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 and sound system
The model is factory-prepared for the
installation of a PIKO SmartDecoder.
Furthermore, a PIKO SmartDecoder
sound system with original sound
can also be retrofitted. The PIKO
SmartDecoder sound system
is equipped with a broadband
loudspeaker with waterproof
membrane. After installation of the
PIKO SmartDecoder sound system,
the locomotive can be used with all
its digital functions on digital layouts.
When used on analog layouts, only
the driving sound of the locomotive is
reproduced.
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!
