GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Basic Problem
Travelator/escalators transport a huge number of persons and things within
various buildings and outside areas from one place to another.
Travelator/escalator are considerable dust collectors: crowds of people with
wet, dirty, sandy and sticky
shoes stay on the travelator/escalator for a few seconds and then go on. What
is left are travelator/ escalator whose grooves are littered with little
stones, spilled fruit juice, pieces of broken glass, textiles and earth.
Travelator/escalator become shoe cleaners.
Any kind of dirt becomes more noticeable if the surroundings are inviting and
cleaned daily.
Travelator/escalator however are hardly ever cleaned – among other things
because of the lack of cleaning machines. So even nowadays moving pavements
are being hand-cleaned in a time and moneyconsuming way.
Our newly designed travel 600 is the answer to all these problems and returns
travelator/escalators to their old brilliant form.
Constructive Features – Principle of the travel 600
The travel 600 is a newly designed cleaner which is handled and safely
operated by one person.
The compact travel 600 cleans travelator/escalators quickly, thoroughly and
close to the rim of travelator/ escalators in movement . The special brushes
rotating in oposite directions in connection with the patented vacuming unit
guarantee optimal cleaning results.
With the travel 600 travelator/escalators can be cleaned in a dry and in a wet
way (by adding cleansing agents). The integrated powerfull vacuming prevents
the dripping of cleansing agent into the travelator/ escalators shaft
(electrical and mechanical parts) and so guarantees a safe and careful
cleaning free of residues.
With the help of a brake unit the machine is fixed on the travelator/escalator
by the user. The dirt loosened from the travelator/escalator is vacuumed with
the help of brushes, vacuuming cylinders and a wet pick-up vacuum cleaner and
then collected in the waste water tank.

the travel 600 in the trunk of your vehicle and prevent slipping of the
machine. The machine may not be laid sideways. Arrest under all circumstances
the fixing brake of the guiding wheel (10).
Take the travel 600 on its wheels to the area to be cleaned.
Before starting to work
Before every use the relevant safety regulations have to be considered and
observed.
The travelator/escalator to be cleaned has to be inspected together with its
operator. If necessary the operator has to be informed about existing changes
of colour, repairs, spots of varnish, (irreparable) damages etc. on the
travelator/escalator .
Before the first use of the travel 600 carefully study the use of the machine.
Careful reading, understanding and acting according to the instructions are
important preconditions for all works with the travel 600.
Preparations/Safety measures at place of work
The date of cleaning has to be determined with the personnel in charge
(commissioning, caretaker, wast water disposal, company electrician etc.) If
necessary the safety officer has to be informed.
The travelator/escalator has to be switched off by an authorized person and
must be secured against unauthorized switching on. Take off the key of
travelator/escalator!
The entrances at the upper and lower end of the travelator/escalator as well
as the working area are to be closed off extensively against unauthorized
persons by using sufficient safety devices (such as red and white barriers).
Leave these barriers in place until:
- The machine has been removed from the area of the travelator/escalator
- The travelator/escalator and the surroundings have dried up completely.
The necessary supply lines for the machine (e.g. electricity, water) have to
be shown to the user by the personnel in charge. Furthermore the user has to
make sure that a person competent to operate the travelator/ escalator can be
reached at any time nearby.
Find out where the EMERGENCY SWITCH-OFF for the travelator/escalator is
situated.
Before cleaning check the intact profile of the travelator/escalator. If
necessary remove objects from the grooves of the profile with the help of the
accessories which are delivered together with the travel 600
Danger of severe injuries in wet and slippery surfaces
Please wear appropriate protective shoes at all times
Moving direction of travelator/escalator
While being cleaned the travelator/escalator must always move to the machine
and the user.
When cleaning ascending travelator/escalators the travel 600 must be operated
only on the lower end.
Please always arrange with the operator of the travelator/escalator any
necessary changes of the operating direction or the operating speed. While
cleaning the travelator/escalator no changes of the motion control are
possible.
The best cleaning results are obtained at a speed of 0,7 m/s.
Preparing the machine for work

In order to obtain optimal cleaning results the space where the brushes (41) and the vacuuming cylinder (44) are situated should be checked for soiling (tilting the machine sideways). In case of soiling clean the space at the bottom of the travel 600 with a piece of cloth after taking out the brushes and the vacuuming cylinder.
After changing the brushes and/or the change of the vacuuming cylinder the side covering has to be fixed with the intended screws.
Underpressure sensor
The travel 600 checks the underpressure while cleaning. This is usefull for a
good suction from the Teavelator or escalator profile.
Pressure sensor
The travel 600 checks the pressure of the Spray pump. This sensor makes a
noise if the fresh water tank is empty [piep – piep – piep – piep] long
interval, the signal button blinks with the same frequency .
Spray nozzle
In order to check the functioning of the spray nozzles (57) have a look into
the spray sector of the spray nozzles and press button(2).
If the spraying should not work properly it might be necessary to change the
spray nozzle. Procede as follows:
