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 two powerful
high-precision motors, which turn the
wheels through a robust gearbox.
Lighting
The model is equipped with automatic
directional headlights, using white/
red LEDs for a realistic appearance.
The "front" lights are illuminated
according to the travel direction.
Digital Decoder
The model locomotive is prepared
for "plug and play" installation of
a PIKO #36122 Decoder (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 is prepared for
"plug and play" installation of a
PIKO #36229 Sound Unit (available
separately). This reproduces authentic
sounds.
It requires that the loco be equipped
with a PIKO #36122 decoder. 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!
