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)

The pre-selected programme can now be
started. When the cleaning cycle has been
completed, the machine is raised (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.
