3.15 Removing machine from the escalator
After you have completed cleaning every step,
you will need to remove the machine from the
escalator.
This can be done safely in two ways:
1 –
Off at the Top
- You can use the ‘machine up’
and ‘machine down’ buttons to walk the machine
up the escalator and off the top of the escalator.
You would need to have the transportation
trolley ready at the top of the escalator.
2 –
Off at the Bottom
- Follow steps in 3.11.3 to
bring machine down to approx. 5 steps high.
Now have the authorised escalator key holder
bring the machine down on the steps slowly and
in small increments of travel by turning the
escalator on and off every few seconds. This is
sometimes referred to as ‘inching it down’.

When you reach the flat steps at the bottom of
the escalator, use your foot to lift the safety
brake on the rear leg, as the machine rolls over
the escalator comb.
Place your hand behind the black plastic part
of the lid assembly and pull towards you.

Allow the tank to slide out from the machine.
Let the tank rest of the Rotomatic handle so
that you can get a sturdy handhold at the
front and rear of the tank to allowing you to
safely lift it our of the machine for emptying.
Slide the tank back into the machine in the
same way you pulled it out. Reconnect the
vacuum hoses. Pay special attention to the
colour of the hose cuffs. There is one grey
cuff and one black hose cuff. The grey hose
cuff goes to the grey pipe on the lid and the
black hose cuff goes to the black pipe on the
lid.

Automatic Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine – Rotomatic v1.0
Slide tank
Never pull directly on the blue
plastic part of the lid assembly,
always pull from behind the
black plastic part of the lid.

All local laws and regulations
regarding wastewater must be
strictly observed when the dirty
water is being emptied out.
Never swap or accidently
mismatch the hose connectors.
This will permanently damage
the vacuum motor!

It is recommended that
escalator key holder must be
trained by the escalator supplier
in the correct operation of the
escalator.
Even though it is safe to remove
the Rotomatic from the top of an
escalator, you must never
attempt to load the Rotomatic
on from the top of the Escalator!
