installed directly behind each
other in order to avoid
unbalance effects and to
achieve an ideal cleaning
result!
3 Operation
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).

Fig. 5: Fill up with fresh water
Fig. 6: Adjusting seal strip
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.
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
ensure that some person familiar with the
workings of the escalator is available near by at
all times.
Each time the fresh-water
tank is being filled, the dirty-
water tank (2) should also be
inspected and emptied if
necessary. See Section 3.14
Emptying the dirty-water
tanks on page 16
Have the escalator switched
off by the relevant specialists
and secured against being
switched on by accident!
Remove escalator key!

Automatic Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine – Rotomac 360
Created by Rosemor International Ltd 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
Remove any dirt from the grooves in the steps
with a hand rake before brushing or sweeping
clean.
3.7 Working Instructions
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 pushed into the escalator and
moved by authorised escalator operators to the
first completely extended step (Fig. 7).
The escalator is then stopped completely.
Fig. 7: Fixing the machine
Ensure that the escalator is
switched off by the relevant
personnel and secured
against accidental starting!
Remove escalator keys!
The detergent applied to the
escalator surface will lead to
danger of slipping! Shoes
with non-slip soles must
therefore always be worn
during work on the stairs!
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 objects
are removed in advance.
Handheld cleaning
equipment is ideal for this
purpose!
All foreign bodies such as:
cigarette packages, cans,
etc. must always be
removed before any work
commences!

3.9 Setting Step Height
•Move machine to the first completely
extended step
•Fix machine on the right or left hand
side of the escalator
•Lower machine and move forward as far
as possible on the tread of the stair
•Remove the clamp on the left travelling
support (16) (see Fig. 8) and move the
travelling support in or out until the
machine is positioned horizontally with
the left travelling support (27) on the
tread of the stair; then tighten the clamp
on the left travelling support
•Adjust the safety support (20) on the left
side of the machine according to the
same procedure
•Place machine on the right or left hand
side of the escalator, lower and push
forward as far as possible 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
•Start the cleaning operation.
Fig. 8: Setting step height
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)!
Incorrectly adjusted
travelling supports (16) will
mean that the operator will
have to use more force!
Make sure that the machine
is resting uniformly on the
two parallel gliders and all
four supports and that the
wheels are approximately 2
mm distant from the step!
If this is not the case, the
adjustment procedure must
be repeated!
The machine is in danger of
falling if the travelling
supports (16) and safety
supports (20) are not
adjusted properly to the step
height of the escalator to be
cleaned.

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
escalator 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 pushed
into the escalator step until the wheels stop (see
Fig. 7), it is then lowered (Fig. 10: Lowering the
machine) and pushed into the stairs on the glide
rails (28) until the seal strip (22) is arrested (Fig.
11: Positioning 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
completed, the machine is raised (Fig. 12:
Raising the machine ).
Fig. 12: Raising the machine
The machine is then pushed forward again until
the wheels stop on the next highest step (Fig. 7),
and then lowered again. The machine can now
be pushed 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
bottom to the top completely-extended step.
The switched-off and lowered machine is then
driven downwards with the escalator to the
position of the last extended step.
Always ensure that the
power cable is disconnected
and wound up before the
escalator is started again to
avoid accidents!
When raising the machine,
the operator must ensure
that the glide rails do not
hang on the inside walls of
the escalator.

Automatic Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine – Rotomac 360
Created by Rosemor International Ltd Page 16
After the cable has been connected once more,
the procedure described above can be started a
new and the escalator cleaned again up to the
top completely extended step. After the machine
has been run from the lower to the highest
completely extended step, one side of the
escalator will have been cleaned.
The machine must now be shifted from the left
to the right or vice versa (Fig. 13: Shifting
machine).
Fig. 13: Shifting machine
The cleaning process can then be started for the
right or left 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
between two steps, can be carried out easily.
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 Section 3.3
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
dispose of dirty water according to the
relevant environment regulations
•Place dirty-water tank (2) onto shaft (13)
and insertion area
•Replace tank cover (1)
•Place in tank (2) and check secure
mounting
•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
All valid regulations
regarding waste water must
be strictly observed when
the dirty water is being
dumped!
When the fresh-water tank is
being filled it is essential that
the dirty-water tank is
emptied
The manual cleaning
equipment manufactured by
Rosemor International Ltd is
particularly suitable for minor
subsequent cleaning.
