Automatic Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine – Rotomatic v1.0
“The Rotomatic is the most technologically
advanced escalator cleaning system in the world!”
It’s been several years in development. We’ve been listening to feedback from escalator cleaning
machine operators and dealerships all over the world and this has led us to our newest and most
feature-rich machine we have ever produced. We have literally reinvented the proverbial wheel.
Energy Efficient 2-stage step drying
All previous automatic escalator cleaning machines
use suction to remove the wastewater from the
steps. This works well, but still left some residual
moisture and foam in the escalator step treads.
The new Rotomatic utilizes the very same suction as
before with the addition of a powerful air-blower
nozzle that blasts warm air at the steps leaving
them even dryer and ready for use, than ever before
seen.
Industrial Touchscreen Controller
Rotomatic comes with a powerful touchscreen
interface. This allows the operator more
control than ever before. Access onboard
tuition and guides for the machine, view any
errors or alerts (in order to be easily able to
identify and correct them), select cleaning
programs for both escalators and travellators
(using the optional T10 travellator attachment)
and access new features found only on the
Rotomatic Escalator Cleaning Machine.

Automatic Escalator Deep Cleaning Machine – Rotomatic v1.0
Rosemor International Ltd reserves the right to adjust the machine and any documentation. This
operation and maintenance instruction manual is intended for service personnel only.
Preliminary remarks
Safety and reliability are essential to guarantee a long and trouble-free service life of the Rotomatic.
In order to fulfil these requirements, the operator must obtain sufficient skills in both handling and
operating the machine and of its maintenance and care. It is therefore vital that the operator
receives instruction and training from either Rosemor International Ltd or one of its specialists
before the cleaning machine is used for the first time.
This operation and maintenance manual only represent additional assistance for the operator in
correct and safe use of the cleaning machine. Reading this manual does not qualify any person for
safe use of the Rotomatic.
Rosemor International Ltd or one of its customer service centre’s should be informed immediately if
any technical fault in this cleaning machine is suspected or has occurred.
Automatic Self-Cleaning Mode
Rotomatic is equipped with a revolutionary new
feature: Self-Cleaning Mode.
Now, after you’ve finished cleaning an escalator,
save yourself valuable time and energy on the
laborious task of manually cleaning the
underside of the machine by now simply
activating the self-cleaning mode.
Self-cleaning mode diverts and sprays clean
fresh water back up inside the machine, across
the brushes and flushes out the vacuum recovery
tray all in one, automatic program that requires
just 5 minutes (300 seconds) to complete.
This feature, combined with our new 10s ‘Rapid’
cleaning program, makes the Rotomatic the
fastest and most efficient escalator cleaning
machine in the world.
More info on this exciting new feature can be
found on Pg. 26 of this manual.

1.1 Preliminary Remarks
The automatic escalator deep cleaning machine
(Rotomatic) was designed and manufactured
according to state-of-the-art technology and in

however, does not guarantee that some other
unavoidable dangers for persons and property
can occur. All personnel working with this
machine must therefore read and follow these
operating instructions, and in particular, be fully
trained in all of the relevant safe operating
procedures provided by Rosemor International
Ltd or one of its authorised specialists.
These operating instructions must remain at the
machine for use by the operator. Each operator
must receive thorough training on handling and
working with the machine.
1.2 Owner’s duties
In accordance with EU directive on the use of

1.6 Modifications and changes to the machine
It is forbidden for reasons of safety to carry out
modifications to this machine. Any unauthorised
modifications to the machine automatically
invalidate all warranty and liability claims
against the manufacturer for any damage
caused by the modified machine.
Original parts and accessories have been
specially designed for this machine. Parts and
fittings made by other manufacturers have not
been tested by us and are therefore not
approved for use. Assembly and installation of
such parts could impair the safety and the
perfect functioning of the machine. Rosemor
International Ltd expressly refuses to accept
liability for any damage resulting from the use of
non-original parts and accessories or from
work carried out by unauthorised entities.
1.7 General safety instructions
• When the machine is not in use, it must always
be locked away and the key removed. If it is not
possible to lock away the machine, some other
suitable measures must be taken to prevent
unauthorised use.
• Neither the electrical nor mechanical safety
devices on the machine may be changed or put
out of action.
• It must be ensured that no other persons, in
particular children, are in the vicinity of the
machine when it is in operation.
• The machine may only be transported in
elevators whose permitted load is adequate for
this purpose.
• The machine should only be transported when
it is loaded into it’s transportation trolley.
• When cleaning an escalator, always attempt to
prevent slip and trip hazards by cordoning off
the working area and placing out adequate
signage to inform any person that should enter
the area of the hazards that are present (such
as trailing cables and slippery surfaces).
1.8 Safety instructions for mains operated
machines
Care must be taken that the mains cable incurs
no damage by being crushed, torn, frayed, driven
over, etc. This connection must be examined
regularly for damage, bare points, scorched
areas, etc. The machine may not be used unless
the mains connections are in perfect condition.
The plug must always be disconnected prior to
any cleaning or maintenance work on the
machine, or when accessories are being fitted
and replaced.
When parts, such as brushes, mains connection
cables, plugs etc are being replaced; all
technical data provided by the manufacturer
must be observed and only original spare parts
used. Otherwise safety of the machine could be
impaired. If the power cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by a service workshop approved by
Rosemor International Ltd as specialist tools
are required to properly carry out such work.

It is assumed that whenever the operator is
transporting this machine, working on this
machine or carrying out any maintenance task
on this machine; that they will wear, at least, the
minimum level of PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) as required by their local laws or
regulations – This includes but is not limited to:

If the operator wishes to leave the machine
unattended, they must first lower the machine
down, i.e. let the machine rest on the green glide
rails/strips. The machine must then be moved as
far forward onto the step (as though to start a
cleaning program). In this lowered position, now
move the Rotomatic to the bottom end of the
escalator (where the cleaning would normally
start). Remove the key and then disconnect and
stow away the mains cable before leaving the
machine unattended.
