1.6 Modifications and changes to the machine
It is forbidden for reasons of safety to carry out
modifications to this machine. Any unauthorised
modifications to the machine automatically
invalidate all warranty and liability claims
against the manufacturer for any damage
caused by the modified machine.
Original parts and accessories have been
specially designed for this machine. Parts and
fittings made by other manufacturers have not
been tested by us and are therefore not
approved for use. Assembly and installation of
such parts could impair the safety and the
perfect functioning of the machine. Rosemor
International Ltd expressly refuses to accept
liability for any damage resulting from the use of
non-original parts and accessories or from
work carried out by unauthorised entities.
1.7 General safety instructions
• When the machine is not in use, it must always
be locked away and the key removed. If it is not
possible to lock away the machine, some other
suitable measures must be taken to prevent
unauthorised use.
• Neither the electrical nor mechanical safety
devices on the machine may be changed or put
out of action.
• It must be ensured that no other persons, in
particular children, are in the vicinity of the
machine when it is in operation.
• The machine may only be transported in
elevators whose permitted load is adequate for
this purpose.
• The machine should only be transported when
it is loaded into it’s transportation trolley.
• When cleaning an escalator, always attempt to
prevent slip and trip hazards by cordoning off
the working area and placing out adequate
signage to inform any person that should enter
the area of the hazards that are present (such
as trailing cables and slippery surfaces).
1.8 Safety instructions for mains operated
machines
Care must be taken that the mains cable incurs
no damage by being crushed, torn, frayed, driven
over, etc. This connection must be examined
regularly for damage, bare points, scorched
areas, etc. The machine may not be used unless
the mains connections are in
perfect
condition.
The plug must always be disconnected prior to
any cleaning or maintenance work on the
machine, or when accessories are being fitted
and replaced.
When parts, such as brushes, mains connection
cables, plugs etc are being replaced; all
technical data provided by the manufacturer
must be observed and only original spare parts
used. Otherwise safety of the machine could be
impaired. If the power cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by a service workshop approved by
Rosemor International Ltd as specialist tools
are required to properly carry out such work.
