Maintenance Lubrication - PIKO G Manuel D'utilisation

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 model has seven powerful Bühler
motors, each driving two axles via
robust gearboxes.
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 included
The model is factory-prepared for
use with the PIKO SmartDecoder XP
5.1 #36520. After installation of the
decoder, the locomotive can be used on
digital layouts. The digital version with
sound can be used both analog and
digital.
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 retighten 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!
