2.1 Important Notes

• This locomotive has a built-in steam unit based on cold
steam. It therefore has two openings on the roof. One
opening is for filling the locomotive with distilled water, and
the cold steam unit is built into the other opening.
• The operating instructions and the packaging are a
component part of the product and must therefore be kept
as well as transferred along with the product to others.
• Maintenance, servicing, and repairs may only be done by
adults.
• When lubricating the locomotive mechanism make sure
before putting the locomotive body back on that the
gasket rings for the cold steam unit and the water tank
are placed correctly. See the illustration on Page 40.
• Please see your authorized Märklin dealer for repairs or
spare parts.
• The warranty card included with this product specifies
the warranty conditions.

2.2 Notes about the Cold Steam Unit

• Only distilled water should be used for the cold steam
unit. This type of water is not included with the locomoti-
ve.
• The steam slot on the cold steam unit may not be covered
when the unit is in operation.
• During operation, an air bubble may form at the steam
opening, which will hinder the production of steam.
This can be prevented by blowing lightly into the steam
opening. In most cases, the air bubble will dissolve on its
own after a short time.
• If possible, operate the cold steam unit only when the
locomotive is running. Otherwise, too much moisture can
