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, such as PIKO #36216. 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!
Normal Wear Items
Electrical pick-up shoes, traction tires
and internal pick-up wipers will wear
with use and should be replaced as
needed.
Any time the traction tires are
replaced, the involved crankpins must
also be replaced with new ones.
Re-using crankpins may result in
damage to the model.

Getting Started
Unpacking the Model
Remove the styrofoam packaging
extremely carefully to prevent
damaging accessories and attached
parts such as handrails, etc. For safe
transport, the model is delivered from
the factory with several small parts
uninstalled. See the instructions
packed with these parts for
installation. Remove these parts
before repacking the model for
transport.
Preparing for Operation
With track power "off", place the
loco and tender on the track and
ensure that all wheels are on the rails.
Lift the small metal tab on the side of
the tender's quick-connect front
coupler plug. Slide the tender's plug
into the loco's socket and flip the
metal clip down to make the coupling
secure. To uncouple, lift the metal tab
on the side of the clip and gently pull
the loco and tender apart.
Smoke Unit Operation and Care
Drop about 10 to 20 drops of smoke
fluid into the top of the smokestack.
If over-filled, the smoke generator will
not work. Turn the loco upside down
to drain out excess smoke fluid. Never
insert any object down into the
smokestack. The heating element in
the center of the stack is delicate and
easily broken by foreign objects. Use
only PIKO smoke fluid (#36210) to
preserve the life of the smoke
generator. There is no harm in leaving
smoke fluid in the smoke generator or
in letting the loco run without fluid in
the smoke generator.
Initial Operation
It is recommended to let the
locomotive run at moderate speed
without a train for 30 minutes in each
direction, to properly break it in. This
will help achieve optimal performance
and longevity for the locomotive.
Track Cleaning and
Electrical Contact
Of course, the model should only be
run on smooth and perfectly clean
tracks with reliable electrical contact
to all track sections. Poor electrical
contact causes the vast majority of all
operating problems.
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!
