Maintenance Lubrication - PIKO BR 132 Série 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 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
LEDs for a realistic appearance.
The "front" lights are illuminated
according to the travel direction.
High beam prepared for digital
operation. Ready for Drivers cab light/
engine room light #36017.
Digital Decoder
The model locomotive is prepared for
"plug and play" installation of a
PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G #36125
(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 #36226
Sound Unit (available separately). This
reproduces authentic sounds.
It requires that the loco be equipped
with a PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G
#36125. 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.
When used in connection with
PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G # 36125;
Sound module # 36226 will function
on both analog and digital 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!
