STEP 88-1

Get the chassis you assembled in the

previous stages. Place the rear right

air intake duct (88A) and rear left air

intake duct (88C) on the rear section

of the chassis, so as to identify which

side each duct goes. To facilitate this,

look at the position of the parts in the

photo, with the hole in the inner corner

facing upwards and towards the centre

of the chassis.

STEP 88-3

Insert the rear left air intake duct (88C)

into the slot in the main chassis (38A).

Insert the linchpin on the panel into

the hole in the inner corner of the air

intake duct, as you did in the previous

step.

STEP 88-2

Turn the chassis over and insert the

rear right air intake duct (88A) into its

slot in the main chassis (38A). Insert the

linchpin on the panel into the hole in

the inner corner of the air intake duct,

ensuring that it faces the same way as

in the photo.

STEP 89-6

Get the transmission lines (88G),

provided with the previous stage.

Place the rectangular side in its

housing over the rear transmission

subframe (71A), so that the two

linchpins in the housing are aligned

with the holes in the subframe. The

correct position can be determined

by the different sized linchpins. Press

the transmission lines rmly onto the

Insert the rear cooling

system inlet hose (88E) into

the hole in the narrow end

of the left side of the right

rear air intake cover (88B),

as shown in the photo.

Then insert the rear cooling

system inlet hose 2 (88F)

into the hole in the wider

end.

STEP 90-2

Find the rear cooling system hoses (86A), the

two hoses with the fake connectors on the

ends. The one starting from the circular box

goes into the left hole in the back of the rear

left air intake duct cover (88D), number 1 in

the photo. The second goes into the right hole,

number 2.

STEP 90-1

Place the rear left air intake duct

cover (88D) in its housing on

the rear chassis frame (39A). To

position it correctly, make sure

that the side with two holes

is facing outwards (as shown

in the photo), and that the

side with three holes is facing

inwards. Insert the two linchpins

on the inside of the cover into

the protrusions on the base, by

applying a little pressure.
