1976 Scania 81 - workshop and driver's manual wanted

Hi All,
I have a 1976 twin steer Scania LB? 81 and I'm looking for a workshop manual for it and maybe even just a drivers book to tell me what each of the dash lights are supposed to be and how to turn the lights on and off.
For some reason, there isn't much info on the web about this model. Is it a 1 series or what? Any idea what I am supposed to be searching for or does someone out there actually have the books I am looking for?

Regards, Erik

Don't know much about Scanias but suggest you also look for 110/111 stuff as they were far more common in Aus and probably had the same cab. just guessn

Hi Erik, I have an instruction book for LB81/86/111. We had an LK111 and apparently they didn't bother producing a separate book, they gave you this one with a separate sheet telling you what was different. I wouldn't let this one go, but I could probably scan it sometime, if you can't find an original.

I have done that, but they are a fair bit different, as they moved to all electronic controls between the two models, from the looks of it.

That might be useful Oilman. What topics do they cover? I would like to know things as simple as how to turn on the lights, or more specifically off. I am also having trouble tilting the cab and need to know I am doing the right thing. Does it tell you things like what sort of gearbox and diffs it has?

Regards, Erik

It is 94 pages long and covers most topics under thr headings of RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS, MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS and TECHNICAL DATA. I'll try and scan it next time I'm in the office.

That would be very nice of you.
Erik

Erik - I have sent you a PM.

If all fails, you may want to join the Swedish equivalent of the HCVC forum and ask. Most Scandinavians have good command of the English language but you can also use Google or Bing translate to get ahead.

Trucknet UK may be also useful. There may be some English language literature floating around in Pommyland.
