Basic cleaning
Cleaning very dirty travellators/ escalators
(normally done when the escalator has not
been cleaned for a long time). Areas with
heavy dirt and stains should ideally be
cleaned manually.
Tips for cleaning
– First clear off loose, coarse dust manu-
ally.
– Remove hard objects (such as stones)
from the ridges of the steps.
– Clean the front side of the escalator
steps manually.
– Clean the stepping areas in overlapping
strips. To do that, first move the appli-
ance from the working position and
place it on the side.
– Observe the steps while cleaning. They
should be moist but not wet. There
should not be any foam residue.
– First do moist cleaning (with detergent
liquid) and then dry (by setting the appli-
ance to dry vacuum cleaning).
– Then clean using clear water so as to
remove detergent residues.
Cleaning operations
DANGER
Risk of injury and electric shock! Always
route the extension cable so that it cannot
be trapped or crushed and does not pre-
sent a tripping hazard.
 Plug in the mains plug.
 Insert the end of the extension cable as
a loop in the strain relief clamp.

 Lock the rear wheels.
 Place the machine on the platform in
such a way that the front wheels do not
touch the first step of the moving travel-
lator/ escalator.
 Press pedal for lowering the brush
head. The brush head will be lowered
and the lock lever will arrest in its posi-
tion.
 Press the foot pedal with one foot and
while doing so move the machine a little
back and forth towards the side. The
machine will position itself centrally in
the grooves of the steps; you will then
hear a rustling sound.
DANGER
Risk of injury! The device must not be
pushed any further onto the escalators than
indicated. Otherwise there is a danger that
the device will be carried away by the esca-
lator. In the event of such a danger, push
the escalator emergency stop button imme-
diately.
The cleaning head must lie flat on the esca-
lator.
 Set the appliance switch to regular or
basic cleaning.
