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 and wheels with reliable
electrical contact to all track sections.
Cautions During Operation:
• While the locomotive is operating, do not insert anything into the side rods. This can cause damage to
the loco or even personal injury.
• Do not touch the track with wet hands or other wet skin. This can cause electrical shock.
• Do not place any metal objects or metallic materials on the tracks. This can cause electrical shock and/
or other damage.
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 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.
Radius
The locomotive can run on a track with a minimum recommended radius of 600 mm (23.62'').
Add-On Smoke Generator
The locomotive is prepared for installation of a Smoke Generator.
Digital Decoder
The model locomotive is prepared for "plug and play" installation of a PIKO #36124 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.
Sound Module
Only the model of the BR 80 is prepared for "plug and play" installation of a PIKO #36193 Sound Unit (available
separately). This reproduces authentic sounds of the real BR 80. It requires that the loco be equipped with a PIKO
#36124 loco 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. 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.
