LEGO 60401 Construction Steamroller 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO City Great Vehicles set "Construction Steamroller".

Make new roads for the great vehicles of LEGO City with the coolest steamroller in town. This mighty road machine has large chunky tires for ultimate grip and a big shiny drum for powerful road rolling. So put on your hard hat, hop aboard and roll like a pro. Let's go, construction hero!

On the box cover, the construction worker is steamrolling the sandy foundation for a new street in LEGO City. The brown quartz sand surrounding the steamroller is still piled up in heaps, a rather messy sight! But behind the machine, the huge grey rolling drum has already created a smooth surface, preparing everything for the asphalt layer. The body of the steamroller is black and yellow, and the tires and the open driver's cab are black. The construction worker is operating the steamroller with a smile on his face, he clearly is a professional who knows what he is doing. The construction site is fenced in with a corrugated iron fence and a barrier fence. There is a construction site warning sign at the back, informing road users of the works. In the background, there is an apartment building and a skyscraper against a pale blue and yellow sky. Let's start building!

Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!

The box contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, 2 unnumbered bags, and 3 loose pieces: 3 plastic wheels 5x5x2 with 6 holes.

Carefully open all bags. Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

First, we will build the construction worker Minifigure.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 bright orange pair of legs,

and 1 vibrant yellow, medium stone grey and dark azure blue upper part of the body.

Put the upper body on the legs. Make sure that the arms and toes are pointing in the same direction.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 bright red hard hat,

and 1 bright yellow Minifigure head.

Put the head on the body.

Put the hard hat on top.

Find 1 mud grey hairpiece with short straight hair and sideburns.

When the construction worker is not on the job, you can exchange the hard hat for the hairpiece. Make sure that the surroundings are safe before taking off the hard hat! Remember: safety first!

Find 1 silver metallic shovel.

Snap the handle into the Minifigure's hand, shovel part to the bottom.

The construction worker Minifigure is finished! Great job! He is wearing orange work pants, blue gloves, a grey shirt and a bright yellow sleeveless safety vest on top. The safety vest is a button-up vest with a V-neck and horizontal reflective stripes. He is wearing safety goggles, and he has dirt smudges all over his face, but he is smiling nonetheless. It seems like he really enjoys his job!

Next, we will build the construction steamroller.

If done correctly, this piece is mounted to the right of the downwards ladder at the front side surface, its 2 remaining connectors sticking out towards the front.

Find another black quadruple connector 3m with cross hole.

First, turn the steamroller from left to right. Now, the smooth sloped side with rear bumper is to the right, and the driver's cabin is on the left.

Insert 2 connectors of the current piece from the front into the 2 leftmost holes of the technic beam 7m at the front, 2 connectors sticking out towards the front.

and 1 medium stone grey technic beam 3m with 2 connectors.

Put the wheel 5x5x2 flat on the table. Its middle section has two different sides: one is flat with holes, and the other one has a protruding middle ring with holes. Make sure that the flat side with holes is to the top.

Put the technic beam 3m from the top on the previous piece by inserting its connectors into 2 holes that are opposite of each other.

Find 1 black connector peg 2m with middle ring.

Insert it from the top into the round hole at the top surface of the previous piece, 1/2 sticking out towards the top.

Find another dark stone grey plastic wheel 5x5x2 with 6 round holes.

Hold it so that its protruding middle ring is to the bottom.

To mount it, insert the connector peg from the previous step into the middle hole of the wheel.

Next, we will build 2 connecting axles.

Collect the following 4 pieces:

2 black connector pegs 2m with middle ring,

and 2 bright red tubes 2m with middle slot.

Hold 1 tube horizontally, and insert 1 connector peg from the right into the right hole, 1/2 protruding to the right.

Repeat with the 2 remaining pieces.

Find another 2 black connector pegs 2m with middle ring.

Insert them into the left holes of the 2 tubes.

The 2 connecting axles are finished! Insert 1 from the top into one of the empty holes of the topmost wheel, tube and 1 connector sticking out towards the top.

Insert the other one from the top into the hole opposite of the first connecting axle, again tube and 1 connector sticking out to the top.

Turn it so that the side with the protruding middle ring is to the top.

Lower the wheel centered on the 2 empty connectors of the connecting axles, making sure that the outer diameters of all wheels are flush.

Find 2 medium stone grey connector pegs 2m with middle ring.

Flip the rolling drum on its side so that the smooth round side is touching the table. Make sure it doesn't roll away from you!

Insert 1 connector peg from the right into the middle hole on the right side, 1/2 sticking out towards the right.

Repeat symmetrically on the left.

The rolling drum is finished! Well done! Turn it vertically so that the connectors are pointing to the front and back. Put it behind the technic beam 7m that is protruding to the left. Insert the front connector from the back into the third hole from the left, rolling drum towards the back.

Find 1 bright yellow technic beam 7m.

Turn the steamroller from left to right again so that the rolling drum is to the right and the smooth sloped vehicle rear is to the left.

Hold the technic beam horizontally, holes running from front to back, and put it on the connector of the rolling drum and the two connectors to the right of the downward ladder. Make sure that the beam's 2 rightmost holes remain empty.

Find 2 bright red connector pegs 1m with knob.

Insert 1 from the front into the previous piece's second hole from the right.

2 bright yellow wide rims with hole and spokes,

and 2 black wide off-road tires.

Put the rims into the tires.

The 2 rear wheels are finished! Snap the wheels on the 2 remaining connectors pointing to the front and back. These connectors are below the smooth sloped vehicle rear.

Find 2 bright yellow flat tiles 1x6. (These pieces are printed.)

Mount them upright horizontally on the 2 technic beams 7m that are holding the rolling drum. Make sure they are centered on the technic beams.

These pieces are printed with black welding seams and rivets as well as caution flags with 2 bold black stripes on the left and right sides.

You have finished building the entire set! Fantastic job! Now it is time to get your hands dirty and start your first steamrolling job: make sure your worker is wearing safety gear. Then, shovel up the material, seat the construction worker in the steamroller, and start rolling! Make sure to observe the necessary safety measures and take great care when flattening the future road surfaces. LEGO City needs impeccable streets! Full steam ahead!

Enjoy!
