Safety Notes
• This locomotive is to be used only with an operating
system designed for it (Märklin AC, Märklin Delta, Märklin
Digital, DCC or Märklin Systems).
• 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
• 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.
• Make sure you have enough clearance!
• 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 Sifa function is activated by turning the F26 function
on and the Sifa warning sounds after a certain time.
Now the Sifa button (F27) should be pressed at regular
intervals. When the Sifa button is not pressed, „Sifa
Obligatory Braking" sounds and the train comes to a stop.
