WARNING - Never attempt to use the machine
at the top of an escalator.
•
Fully unwind the supply cord and plug in to a
convenient socket outlet.
•
Ensure that the escalator is moving away from the
machine, reverse the direction of the escalator if
necessary.
•
Position the machine on the escalator such that the
rest bar situated just in front of the wheels sits on
the non-moving comb of the escalator.
•
Switch on the vacuum motor, followed by the brush
motor.
•
WARNING - Never start the machine without the
brushes fitted.
