3.3 Preparations on site
The cleaning date should be co-ordinated with
the maintenance personnel (possibly process
electrician) in charge of the travelator or
escalator.
The safety manager should also be informed if
necessary.
The operator must plug in the mains cable for
the machine, or a suitable socket must be
shown to him.
The operator must furthermore obtain instruction
on manual control of the travelator or else
ensure that some person familiar with the
workings of the travelator is available near by at
all times.
3.4 Safety measures on site
All unauthorised persons must be prevented
from approaching and/or entering the entrances
at both ends of the travelator by means of safety
measures (e.g. red-and-white barrier chains).
The machine, the transport trolley and, when
available, accessories trolley are to be placed in
the cordoned-off level area at the end of the
travelator to prevent any unauthorised use.
3.5 Preliminary work
Remove any dirt from the grooves in the steps
with a hand rake before brushing or sweeping
clean.
3.6 Working Instructions
Scratching or erosion on the travelator steps
caused by wear, corrosion or material faults
cannot be cleaned by this equipment.
The detergent applied to the
travelator surface will lead to
danger of slipping! Shoes
with non-slip soles must
therefore always be worn
during work on the stairs!
Any objects jammed in the
machine, such as small
stones, bits of glass, etc. are
a significant impediment to
achieving a good result.
Care must therefore be
taken that all such objects
are removed in advance.
Handheld cleaning
equipment is ideal for this
purpose!
All foreign bodies such as:
cigarette packages, cans,
etc. must always be
removed before any work
commences!
Each time the fresh-water
tank is being refilled, the
dirty-water tank MUST also
be emptied. See Section
3.14 Emptying the dirty-
water tanks on page 16
Have the travelator switched
off by the relevant specialists
and secured against being
switched on by accident!
