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" instruction for operation on
digital power.)
Drive System
The model contains a high capacity
motor, that is connected through
robust gearing to two axles.
Lighting
The model is equipped with an
automatic directional headlight, 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 recommended radius
of 600 mm (23.62'').
Digital Decoder
The model locomotive is prepared for
"plug and play" installation of a PIKO
#36122 loco 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.
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 (e. g. Lubricating
Grease PIKO no. 36216). 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!
Normal Wear Items
Electrical pick-up shoes, wheel wipers
and traction tires will wear with use
and should be replaced as needed.
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!
