step 110

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 re-
moved before any work commences!
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. The handheld cleaning
equipment is ideal for this purpose!
Remove any dirt from the grooves in the steps with the 4 cm hand rake before vacuuming,
brushing or sweeping clean.
Handheld cleaning equipment should not be left lying on the escalator, other-
wise 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 therefore 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 the 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. 4:Fixing
the machine).
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!
