If you would like to access the help menu to find out how to use and navigate these instructions, tap with two fingers or press key "H".

Join the lifeguard aboard a beach rescue truck. This cool vehicle is packed with essential emergency gear, including a first aid kit, binoculars and a megaphone. Open the tailgate, don your flippers, grab a surfboard from the roof rack and brave the waves to rescue a surfer in need. Beware of the lurking shark as you head back to shore! Dive into thrilling beach rescue missions with LEGO City.

The box cover shows a thrilling scene at the LEGO City beach. What seems like a rather quiet day judging from the tame clouds on the early evening sky is actually quite a windy business: the waves are perfect for some class A surfing stunts! Of course, the surfer is amid the wild sea, currently floating in mid air on her surfboard! But what makes this scene thrilling is the fact that right this moment, a shark has appeared on the wavy water surface! You can see the shock on the surfer's face as she is trying to figure out what to do in the middle of her stunt. But not to worry: the lifeguard has already rushed to the scene with his beach rescue truck, a sturdy all-terrain vehicle in yellow, black and red that is now parked on the beige sand of the beach directly in front of the water. The lifeguard is hastily running towards his surfboard which is sticking in the sand not far from the dangerous scene. Life buoy in hand, he is ready to rescue the surfer in need and make sure no one gets hurt. Never a dull moment on the beach! But now, let's start building!

Open the box. It contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, 2 numbered bags and 1 sheet with 4 stickers. We will refer to the bag numbers to guide you through the building process. Please ask a sighted person to help you identify the correct bags!

If you would like to attach the stickers of this set yourself, these are your options: since 2 of the 4 stickers included in this set are identical, and the other 2 stickers have unique shapes, you might be able to differentiate the stickers by feeling their outlines and therefore identify them yourself. Alternatively, you can ask a sighted person to orientate the sticker sheet such that the bold red line is on the left edge. Then the largest sticker, which is sticker number 1, is at the back edge (this is the edge furthest away from you). We will refer to both the shape and the location of the sticker on the sticker sheet during the building process. However, of course you can also decide to skip the stickers in the building process for now or ask a sighted person to attach them if you like.

Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Lifeguard Minifigure, the Shark, and the Vehicle Underbody with driver's cabin.

If you like, you can ask a sighted person to sort the pieces by color before you start building. We recommend using trays or bowls. This can make finding the correct pieces easier! However, if you would like to build without brick colors entirely, you can also ignore them or turn them off. There are different ways to sort and organize the bricks and your building process. It's up to you!

First, we will build the Lifeguard Minifigure.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 bright red and bright yellow pair of legs,

and 1 white and bright yellow upper part of the body.

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

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 black flat tile 1x2, (This piece is printed.)

and 1 dark stone grey megaphone with shaft.

Snap one long edge of the flat tile into the Minifigure's left hand. This piece is printed with the unlocked home screen of a smartphone. There are plenty of app icons on the home screen, and at the top of the screen there are icons for the state of charge, Wi-Fi connectivity and cell reception.

Snap the shaft of the megaphone into the Minifigure's right hand, funnel to the front.

The Lifeguard Minifigure is finished! Well done! He is wearing bright red shorts which are likely swimming trunks and a white tank top with a round neckline. The shirt has red hems, and there is a red Star of Life symbol printed on the top left chest area, a symbol often used by medical emergency services. It is a star-shaped icon with 6 rays that have blunt ends. The back of the shirt is printed with a red icon of a rescue buoy. The lifeguard is wearing orange-tinted sunglasses to protect his eyes from sun damage. He is not wearing any shoes, so he better watch out for hot sand!

Next up, we will assemble the shark.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 medium stone grey shark snout with upper jaw,

and 1 medium stone grey shark body 6x9.

Snap the shark snout into the opening on the shark body. Make sure that straight surface is at the top and the sloped surface is at the bottom.

The shark snout is printed with a black pair of eyes on its sides.

The shark is finished! Great job! The animal has a grim-looking expression on its face, and the gigantic jaw with razor-sharp teeth is definitely no joking matter. You better watch the sea closely so you can warn swimmers when the shark appears!

Put 1 sticker on each of the 2 curve tiles from the previous step.

The stickers are yellow and have a red rescue buoy printed on them. The buoy itself is printed with the white outline of a Star of Life just like the lifeguard's shirt. Rescue buoys are floating devices usually made from hollow plastic. A buoy has an oval shape, with one end being a bit pointier and the other end being a bit flatter. It has 2 handles on its long sides and another one on the flat short end so the lifeguard can grab it easily.

The 2 side panels are finished! Well done! Flip 1 towards you so that the smooth curved surface is facing you and the curve is still running towards the left. Mount it on the 4 side knobs pointing to the front.

Repeat symmetrically at the back. Make sure that the curve is towards the left.

Hold it horizontally in front of you, making sure that its long edge that is rather straight is at the top, the short, protruding edge towards the bottom.

Snap the bottom edge into the 2 clasps on the structure we have been building and fold it down towards the back.

The front grille and bumper are finished! Well done! Flip it upright and then mount it centered on the 8 side knobs that are pointing to the left. Make sure that its top edge is flush with the top edge of the structure's left edge. The front grille guard should be in the top half of the sub-part, the flat tile 1x4 at the bottom edge.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 sticker 3x5 with slanted sides, (This is sticker number 1. On the sticker sheet, it is the backmost sticker, so the sticker at the edge furthest away from you, and it is also the largest sticker of the set.)

Mount the hood plate vertically to the left of the windscreen. Make sure that the knobs form a straight column on the plate's right edge.

With this, we have finished building everything from bag 1. Well done! We usually pack a few extra pieces, so if you still have some pieces left there is no need to worry that you forgot something. If you like, you can take a break now and return to the instructions later by skipping to the section introducing bag 2. If you want to continue building right away, simply move on to the next sentence.

Open bag number 2. You can choose to have the bricks sorted by color again. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Surfer Minifigure, and for the second half of the vehicle.

Next up, we will build the Surfer Minifigure.

1 reddish brown hairpiece with side parting and ponytail,

and 1 bright yellow Minifigure head.

Put the head on the body and put the hair on the head.

Find 1 bright yellowish green surfboard with 2 knobs.

Flip it upright so that its pointy end is pointing to the top. Then, snap one of the long side edges into the Minifigure's left hand.

The Surfer Minifigure is finished! Well done! The surfer is wearing a grey neoprene suit with green sleeves. Neoprene suits are perfect for watersports because most of your skin stays dry and the foamy material keeps you warm. This is important when spending long stretches of time in open water. The suit has a front zipper, a green and black collar, and some decorative stitching in black and green on the sides of the torso and at the back. The brand logo is printed on the back of the suit: it is a green circle with an abstract black symbol made up of jagged lines in its center. The surfer's head is printed with two faces: on one side, she is showing a shy smile. On the other side, however, she is clenching her teeth in distress. It really depends on how well she is doing on that surfboard of hers! Her eyebrows are light brown, and her lips are nude-colored. She is wearing black mascara.

Find 4 dark stone grey round bricks 1x1.

Before you mount them, fetch the car structure that we have built so far. Turn it so that it is still oriented horizontally, but now the front grille and bumper are pointing to the right.

We will mount those 4 round bricks next to the 4 corners of the flat tile surface 4x6 in the left half of the structure. Let's start with 1: put it to the left of the stickered side panel that we have mounted at the front surface earlier, but make sure to use the second knob from the front. The frontmost knob stays empty for now.

Repeat symmetrically at the back.

Put another 1 on the leftmost column of the structure on the second knob from the back.

Repeat symmetrically at the front.

Find 2 flame yellowish orange bottom angle plates 1x1 - 1x2 with 2 side knobs.

Put 1 plate 1x2 vertically to the left of the previous piece.

Repeat symmetrically at the front with the 2 remaining pieces. Again, make sure that the clasp tips are to the left and right, not to the front and back.

Next, we will build the tailgate.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 rectangular sticker 1x6, (This is sticker number 3. It is located horizontally at the frontmost edge of the sticker sheet. It should also be the last sticker that is left.)

and 1 flame yellowish orange brick 1x6.

Put the brick 1x6 horizontally on the table.

Put the sticker on the long side surface at the front, matching its shape. Since the sticker has writing on it, you can ask a sighted person to help you with the correct orientation if you like. If you have the sticker sheet in the suggested orientation in front of you, it should already be in the correct orientation.

The sticker is yellow again. It is printed with a red Star of Life symbol on the left edge, and next to it, the word "LIFEGUARD" is printed in red letters.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

2 flame yellowish orange quarter-circle tiles 1x1,

and 1 flame yellowish orange flat tile 1x4.

Put 1 quarter-circle tile 1x1 on the leftmost knob, quarter circle to the front left.

Before you mount them, tilt the tailgate structure we have built so far to the back so that the side with bottom holes is now towards you, and the stickered side is towards the top.

Flip 1 inverted tile towards you so that its smooth side is facing you, and mount it upright horizontally on the left half of the brick's bottom side.

Put the other one upright horizontally to the right of the previous piece.

Find 2 black Minifigure wrenches.

Insert the handle of 1 wrench into the previous piece's hole so that only the wrench head is sticking out towards the front.

Repeat symmetrically on the left.

Turn the wrench heads so that their tips are at the top and bottom, not to the left and right.

The tailgate is finished! Well done! Before you mount it, flip it upside down so that its stickered side is touching the table. Then, turn it vertically, making sure that the wrench heads are pointing to the right.

Snap the 2 wrench heads on the 2 side handles protruding to the left on the car structure.

Once the tailgate is securely attached to the side handles, fold it up to close the vehicle rear. The sticker should now be towards the left.

Well done, that was tricky! The lifeguard truck is really taking shape!

Collect the following 4 pieces:

2 flame yellowish orange smooth roof tiles 1x1x⅔,

and 2 transparent red smooth roof tiles 1x1x⅔.

Put 1 flat tile 1x2 vertically on the rightmost column, starting from the back.

Put the grille tile 1x2 vertically in front of the previous piece.

Put the other flat tile 1x2 vertically in front of the previous piece.

The roof frame is finished! Great job! Before you mount it, make sure the vehicle is oriented horizontally with the front hood and grille pointing to the right. Then, mount the roof frame in its building orientation on the left half of the vehicle. The 4 connection points are the 2 roof tiles 1x2x2 on the right edge and the 2 telescope pieces on the left. Make sure that the roof frame is flush with the structure on the right edge. Only its round plate 2x2 is sticking out. The roof frame's left edge will protrude to the left with 1 column.

Once the roof frame is securely attached, fold all 4 roof bars down until they touch the vehicle body.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

The first-aid kit is finished! Great job! Place it in the left crate together with the water bottle.

Find 2 black plates 3x4 with 4 knobs in a horizontal middle line.

Put 1 vertically on the left crate and the other one vertically on the right crate.

The utility box is finished! Well done! Open the vehicle's tailgate and slide the utility box into the truck's loading space. Afterwards, close the tailgate again to prevent the utility box from falling out.

Next, we will assemble the 4 wheels.

Collect the following 8 pieces:

4 black wide rims with hole and spokes,

and 4 black thick rubber tires with low lateral profile.

Put the rims into the tires.

Snap the 4 wheels on the 4 connectors at the vehicle bottom, making sure that the rim sides with spokes are facing outwards.

The Lifeguard Beach Rescue Truck is finished! Fantastic job, that was an intricate vehicle to build! To seat the lifeguard in the driver's seat, take off the sunroof, fold the Minifigure into a seated position and put him behind the wheel. Don't forget to reattach the sunroof afterwards! Are you ready for a test drive?

You have finished building the entire set! Very well done! Now, everything is ready for some splashy beach adventures. It's the lifeguard's job to watch both the sea and the beach and look out for safety hazards or dangerous situations. Watch out for the shark, dangerous currents, dehydration, sunburn and other risks to have a great time at the beach. And if something goes wrong, the lifeguard is at the ready!

Enjoy!
