1 Safety instructions
1.1 Preliminary remarks
The escalator deep machine Rotomac 360 was
manufactured according to state-of-the-art tech-
nology and in compliance with all relevant regu-
lations. This, however, does not guarantee that
some other unavoidable dangers for persons
and property can occur. All personnel working
with this machine must therefore read and follow
these operating instructions, and in particular the
safety regulations, with great care.
These operating instructions must remain at the
machine for use by the operator. Each operator
must receive thorough instruction on handling
and working with the machine.

obliged to instruct all persons, particularly with
regard to safety, who will be authorised to work
on assembly, operation, maintenance, repair or
dismantling of the machine.
The owner is also obliged in accordance with EU
directive on the use of operating equipment
89/655/EEC Art. 4a to inspect the machine be-
fore start-up, following repair work and following
faults or malfunction.
