EN WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTICES U.S. Products uses this WARNING symbol throughout this document to warn of possible injury or death. This CAUTION symbol is used to warn of possible equipment damage. This NOTICE symbol indicates that federal or state regulatory laws may apply, and also emphasizes supplemental information.
EN Warnings and Cautions specific to the TreadMaster include the following. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury: Turn off all controls before unplugging the TreadMaster. Failure to do so can cause bodily injury. Unplug the TreadMaster from outlet when it is not in use and before servicing. Failure to do so can cause bodily injury. Do not unplug the TreadMaster by pulling on its cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
EN Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center. Failure to follow this warning can result in the possibility of electric shock, serious bodily injury and/or death. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
EN Before setting up the machine, turn off the escalator or moving sidewalk. Failure to do so can cause bodily injury. This appliance must be grounded. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions on page 17 of this document. Failure to properly ground the equipment can result in the possibility of electric shock and serious bodily injury or death. If the plug on the power cord is damaged, dispose of the cord.

EN MEASURING INFORMATION Before ordering an additional or replacement head assembly, be aware that specific measurements are needed to effectively and efficiently process your order. To properly measure the escalator or moving sidewalk, refer to Figure 1 and follow these guidelines: 1. With a measuring device, measure the horizontal distance from side wall to side wall, on the bottom step (see solid arrows in Figure 1).
EN TreadMaster Information and Operating Instructions - 12
EN INSPECTION, INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORTING INSPECTING ASSEMBLIES After receiving your TreadMaster, carefully unpack the boxes and inspect the housing assembly, brush and head assembly for shipping damage. No matter which TreadMaster configuration you order (see Table 1 and Table 2 on 34), you can receive up to three major assemblies in your shipment unless you specify otherwise: 1. 2. 3.
EN 3. Position the housing assembly’s lift arm onto the head assembly, aligning the mounting holes on the lift arm with the fasteners on the head assembly (see Figure 4). Lift Arm Lift Arm Latching Bail Handle Figure 4. Position Pad Holder Lift Arm on Head Assembly 4. Secure the head assembly to the lift arm by re-installing the two fluted knobs (see Figure 5). Figure 5. Secure Head Assembly with Fluted Knobs; Attach Hose to Nozzle 5. Figure 6.
EN INSERTING A DIFFERENT BRUSH INTO HEAD ASSEMBLY If you want to replace a brush — for example, in the case of removing the nylon grit brush and replacing it with the Soft brush for painted escalators — follow these steps: 1. 2. Turn off the TreadMaster. Loosen the thumb screw on the head assembly (see Figure 7). Thumb Screw Slide Brush Out of Head Assembly Figure 7. Loosen Thumb Screw and Slide Brush Out of Head Assembly 3. 4. 5. 6. Slide the brush out of the head assembly. Insert the new brush.
EN TRANSPORTING/STORING THE TREADMASTER To move or store the TreadMaster: 1. Turn off the TreadMaster. 2. Unplug the cord from the power source and the TreadMaster. 3. Store the cord and the escalator cleaning sign in the storage compartment. 4. Attach the latching bail handle to the end of the housing assembly’s handle as shown in Figure 8. 5. Position the TreadMaster in the upright position. Latching Bail Handle Figure 8.
EN GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS During operation, the TreadMaster must be electrically grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord which has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
EN TreadMaster Information and Operating Instructions - 18
EN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PREPARATION 1. Ensure that the escalator is not moving. 2. Wheel the TreadMaster to the escalator or moving sidewalk in the TreadMaster’s upright position (see Figure 9). Figure 10. TreadMaster Shown in Preferred Placement, at Bottom of Escalator Figure 9. TreadMaster Shown in Upright Position Figure 11. TreadMaster Shown in Flat Position Always place the TreadMaster where the steps are moving away from the unit.
EN “Escalator Cleaning in Progress” Sign Power Switch Handle Storage Compartment Restraining Arm Leveling Adjustment Knob Cleaning Head Level Built-In Vacuum System Quiet Ride Wheels Vacuum Hose Replaceable Polishing Pad and Brushes Pad Holder Lift Arm Adjustable Cleaning Head Figure 12. Components of TreadMaster Do not operate this machine without the restraining arms in place as it could damage the TreadMaster and/or the escalator/moving sidewalk.
EN 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Slide the restraining arms in their channel to position the cleaning head over the tread. Notice that the pin in the end of the arm will fit into one of the holes in the channel, locking the arm into place. Extend the restraining arms to their full locked position (see Figure 12 and Figure 13). Slide the TreadMaster into the treadwell, making sure the restraining arms are firmly seated against the balustrades (see Figure 13).
EN OPERATION 1. 2. 3. To seat the cleaning brush in the grooves, set the polishing pad holder lift arm in the "up" position (see Figure 16). Attach the warning sign to the crossbar handle (see Figure 13). Plug in the power cord at the machine receptacle first; then, plug the cord into the nearest rated outlet. Polishing Pad Holder Lift Arm Figure 16. Set Lift Arm in Up Position 4. 5. 6. Prior to starting the escalator/moving sidewalk, review Steps 2 – 11 on pages 19 – 21.
EN POLISHING Pull the pad holder lift arm back toward the machine and down (see Figure 16). This lowers the polishing pad to the tread surface and simultaneously lifts the brush bristles from the grooves. TOUCH-UP CLEANING HINTS Perform these simple steps to prolong the service life of your equipment and reduce replacement costs: 1. Disconnect the hose from the vacuum head and attach the crevice tool. 2.
EN TreadMaster Information and Operating Instructions - 24
EN DAILY MAINTENANCE Before performing any maintenance on the TreadMaster, turn off the machine and unplug the power cord, ensuring that you remove the power source from the machine. Failure to do so can result in bodily injury. REFRESHING AND REPLACING THE BRUSH 1. Place the polishing pad in the operating (down) position. 2. Withdraw the brush from its holder and inspect the bristles for wear. 3.
EN CLEANING THE VACUUM BAG 1. Open the storage compartment cover, remove the bag from its holder by releasing the safety catch. 2. Dispose of the contents in the appropriate manner and replace the bag. 3. Close and latch the storage compartment cover.
