The experience and know-how gained over our years of production (tens of thousands of machines in various models), the testing and application in different environments 550 PROFESSIONALned with the expertise of our Engineers have allowed us to improve our product constantly. We were able to achieve perfect cleaning results even in the deep grooves in the steps of escalators and reach the side edges, which is still extremely difficult for other escalator cleaning machines.
• Be careful not to let the water used for cleaning enter into the plastic casing (gear cover). Never use pressure washers to clean the Duplex Escalator. • Unplug the power cord plug from the power socket or battery before any maintenance intervention.
The ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL consists of two separate machine parts: a) machine body and b) 550 cleaning head joined by a tilting bracket which is screwed to the machine body. a) The machine body in stainless steel is covered by a polypropylene casing, that incorporates a powerful vacuum cleaner, all electrical controls, a brake to control the machine on the escalators and the detergent tank.
DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL ASSEMBLY The machine is shipped packed in wooden and/or cardboard boxes. On receipt of the package and prior to use, the user must carry out the assembly of parts which due to their overall dimensions are disassembled before being shipped.

PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT FOR INDUSTRIAL USE “DUPLEX DETEX“ Special detergent to wash and degrease escalators with Duplex Escalator machines. The product eliminates mineral oils and all types of petrol derivates, organic residues of animal and vegetable origin. It does not damage aluminium alloys or components of the machine.
Figure The brushes of the DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL machines are made from a special plastic material with no abrasive coating, ensuring that no damage is caused to the metal steps of escalators or moving walkways. WARNING:...
DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL MOTOR PROTECTOR ”Mop-Up”: conveyor belt activator. Keep this switch in the low position (7) for the simultaneous recovery of dirt. Figure IMPORTANT: Unplug the power cord plug from the power socket before removing the brushes or inserting new brushes.
DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL AUTOMATIC MOTOR PROTECTION "MOTOR PROTECTOR" MP The “Motor Protector” is a safety device which stops the machine in case conditions occur that overload the electric motor (e.g. foreign bodies caught in the brushes which can prevent their rotation, poor supply of power, overheating, etc.).
DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL HOW TO WASH ESCALATORS AND MOVING WALKWAYS PHASE - DRY BRUSHING IMPORTANT: All dry dust will be sucked up using this procedure, which is essential to prevent dust from turning into mud when the washing phase is carried out.

DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL Turn on the motor and the wet and dry vacuum cleaner. Activate the escalator or moving walkway (always moving towards the operator); Grab the machine firmly and make the escalator (or walkway) complete at least three full rotations;...
DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL PHASE - WASHING For better cleaning results it is recommended to always have the escalators or moving walkways move towards the operator. Prepare a detergent solution consisting 95% of water and 5% of Detex (specific product to clean escalators - see technical sheet).
Once the escalators' and moving walkways' optimal condition has been restored, routine maintenance gets easier, quicker and cheaper. The positioning of the Duplex Escalator 550 PROFESSIONAL on escalator steps or moving walkway requires a certain dexterity and ability that the operator can acquire only after carrying out various washing operations.
Remove the machine head from the trolley and clean its interior with water. • Clean the lower section of the machine laying the machine on its side (Duplex logo facing upwards), taking care not to let water get inside the casing. Leave to dry.
Re-fit the brushes in reversed position in relation to the one they had before. This is necessary as the bristles tend to bend when the brushes always rotate in the same direction. The mechanical parts of the DUPLEX ESCALATOR do not require any particular maintenance. HOW TO REMOVE THE BRUSHES Unscrew the two screws anchoring the stainless steel casing using the supplied wrench.
DUPLEX ESCALATOR 550 PROFESSIONAL 1.10 TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS The brushes fail to turn on: • Power supply cord disconnected or interrupted. • Faulty plug. • Motor protector deactivated. • Excessive friction of the brushes on the steps (raise the head slightly).
