Technical Data
Power Supply
The model should only be operated
on a pure, fi ltered DC power supply
of 0 to 24 volts, with a capacity of at
least 1 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 a powerful high-
precision motor, which turns 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.
a minimum recommended radius of
Add-On Smoke Generator
The locomotive is prepared for
installation of a Smoke Generator.
For Analog operation:
#36142 with #36143
For Digital operation: #36141
Digital Decoder
The model locomotive is prepared for
"plug and play" installation of the
PIKO #36121 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 Sound Unit
(available separately). This reproduces
authentic sounds of the real loco.
For Analog operation use the sound kit
#36221.
For Digital operation use sound kit
#36193.This requires that the loco be
equipped with PIKO #36121 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.
Initial Operation
It is recommended to let the
locomotive run at moderate speed
without a train for 30 minutes in each
direction, to properly break it in. This
will help achieve optimal performance
and longevity for the locomotive.
Track Cleaning and
Electrical Contact
Of course, the model should only be
run on smooth and perfectly clean
tracks with reliable electrical contact
to all track sections. Poor electrical
contact causes the vast majority of all
operating problems.
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, such as PIKO #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 "fl ood"
any internal parts!
Normal Wear Items
Electrical pick-up shoes, traction tires
and internal pick-up wipers 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 fl oors 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!
