INSTALLING THE TRUCK ANTENNA
See Figures 2 - 3.
The truck antenna must be installed before use. The
antenna fits into a tube on the truck’s chassis.
To install the antenna, the truck body must be removed.
Place the truck on a flat, stable surface.
Pull out the four pins that secure the truck body and
set them aside.
The antenna wire is threaded through the hole on the
truck body. Remove the truck body.
Slide the wire cover back toward the chassis to take
out some of the slack in the antenna wire. You can tie
a loose knot near the top of the antenna wire to secure
the wire cover. Do not pull on the antenna wire where it
is attached to the chassis.
Insert the antenna and its wire into the antenna tube on
the chassis, making sure it is secure.
To replace the truck body:
Thread the antenna through the hole in the truck body.
Position the truck body over the four mounting posts
on the chassis.
Reinstall the four pins that hold the truck body, making
sure the pins are securely in place before operation.
NOTE:
Never operate the truck while the body is re-
moved. Doing so may cause damage to the chassis or
other internal parts.
