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.)
Drive System
The model contains two high capacity
motors, each connected through
robust gearing to two axles.
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.
Radius
The locomotive can run on a track with
a minimum radius of 600 mm (23.62'').
For optimal running a track radius more
than 600 mm is recommended.
Digital Decoder (not included)
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 (not included)
Only the model of the TEE is prepared for
"plug and play" installation of a PIKO
#36199 Sound Unit (available separately).
This reproduces authentic sounds. For
Digital operation, we recommend PIKO
#36122 loco decoder, which can be
installed via a plug-in connection. The
sound unit includes a high-quality
extended frequency range speaker with
two waterproof diaphragms 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!
