This Operation and Maintenance Instruction
Manual is intended for service personnel only!
Preliminary remarks
Safety and reliability are absolutely essential to
guarantee a long and trouble-free service life of
the Rotomac 360. In order to fulfil these re-
quirements, the operator must obtain sufficient
skill in handling the machine, its maintenance
and care. It is therefore vital that the operator
receives instruction and training from Rosemor
International Ltd. specialists before the cleaning
machine is started for the first time.
The present Operation and Maintenance Instruc-
tion Manual represent additional assistance for
the operator in obtaining the information neces-
sary for correct and safe use of the cleaning
machine.
The nearest customer service centre should be
informed immediately if some technical fault in
this cleaning machine should occur.

3.1 Before start-up
All local safety regulations and instructions must
be observed for each start-up.
The escalator must be inspected jointly with the
party responsible for the escalator, who should
also be informed of any discoloration or paint
stains etc. caused by repair and renewal work.
3.2 Assemble brushes
If brushes (24) have not yet been installed in the
guide rail (26), the lid (25) on the opening for
replacing brushes (27) in the left side wall should
be opened (see Fig. 3: Brush assembly).
If possible, brushes of the same de-
sign (brush length, hardness etc.)
should not be installed directly behind
each other in order to avoid unbalance
effects and to achieve an ideal clean-
ing result!
Fig. 3: Brush assembly
The procedure below should be followed:
•Insert power plug.
•Set key switch (10) to "1".
•Raise machine [pushbutton (7) on operating
console (4)].
•Move rail in the opening for replacing
brushes (27) (pushbutton (8) Touch opera-
tion for bush).
In order to prevent the brushes being
moved by accidental contact with the
pushbutton, the button will only react
to activation after a delay of one sec-
ond !
•Set key switch (10) to "0".
•Shove in brush (24) until it hits against the
right side wall.
•Set key switch (10) to "1".
•Move next rail completely in the opening for
replacing brushes (27) (pushbutton (8) touch
operation for brush).
•Set key switch (10) to "0".
•Repeat this procedure until all brushes have
been inserted.
•Then screw on lid (24) once more.
Use only original Rosemor brushes:
the size and shape of these have
been tested and are adjusted to fit the
esca-lator! A set of brushes consists
of brushes with different brush
lengths, bristles and bristle materials
Fig. 4: Control panel

Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine Rotomac 360 3 Operation

3.3 Filling fresh water
(see Fig. 5 on page 11)
• Unlock coupling (29) and separate from
fresh-water tank (30).
• Draw fresh-water tank forward on shaft (13)
and withdraw from machine.
• Remove lid (32) and fill in a maximum of 15
litres (recommended: 10 litres) of fresh wa-
ter.
• Use the cleaning Roto-Escal or Piccomat or
Sormascal in the recommended mixing pro-
portion (see operation instructions ).
Each time the fresh-water tank is be-
ing filled, the dirty-water tank (2)
should also be inspected and emptied
if necessary. See Chapter 3.1414
Emptying the dirty-water tanks on
page 16.
Fig. 5: Fill up with fresh water
• Check the position of the suction basin (21).
See Fig. 6: the seal strip must extend 15-16
mm above the rim of the side wall.

3.4 Preparations on site
The cleaning date should be co-ordinated with
the maintenance personnel (possibly process
electrician) in charge of the escalator.
The safety manager should also be informed if
necessary.
Have the escalator switched off by the
relevant specialists and secured
against being switched on by acci-
dent!
Remove escalator key!
The operator must plug in the mains cable for
the machine, or a suitable socket must be shown
to him.
The operator must furthermore obtain instruction
on manual control of the escalator or else en-
sure that some person familiar with the workings
of the escalator is available near by at all times.

Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine Rotomac 360 3 Operation
Page 12
3.5 Safety measures on site
All unauthorised persons must be prevented
from approaching the entrances at both ends of
the escalator by means of safety measures (e.g.
red-and-white barrier chains).
The machine, the transport trolley and, when
available, accessories trolley are to be placed in
the cordoned-off level area at the bottom of the
stairs to prevent any unauthorised use.
3.6 Preliminary work
All foreign bodies such as: cigarette
packages, cans, etc. must always be
removed before any work com-
mences!
Any objects jammed in the machine,
such as small stones, bits of glass,
etc. are a significant impediment to
achieving a good result. Care must
therefore be taken that all such ob-
jects are removed in advance. The
handheld cleaning equipment is ideal
for this purpose!
Remove any dirt from the grooves in the steps
with a hand rake before brushing or sweeping
clean.
Handheld cleaning equipment should
not be left lying on the escalator, oth-
erwise there is danger of it being
drawn into the machine!
3.7 Working instructions
The detergent applied to the escalator
surface will lead to danger of slipping!
Shoes with non-slip soles must there-
fore always be worn during work on
the stairs!
Scratching or erosion on the escalator steps
caused by wear, corrosion or material faults can
not be repaired.
3.8 Positioning machine on escalator
The machine with extended lifting spindles (18)
should then be shoved into the escalator and
moved by authorised escalator operators to the
first completely extended step (Fig. 7).
The escalator is then stopped completely.
Ensure that the escalator is switched
off by the relevant personnel and se-
cured against accidental starting !
Remove escalator keys!
Fig. 7: Fixing the machine

Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine Rotomac 360 3 Operation
Page 13
3.9 Setting step height
The machine is in danger of falling if
the travelling supports (16) and safety
supports (20) are not adjusted prop-
erly to the step height of the escalator
to be cleaned.
• Move machine to the first completely ex-
tended step.
• Fix machine on the right side of the escala-
tor.
• Lower machine and shove forward as far as
possible on the tread of the stair.
• Remove the clamp on the left travelling sup-
port (16) (see Fig. 8) and move the travelling
support in or out until the machine is posi-
tioned horizontally with the left travelling
support (27) on the tread of the stair; then
tighten the clamp on the left travelling sup-
port.
• Adjust the safety support (20) on the left side
of the machine according to the same pro-
cedure.
• Place machine on the left side of the escala-
tor, lower and push forward as far as possi-
ble on the tread of the stair.
• Set the travelling support (16) and the safety
support (20) on the right side of the machine
according to the procedure described above.
Make sure that the machine is resting
uniformly on the two travelling strips
and all four supports and that the
wheels are approx.. 2 mm distant
from the step!
If this is not the case, the adjustment
procedure must be repeated!
Incorrectly adjusted travelling supports
(16) will mean that the operator will
have to use more force!
• Start the cleaning operation.
It will be possible to start the cleaning
process only when the running gear
has been driven to the point where the
limit switch is activated at the lifting
spindles (18)!

3.10.3 Programme 3: Intensive Cleaning
Duration of cleaning cycle 60 seconds.

Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine Rotomac 360 3 Operation
Page 15
3.11 Cleaning the escalator
In order to achieve an ideal moisture content on
the brushes, the first step should be cleaned
twice at the beginning of the cleaning operation.
If there is strong sunlight or high temperature in
the surroundings, preliminary spray of the esca-
lator should be over a length of no more than 3-4
steps, since the cleaning liquid dries very quickly
on warm steps. After the machine - lying on the
left side of the escalator - is shoved into the es-
calator step until the wheels stop (see Fig. 7), it
is then lowered (Fig. 10: Lowering the machine )
and shoved into the stairs on the glide rails (28)
until the seal strip (22) is arrested (Fig. 11: Posi-
tioning the machine ).
Fig. 10: Lowering the machine
Fig. 11: Positioning the machine
The pre-selected programme can now be
started. When the cleaning cycle has been com-
pleted, the machine is raised (Fig. 12: Raising
the machine ).
When raising the machine, the opera-
tor must ensure that the glide rails do
not hang on the inside walls of the
escalator.
Fig. 12: Raising the machine
The machine is then shoved forward again until
the wheels stop on the next highest step (Fig. 7),
and then lowered again. The machine can now
be shoved on the glide rails into the new working
position (Fig. 11: Positioning the machine ).
Repetition of the procedure described above will
allow the escalator to be cleaned from the bot-
tom to the top completely-extended step.
Always ensure that the power cable is
disconnected and wound up before
the escalator is started again to avoid
accidents!
The switched-off and lowered machine is then
driven downwards with the escalator to the posi-
tion of the last extended step.

Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine Rotomac 360 3 Operation
Page 16
After the cable has been connected once more,
the procedure described above can be started
anew and the escalator cleaned again up to the
top completely extended step. After the machine
has been run from the lower to the highest com-
pletely extended step, one side of the escalator
will have been cleaned.
The machine must now be shifted from the left
to the right (Fig. 13: Shifting machine ).
Fig. 13: Shifting machine
The cleaning process can then be started for the
right side and take place as described above.
3.12 Subsequent cleaning
Manual cleaning equipment has been developed
by Rosemor International Ltd by means of
comprehensive practical tests.
With this equipment, any subsequent cleaning
that may become necessary, such as major
soiling on the edges and the joining areas be-
tween two steps, can be carried out easily.
The manual cleaning equipment
manufactured by Rosemor is
particularly suitable for minor subse-
quent cleaning.
3.13 Refilling with fresh water
The operator must carry out regular checks at
the transparent feeder tube for fresh water (29)
to ensure that the machine is receiving a supply
of detergent solution. If bubbles appear in the
tube or if no liquid can be seen, the fresh-water
tank is empty and must be refilled.
Let the machine stand in the lowered position on
the escalator and fill fresh water along with
cleaning agent according to instructions in Chap-
ter 3.3.
When the fresh-water tank is being
filled it is essential that the dirty-water
tank is emptied
3.14 Emptying the dirty-water tanks
(see Fig. 14: Remove dirty-water tank and Fig.
15: Insert dirty-water tank )
•Set key switch (10) to "0" position.
•Draw the dirty-water tank (2) forward and set
down onto shaft (13).
•Remove tank lid (1) with suction tubes and
let hang to the side.
•Grip tank on the carrying-troughs and dis-
pose of dirty water according to the relevant
environment regulations.
All valid regulations regarding waste
water must be strictly observed when
the dirty water is being dumped!
•Place dirty-water tank (2) onto shaft (13) and
insertion area.
•Replace tank cover (1).
•Shove in tank (2) and check secure mount-
ing.
•Set key switch (10) to position "1".
•Start suction with START/STOP key (5).
•Check fitting of tank cover !
•Switch off suction with START/STOP key
(5).
•The work can now be continued.

3.15 Ending the cleaning process
•Move machine as described in Chapter 3.11
with the escalator to the lowest completely
extended step.
•The machine is then raised over the lifting
spindle drive (18).
•If the escalator is going downwards, leave
the escalator at the lower end, while making
sure that:
When the machine is driving over the
rim comb (45) the rear axle along with
the brake (19) must always be raised
in order to prevent the machine catch-
ing on the escalator’s rim combs
Take out the machine with transport trolley (Fig.
17) (see Chapter 3.16 Use of transport trolley)
and bring to place of storage.

3.16.1 Preparation for transport
For transport, the machine is removed from the
transport trolley with the shaft in front after the
fixing axle (46) has been removed and driven
into the shaft (see Fig. 18: ).
Fig. 18: Moving into transport position
Before the travelling mechanism is
driven from the stairs, the rollers on
the transport trolley must always be
secured with the brakes!
After the fixing axle (46) has been inserted and
secured, the travelling mechanism can be drawn
in and the machine thus placed on the transport
trolley.
The fixing axle (46) must be secured
against slipping out by means of the
supplied permanent cotter pin !
The guide rollers of the transport trolleys allow
the machine to be manoeuvred easily (see Fig.
19).

Before the travelling gear is drawn in,
the roller of the transport trolley must
always be secured with the brakes!
After the fixing axle (46) has been inserted and
secured again, the travelling gear can be drawn
in to about half its length and the machine then
swung into the maintenance position on the trol-
ley.
The fixing axle (46) must be secured
against slipping out by means of the
supplied permanent cotter pin!
In this way maintenance and cleaning work can
be carried out easily and quickly (see Fig. 21:
Machine in maintenance position).

4 Maintenance / Care
4.1 Safety measures during cleaning and
maintenance of the machine
•Before any maintenance or cleaning work is
carried out, the machine must be separated
from the mains with the main switch being set
to "0“ and the mains plug disconnected. This
will prevent accidents caused by electrical
voltage or moving parts.
•During cleaning or maintenance work on the
machine, when parts are being replaced or
new equipment fitted for a new function,
care must be taken that the machine can not
accidentally start, roll or turn over and that
no parts can fall down or flap closed.
If the operator has any questions or doubts re-
garding safety, he must request advice from the
manufacturer or the relevant sales agent before
starting the machine.
4.2 Daily care
•Examine the power cable for any damage.
•Always empty the dirty-water tank (2) follow-
ing use and rinse thoroughly with water
(Note instructions in Chapter 3.14).
