Here are a few tips for assembling and using the models. Read them carefully before starting.
A. Place the tires on the wheels
A
Place a tire over each of the four wheels before you build the first model.
B. The peg remover The kit includes a yellow tool called the peg remover. End A of the peg remover makes it easy to remove anchor pins from the frames.
C. Batteries in IR remote control unit Open the battery compartment by unscrewing the screw and removing the cover. Insert two batteries, paying attention to the polarity indicated in the compartment and on the batteries. Close the compartment again and reinsert the screw to secure it.
B
A
D. Batteries in IR battery box Insert the batteries according to their indicated plusminus polarity. Close the compartment with the cover.
To control a model, turn on both the motor unit and the remote control unit by moving their switches from the “off” position (0) to any of the four channels (1–4). The motor unit and the remote control must be set to the same channel to communicate. The channels enable you to use up to four models (sold separately) at the same time in the same space. One set of buttons on the IR remote control unit drives the vehicle forward and backward. The second set of buttons controls the vehicle’s steering. The third set of buttons control the “action” of the vehicle, such as lifting the bucket on the dump truck. The remote control works best indoors because sunlight interferes with the infrared signals and reduces the range of the remote control. These models are intended for indoor use.

IMPORTANT!
Make sure your remote control unit and your motor unit are both set to the same channel (1–4) or else they will not work. When the remote control and motor are not in use, turn them off by setting their switches to “0” so as to not drain the batteries.

Heavy-Duty Machines to Move the Earth Construction vehicles are designed for building structures such as buildings, bridges, and roads. This often involves moving large quantities of soil or rock and heavy building materials. Without construction vehicles, structures such as the Hoover Dam and the Empire State Building might not have ever been built. Each construction vehicle looks and functions differently, because they are built to accomplish specific tasks. However, they are able to accomplish their tasks with ease because they all use physics to their advantage!

There are six classical simple machines as originally defined by Renaissance scientists: the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw. On the Check It Out pages, there are examples of simple machines that can be found in construction vehicles. Can you find more examples in the models you build?

MECH AN ICA L ADVA NTAGE The efficiency with which a simple machine amplifies a force is measured through its mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the input force to the output force . The mechanical advantage of a complex machine can be found by multiplying the mechanical advantages of the simple machine s that make up the complex machine .

Weight
machines, there is often a trade-off between force and distance. Inclined planes
are used at construction sites to make it easier to move materials around.
THE WEDGE: A BULLDOZE R’S BLADE
A bulldozer is equipped with a large metal plate on its front, known as a blade. It is used to move large quantities of dirt or rocks. The blade is an example of a wedge, another type of simple machine that works like a portable inclined plane. There are different types of bulldozer blades. The straight blade (“S blade”) is very shallow and is used for fine grading. A universal blade (“U blade”) is tall and very curved so that it can carry more material. There are also blades that have a combination of the properties of U and S blades (“SU blades”).

GEARS VS. HYDRAULIC S Motor
In the models in this kit, many gears are used. Gears are wheels with meshing teeth on them that allow the turning motion of one wheel to be transferred to another wheel. When gears of different sizes are used, mechanical advantage can be gained.
B
C B A
A Motor
Motor C
In the real-life versions of the construction vehicles in this kit, hydraulic systems are often used instead of the gears. A hydraulic system uses a liquid under pressure inside tubes and pistons to transmit forces from one place to another, and also to gain mechanical advantage. Hydraulic machines consist of three parts: A pump driven by a motor that creates the pressure in the fluid; a system of valves and tubes; and an actuator, or an output that controls the machinery. Hydraulic machines can take relatively small torques and turn them into very large torques — which comes in handy in heavyduty construction equipment.
EXPERIMENT 2
Testing the backhoe’s torque HERE’S HOW Set up a ramp that the backhoe can drive up using books, a board, and other objects. Drive the backhoe up the ramp. Repeat this several times, increasing the angle (slope) of the ramp each time. How does the speed of the backhoe change as the slope of the ramp gets steeper?

CHECK IT OUT THE SCREW
Concrete and Cement On this page, you can learn about two of the most important building materials that are manipulated by heavy construction equipment.
Inside the drum of a concrete tra nsport truck is a spiral blade that when rotated on e way, pushes the liquid concre te deeper into th e drum. But, when the drum is rotated in the op posite direction, it push es the concrete ou t of the drum. The blade acts lik e an Archimedes ’ screw. A screw is just an inclined plane th at has been twisted arou nd an axis!
CONCRETE TRANSPORT Concrete transport trucks are made to transport and mix concrete while the vehicle is traveling to a construction site. They can be filled with dry materials and water, or concrete that has already been mixed at a plant. The concrete mixing truck keeps the concrete liquid by continuously mixing the concrete in the rotating drum.
CONCRETE
CEM ENT
Concrete is a mixture of a “coarse aggregate,” water, and cement that hardens over time. The aggregate portion is made of large chunks of materials, generally gravel along with finer materials such as sand.
Cement binds materials together to form one cohe sive material. There are two categories of ceme nt: hydraulic and non-hydraulic cement. Non-hydraulic cement will not set under wet or underwater conditions beca use it needs to react with carbon dioxide in the air to harde n. However, hydraulic cement can set in water, beca use the cement react s with water, forming mineral hydr ates that don’t dissolve well in water. The most comm on type of cement is a non-hydraulic cement called Portland Cement.

CHECK IT OUT
Levers and Pulleys Cranes are often equipped with pulleys and cables that are used to lift and lower materials and move them horizontally. The pulleys in a crane minimize the amount of work needed to lift the object off the ground. In order to lift large loads, a crane must also have a counter balancing load, so that the crane does not tip over. The load and balancing load act as a lever.

Point of application of force Point of application of the load
PU LLE Y A pulley is wheel on a fixed axle that is designed to support the moveme nt of a cable, rope, belt, or chain. Pulleys are used to change the direction of a force or decrease the effort needed to lift a load. If you hang an object by one string (a), that string has to support all of the weight of the object. But if use more than one string (b), the weight is split evenly between the two strings. This is how pulleys make lifting objects easier (c).

A road grader is a large construction vehicle with a long blade that is used to create surfaces with a specified slope during a process called grading. A Motor Grading is important for the foundations of buildings, railroads, and landscapes. Grading allows civil engineers to direct the way that water, from rain or irrigation, flows off a piece of land. The grader’s purpose is to refine the grading. The rough grading is performed by other construction vehicles such as bulldozers or skid-steer loaders.
