3.17 Self-Cleaning Mode
After completing an escalator clean, before
storing the machine away, you must run a ‘
self
clean
’ cycle.
This is an automatic program that will spray and
rinse clean water throughout the brush
assembly and vacuum recovery area. This
ensures that the machine is thoroughly rinsed of
all built up dirt and residues from the last
cleaning job.
To commence the self-cleaning mode:
1 – Make sure machine is sat normally in its
transportation trolley, as below.
2 – Fill the detergent tank with 10 litres of clean
fresh tap water and place back inside the
machine. Make sure the wastewater tank is
present and correct too
3 – Move the Rotomatic to your designated
sluice or wet room (or other area where
drainage is present or wetting of the floor is not
an issue or hazard).
4 – Turn the Selector Valve (Pg.9-27) to ‘
Self
Cleaning
’

Automatic Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine – Rotomatic v1.0
Fig. 29 Self-Clean Selector Valve
Dirty water will pour out from
the underside of the Rotomatic
during the self-clean cycle!
Make sure you are in an area
where this is acceptable!
5 – Press the ‘
Wrench
’ icon on the touchscreen
to be taken to the maintenance menu of the
machine.
6 – Now press either the ‘Self Clean’ button the
touch screen or press the ‘AutoStart’ button to
commence the Self-Cleaning Mode.
7 – The Self-Clean cycle will run for 5 minutes
(300 seconds). During this time the brushes will
rotate, and water will begin to run out from the
bottom of the machine as it cleans itself
internally.
After 270 seconds the water will stop flowing
and the vacuum will run for the last 30 seconds
of the cycle to remove any excess or standing
water from the brushes and in the vacuum
system.
When the cycle finishes; if the water was not
running clear at the end of last self-cleaning
cycle, you can choose to run the cycle again.
Otherwise, simply store the machine away in a
cool dry area, ready for it’s next use.
It is possible to customise the
self-cleaning process by
individually controlling the
water, brushes and vacuum.
However, it is advised to just let
the 5 minute cycle run normally
as this is best use in most cases.
