Safety Notes

• This locomotive is to be used only with an operating
system designed for it (Märklin AC, Märklin Delta, Märklin
Digital or DCC).
• Use only switched mode power supply units and transfor-
mers that are designed for your local power system.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from
more than one transformer.
• Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions
for your operating system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent inter-
ference with radio and television reception, when the
locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The
74046 interference suppression set is to be used for this
purpose.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme
changes in temperature, or high humidity.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 accor-
ding to Standard EN 60825-1.

Notes about using this model for the first time

• This model needs a great deal of current to start up due
to its considerable weight. You should therefore be care-
ful when starting the locomotive without acceleration and
braking delay (ABV) that the locomotive controller is not
immediately turned up 100%. The motor control shuts off
for safety reasons when the locomotive is started up too
quickly.
• Minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16".
• Sharp curves and turnouts with sharp curves should only
be negotiated at moderate speed, however.
• Due to the prototypical execution of this model, very high
demands are placed on the precision and execution of
the track material used. While the Märklin C or K Track
meets these standards, M Track might not always meet
them due to greater tolerances caused by years of ope-
ration. For that reason you may have operating problems
in these situations when running the rail bus at extremely
slow speeds or fast speeds through turnouts.
• This model is larger than the customary European loading
gauge. It swings out quite a ways, chiefly on curves.
Please check before using this model for the first time,
to make sure that it can operate on your layout without
hitting signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel
portals, etc.
• Power cannot be supplied from the catenary.
• Fitted pickup shoe switching. The motor therefore always
receives its voltage from the front power end car.
• The pantograph may not be moved by hand.
