DUPLEX ESCALATOR BASE 350
1.1 CONGRATULATIONS ON HAVING CHOSEN DUPLEX MACHINES
These are the main characteristics of DUPLEX machines:
•Cleaning of any type of flooring thanks to a patented centrifugal system which allows dirt
to be recovered automatically and in real time;
•Great ease of handling thanks to the possibility of orientating the handle to change the
cleaning direction;
•Easy access to ‘critical’ points (escalator edges, corners, grooves and joints);
•Quite operation.
The experience and know-how gained over our years of production (tens of thousands of
machines in various models), the testing and application in different environments combined with
the expertise of our Engineers have allowed us to improve our product constantly. We were able
to achieve perfect cleaning results even in the deep grooves in the steps of escalators and reach
the side edges, which is still extremely difficult for other escalator cleaning machines.
While cleaning moving escalators, DUPLEX escalator cleaning machines remain still
and stable in their position thanks to the especially patented self-guiding system.
Professional models equipped with a full set of accessories and special trolleys have been
created from two simpler and cheaper machine models. Apart from facilitating the transport of
the appliance within the workplace, these also allow for easy positioning of the machines
themselves on the steps of escalators in motion, resulting in minimal cleaning times.

1.2 GENERAL WARNINGS
POWER CORD WITH PLUG
•Check the power cord regularly to see if there is any sign of damage: cracking, peeling, ageing.
•If the power cord is damaged, replace it before using the machine.
•Use a cable of the same type used by the Manufacturer, certified according to “ENEC”
European standards
•Cable replacement must be performed by qualified personnel.
•Avoid any contact of the power cord with the brushes.
IMPORTANT:
Should the power cord get caught under the machine brushes, do not attempt
to get it out while the machine is working. Stop operation immediately, remove
the plug from the power socket, check the cord. If damaged, do not try to
repair it simply putting a tape around it, but replace it.
OTHER WARNINGS
•Ensure the machine does not sit on the brushes when in rest position. The
machine should be supported and raised by the appropriate transport trolley
(provided). If this not the case, the machine weight could warp the brushes.
•Be careful not to let the water used for cleaning enter into the plastic casing (gear cover).
Never use pressure washers to clean the Duplex Escalator Base 350.
•Unplug the power cord plug from the power socket before any maintenance intervention.
•Store the machine in a closed and dry place after use.
•The machine is designed and constructed exclusively to clean escalators or moving
walkways. Any other use is considered improper.
WARNING
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED
WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS.
