Central Station/Mobile Station:
see the description for the unit in question.
The VMAX has been preset at 88% (Mobile Station) and at 225
(Central Station) on the model in order to give good running
characteristics. Raising this value further will not increase
the speed; it will only have a negative effect on the running
characteristics.
Safety Warnings
• This locomotive is to be used only with an operating system
designed for it (Märklin 6646/6647 AC trans-former,
Märklin Delta, Märklin Digital or Märklin Systems). Under no
circumstances should transformers rated for an input of 220
volts be connected to the American 110 volt household current
system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent interference
with radio and television reception, when the locomotive is to
be run in conventional operation. The 74046 interference sup-
pression set is to be used for this purpose. The interference
suppression set is not suitable for digital operation.
• Pay close attention to the safety warnings in the
instructions for your operating system.
The maintenance work necessary with normal operation of
this locomotive is described below. Please see your authorized
Märklin dealer for repairs or spare parts.
No warranty or damage claims shall be accepted in those cases where
parts neither manufactured nor approved by Märklin have been installed
in Märklin products or where Märklin products have been converted in
such a way that the non-Märklin parts or the conversion were causal to the
defects and / or damage arising. The burden of presenting evidence and
the burden of proof thereof, that the installation of non-Märklin parts or the
conversion in or of Märklin products was not causal to the defects and / or
damage arising, is borne by the person and / or company responsible for
the installation and / or conversion, or by the customer.
WARNING! This product contains magnets. Swallowing more than one
magnet may cause death in certain circumstances. If necessary, see a
