nuts M to fix the bumper bracket 0 onto the bumper. Take particular care that the bulb cables are not clamped between the bumper and the bracket; this could cause a short circuit! 6-e.DOC / K-Auf Page

Assembly of drop panel with eyelet Fix both fore corner stakes 58 with screws onto the floor, then mount the drop panel with eyelet 8. From the attached plastic tube cut off 6 stop sleeves, each of approx. mm length. Accordingly to the left top illustration slide one each of the hooks 69 and into the lower eyelets on the drop panel. In order to avoid a lateral gliding out of the hooks when opening the drop panels, add one stop sleeve between the pairs of eyelets on each drop side. Then insert into the upper holes on the drop panel one each fixing clip 8; therein press now the hooks. The assembly of the upper hooks 69 and -at a later stage of assembly they will serve for fixing the tarpaulin- has to be done by the same sense but turned by 80. Set the drop panel between the corner stakes and slide the lower hooks into those catching holes therefore provided. The upper hooks serve to stop the drop panel; slide them into the lateral slots. 5. Assembly of drop panels with hinge pins For the assembly of the upper hooks 69 and, which serve for securing the tarpaulin, please refer to chapter 5.. Then insert one hinge pin 90 (see illustration on the right bottom side) through the lower eyelets of the drop panel 6 and set the drop panel behind one of the premounted corner stakes. Behind this unit add a side stake and fix it onto the floor using screw. Along the sides mount then all other drop panels, one by one, in the same manner; finally fix one drop panel between the rear corner stakes. 58 6 6 6 69 8 6 90 B-6- Screw M x 8 8 Side stake, tarp-top body 58 Corner stake, tarp-top body 6 Drop panel, white 6 Stop sleeve (to be cut off the plastic tube 50mm 69 Hook long -lh- Hook long -rh- 6 8 Fixing clip 8 Drop panel notched, white Base for tarp-top semi trailer 90 Hinge pin for drop panel, short 6-e.DOC / K-Auf Page
Assembling all sections ill. 6 S ^ëëéãääáåö=~ää=ëéåíáçåë= 6. Attachment of floor and bumper Use screw and nuts M to mount the base of the tarp-top body onto the frame. Thereby both rear screws fix at the same time the support with the bumper. 6. Attachment of the support for circuit board Use two double-sided adhesive tapes 655 to fix the support 7 underneath the frame (see ill. 7). 6. Assembly of bows with tarpaulin On both upper narrow sides of the tarpaulin you find loops through which you have to insert the fore and the rear roof bows. Set the bows into the mm holes on the stakes until catching. Those loops you find on the lower border of the tarpaulin serve for stretching the tarp; hang them into the hooks on the drop panel. 655 655 7 B-6-5 8 --- Nut M 8 Screw M x 8 6 Roof bow Tarpaulin for tarp-top semi trailer 655 Adhesive pad, double-sided 7 PCB support, small 6-e.DOC / K-Auf Page 5

Connection to the circuit board After having connected the blinkers and the rear lights accordingly to the drawing, clip the circuit board into the corresponding support. Embed both cables with the plugs underneath the frame and fix them using insulating tape. Surplus cable has to be rolled up and fixed under the carrier of the kingpin. 7.
