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
Buffers
Just like the original, the model
locomotive comes equipped with double-
buffer end beams. If single center-
mounted buffers are desired, the end
beams can be easily replaced. On the
underside of the loco, remove the two
screws which secure each end beam.
Center-buffer end beams are packed
inside the locomotive's styrofoam
package.
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 Amps
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 locomotive's two trucks each contain
a robust gearbox with a powerful high-
precision can-type motor driving all axles
through a smooth gear drive.
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 loco can run on a track with a
minimum recommended radius of 600
mm (23.62'').
Accessories
Digital Decoder
The model is prepared for "plug and
play" installation of a PIKO
#36120
Loco Decoder (available separately). As
soon as the decoder is properly installed,
the loco can be operated on digital as
well as Analog DC-powered layouts.
Sound Module
The model is prepared for "plug and
play" installation of a PIKO
#36191
Sound Unit (available separately). This
reproduces authentic sounds of the real
BR 218 Diesel. The sound unit requires
that the locomotive be equipped with a
PIKO #36120 loco decoder. The sound
unit must be connected to the loco
decoder via the included interface cable.
The sound unit includes a high-quality
extended frequency range speaker with a
waterproof diaphragm 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 loco'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
loco 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.
