Safety Notes; Connections For The Locomotive Controller And The Track - marklin LGB 72307 Notice D'utilisation

1. Safety Notes

Make sure you read the following safety notes before using a LGB power pack for the first time:
• The power pack may only be connected to a wall outlet with voltage that is the same as indicated on
the specifications plate on the power pack.
• The power pack is designed for use in a dry area only.
• The power pack is not a toy. It is used to supply current to a model railroad layout.
• Never hold the power pack by its power cord when transporting it.
• Check the condition of the power cord regularly and also check the housing for damage. This visual
check may be carried out only when the power pack is unplugged from the wall outlet. If you have
the slightest suspicion that there is damage, the power pack may not be used again until it has been
checked and repaired by an authorized service organization with the appropriate skills (example: LGB
Repair Department). In this situation make sure that you dispose of the power pack in the proper man-
ner or send it to the LGB Repair Department for exchange.
• The permanently attached power cord for the power pack may not be changed in any way.
• Make sure you inspect the condition of the power pack and its connections to the wall outlet for
damage at regular intervals (depending on how often the power pack is used to play with the train), at
least once a week. This must be done with the power pack unplugged from the wall outlet. If you have
the slightest suspicion that there is damage, the power pack may not be used again until it has been
checked and repaired by the LGB Repair Department.
