Getting Started: Initial Operation
Unpacking the Model
Remove the styrofoam packaging
extremely carefully to prevent
damaging accessories and attached
parts such as handrails etc.
Initial Operation
We recommend letting the locomotive
run without a train for 30 minutes
in both directions, to properly break
it in. This will help achieve optimal
performance and longevity for the
locomotive. Of course, your model
should only be run on smooth and
perfectly clean tracks with reliable
electrical contact to all track sections.
Technical Data
Power Supply
The model should only be operated
on a pure, filtered DC power supply
of 0 to 24 volts, with a capacity of at
least 2 Amp and a fast-acting fuse or
circuit breaker to protect against short
circuits. Do not use a power supply
which is not in safe and perfect
working condition. (See "Digital
Decoder" section for operation on
digital power.)
Mechanism
The locomotive has a powerful high-
precision motor, which turns the
wheels through a robust gearbox.
Lighting
The model is equipped with automatic
directional headlights, using white
LEDs for a realistic appearance.
The "front" lights are illuminated
according to the travel direction.
Add-On Smoke Generator
The locomotive is prepared for
installation of a Smoke Generator
# 36142.
Digital Decoder
The model locomotive is prepared for
"plug and play" installation of a PIKO
SmartDecoder 4.1 # 36124 (available
separately). As soon as the decoder
is properly installed, the locomotive
can be operated on digital as well as
Analog DC-powered layouts.
Sound Module
Only the model of the BR 80 is
prepared for "plug and play"
installation of a PIKO # 36193 Sound
Unit (available separately). This
reproduces authentic sounds of the
real BR 80. It requires that the loco be
equipped with a PIKO SmartDecoder
4.1 # 36124. The sound unit must
be connected to the decoder via the
included interface cable. The sound
unit includes a high-quality extended
frequency range speaker with a
waterproof diaphragm for outdoor
operation.
Note: The sound unit is operable only
on digital layouts, not on Analog
DC-powered layouts.
Maintenance
Lubrication
After each 25 hours of operation, and
after any long periods of storage,
please lubricate the locomotive's gears
with a sparing amount of plastic-
compatible, non-hardening grease.
Remove the gearbox bottom cover and
be careful to keep the front and rear
wheelsets aligned with each other. Be
sure to securely re-tighten the gearbox
bottom cover screws.
Cleaning
If cleaning is necessary, use only a
mild cleaning agent (such as soap and
water) and gentle action with a soft
non-abrasive cloth or brush. Never
immerse the loco in liquid or "flood"
any internal parts!
Wheel Wipers and pick-Up shoes
should be changed after 500 hours of
operation.
Please Note!
Damage to Carpets and Other Surfaces:
Normal operation of the locomotive
causes wear of mechanical parts (wheels,
electrical pickups etc.). This produces
carbonized dust, grease and oil, which
can permanently stain carpets, wood
floors and other materials. It is the user's
responsibility to take proper precautions
against this damage. Wipe any grease or
oil from the track rails with a clean soft
cloth. PIKO Spielwaren GmbH, as well
as its representatives, distributors and
retailers, assume no liability for any such
damage.
Please Note!
