Environmental protection

Disposal of transport packaging
The packaging materials in which your machine is supplied are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner. The packaging must not be given to children to play with. There is a risk of
suffocation due to the folding box and film.
Disposal of the product
Old devices that are no longer in use are not worthless waste.
Valuable raw materials can be recovered through environmentally friendly disposal. Please inform yourself of the current disposal methods by contacting the person responsible within your company or your local authority.

Commissioning

Erection
The erection site must be covered. The machine must be erected such that it is level and will not slip. It must also be protected against water spray and the effects of water. In order to guarantee that the machine is stable, level out any uneven floor areas, e.g. by shimming with suitable rubber strips.
Electrical connection
The machine is delivered ready for mains connection with a power cable. Connection to the mains power supply must be established via a standardised, fused and earthed socket. Voltage and current must concur with the data on the type plate (110 Volt or 230 Volt).

Operation

Switching on and off
The machine is started up via a foot sensor switch and is switched off automatically after approx. 40 seconds via a time relay unless the foot sensor switch is actuated once more.
Shoe and boot cleaning
When using ensure that you have established a stable position in front of the machine and that you will not slip. The closed shoes/ boots that require cleaning must be cleaned on the machine exclusively whilst on the foot of the user. It is prohibited to use the machine when laces are untied or other loose parts are on the shoe.This can result in damage to the machine and shoe, and may also lead to serious injuries.
Caution – risk of injury!
The dirty soles and sole edges can be cleaned on the coarse nylon brushes by lightly pressing the soles of the shoes against the brushes. Moving the soles back and forth, up and down on the brushes results in dry dirt being removed and this is transferred to the dirt trap beneath the brushes.
Leather upper cleaning (SOLAMAT 100/200)
The shoe requiring cleaning is pressed lightly against the upper roller brush. Turning the shoe to the side also allows the user to clean the sides of the shoes.

Cleaning and care of the machine

Cleaning the housing
Prior to cleaning always unplug the mains power plug and in doing so disconnect the power supply. When cleaning the housing we recommend use of a dry or damp microfibre cloth.
Dirt that has dried onto the steps must be removed with a brush as necessary.
Do not use cleaning products or household cleaner.
Coarse dirt drawer
Coarse dirt that has been cleaned off is trapped in the drawer beneath the brushes. The drawer must be emptied regularly.

Regular maintenance

• Empty the dirt drawer regularly.
• Check belt tension: The brushes must move when the belt is moved in the direction of rotation without slippage. A round belt that is too loose can slip due to loading by the drive pulley and this may lead to damage.
• Replace any damaged, worn or excessively loose round belts (see chapter Service and repairs > Belt change). Motor maintenance is not necessary.
• Replace any damaged or worn brushes (see chapter Service and repairs > Brush change). The flange bearing should be replaced during a brush change.
• Check the filter mat (only SOLAMAT 200) and replace if necessary (see chapter Service and repairs > Filter change SOLAMAT 200)

Service and repairs

All electrical repairs must be carried out by customer service technicians and electricians exclusively. Unplug the mains power plug prior to all repair works on the machine!
When ordering spare parts please provide the following information:

• Machine number
• Year of manufacture

You can find the type plate bearing this information on the back of the housing.
Disassembling the motor mounting
In order to gain better access to the brushes, round belts or flange bearings it may be necessary to disassemble the motor mounting as follows.

1. Interrupt the power supply by disconnecting the mains plug.
2. Remove the dirt drawer.
3. Remove the 6 hexagon socket screws (width across flats 3 mm) visible from above (see Fig. 1).
4. Turn the machine upside down and place it on a suitable work surface such that it is lying on the top of the housing (see Fig. 2).
5. Remove the 2 hexagon socket screws (width across flats 3 mm) on the front and back of the housing respectively, so that the motor mounting is released from the housing (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
6. Detach the cables: 3 earth cables, 2 mains cables (blue mains cable = N conductor, brown mains cable = L conductor). To do so cut through the cable ties with wire cutters (see Fig. 3).
7. Take the motor mounting out of the housing. Observe the cables left in the housing (see Fig. 4).

Changing the roller brushes – Solamat 90

1. Remove round belt no. 2 (size 930V) (see Fig. 5).
2. Release the bearing rings next to both shaft flange bearings (hexagon socket screw, width across flats 2.5 mm) (see Fig. 6).
3. Release hexagon socket screws (width across flats 3 mm) in the brush core (2 per brush).
4. Draw the shaft out of the side of the brush (see Fig. 7).
5. Take the loose roller brush out of the motor mounting.
6. Insert new roller brush and slide in the shaft from the side once more. Prior to inserting the shaft debur it if necessary.
7. Fasten the roller brush to the shaft once again using 2 hexagon socket screws in the brush core. Secure the shaft using the bearing rings next to both flange bearings.
8. Installation of the motor mounting takes place in reverse order to the deinstallation.
9. Check to ensure electrical safety following installation.

Changing the disc brushes – Solamat 90

1. Disassemble the motor mounting (see chapter Service and repairs > Disassembling the motor mounting).
2. Remove round belt no. 1 (710 V) and no. 3 (700 V) (see chapter Service and repairs > Belt change – Solamat 90). Prior to removing the belts, mark these to ensure that they cannot be confused during installation.
3. Set the motor mounting to the side.
4. Loosen the self-locking nuts, which clamp the disc brush onto the shaft. In order to do so it is necessary to secure the axle with a fitting pin to prevent it from rotating (see Fig. 9).
5. Release the 2 bearing rings (hexagon socket screw, width across flats 2.5 mm) (see Fig. 10).
6. Turn out the axle until the brush is free and can be removed.
7. Carry out installation of the new brushes in reverse order. The disc brushes must have 1-2 mm play to the screw heads (see Fig. 11). They must be secured on the shaft once more using new self-locking M10 nuts.
8. Installation of the motor mounting takes place in reverse order to the deinstallation (see chapter Service and repairs > Disassembling the motor mounting).
9. Check to ensure electrical safety following installation.

4. Remove damaged or worn round belts.
   Caution – risk of crushing when tensioning the round belt on the belt pulley!

5. First lay round belt no. 1 on belt pulley 1a. Then lever onto belt pulley 1b using a suitable tool (e.g. screwdriver). When doing so observe the direction of rotation of the belt pulley (see Fig. 14).

6. Lay round belt no. 2 on belt pulley 2a, b, c, d and lever onto belt pulley 2e (see Fig. 15).

7. First lay round belt no. 3 on belt pulley 3a. Then lever onto belt pulley 3b using a suitable tool (e.g. screwdriver) (see Fig. 16).

8. Set the machine back in its upright position and slide the dirt drawer back in.
