Smoke Unit Operation and Care
Drop about 10 to 20 drops of smoke
fluid into the top of the smokestack.
If over-filled, the smoke generator will
not work. Turn the loco upside down
to drain out excess smoke fluid.
Never insert any object down into the
smokestack. The heating element in
the center of the stack is delicate and
easily broken by foreign objects. Use
only PIKO smoke fluid to preserve the
life of the smoke generator. There is
no harm in leaving smoke fluid in the
smoke generator or in letting the the
loco run without fluid in the smoke
generator.
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 2 - 5
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 three 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.
Precautions and Recommendations
Minimum Radius
The locomotive can run on track with
a minimum recommended radius of
600 mm (23.62‘’). Naturally, extended
operation on small radius curves leads
to greatly increased wear of the loco-
motive and track.
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.
Sound Module
Only the model of the BR 24 is prepared
for “plug and play” installation of a PIKO
#3 6222 Sound Unit (available
separately). This reproduces authentic
sounds of the real BR 24. It requires that
the loco be equipped with a PIKO
# 36122 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 (e. g. Lubricating
Grease PIKO no. 36216).
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!
