3.1 Before Starting
All local safety regulations and instructions
must be observed before each start-up. The
escalator/travelator must be inspected jointly
with the party responsible for the machinery,
who should also be informed of any
discoloration or paint stains etc. caused by
repair and renewal work.
3.2 Check operation of Travelator/Escalator
During the cleaning operation, the
travelator/escalator will need to move towards
the machine. Now is a good time to check that
the travelator/escalator moves as required.
3.2.1 Preparing the Rotomatic (or older ET15B)
For use with the T20:
Note: Check that the Rotomatic has sufficient detergent in the
detergent tank. Check the operation of the vacuum system and empty
the waste tank before proceeding with the cleaning.

to your Rotomatic/ET15B before moving into position
to clean.
