designed to clean all types of escalator and travelator
treads, and is ideally suited for use in airports,
shopping centres, retail stores, hotels and
Underground railway stations.
The machine is intended for indoor use only in dry
conditions.
The following instructions contain important
information about the machine and safety advice for
the operator.
Equipment must be operated, serviced and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
If in doubt contact the supplier of your machine.
1.1 Important Safety Advice
When using electrical equipment basic safety
precautions should be followed including the
following.
• Read all instructions carefully before use.
• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from
the machine when in use.
• Do not leave the machine connected to the
electricity supply when not in use, always remove
the plug from the socket-outlet.
• Switch off the machine before removing the plug.
• When unplugging pull the plug, not the supply cord.
• Keep the power supply cord clear of moving parts.
During operation hazard may occur when running
the machine over the power supply cord.
• Do not operate the machine with a damaged
supply cord or plug, or after the machine
malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Contact an
authorised Service Agent for repair or adjustment.
• The plug of the power supply cord must be
removed from the socket-outlet before
commencing cleaning of the machine or
undertaking maintenance operations.
• The power supply cord is to be regularly inspected
for signs of damage. If the power supply cord is
damaged, it has to be replaced.
• Do not use where hazardous dust is present.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
1.2 Guidelines for the operator
• Operators must be fully trained in the use of the
machine in accordance with these instructions, able
to perform user maintenance and the correct
selection of brushes.
• Operators should be physically capable to
manoeuvre, transport and operate the machine.
• Operators should be able to recognise unusual
operation of the machine and report any problems.
• Keep hands and feet well clear of rotating brushes.
• Wear suitable footwear to avoid slipping.
• Wear suitable clothing to keep dry and warm.
• Do not smoke when using the machine.
• CAUTION - This machine is for dry use only and
should not be used or stored outdoors in wet
conditions.
1.3 Transporting the machine
CAUTION - THIS MACHINE IS HEAVY
Do not attempt to lift the machine without
assistance. Incorrect lifting techniques may result in
personal injury.
To move the machine around, pull the handle
backwards to bring the wheels into contact with the
floor enabling the machine to be moved easily.
2 Preparing for use
1. Carefully remove the machine and brushes from
their respective packaging.
2. Check machine for transit damage. Do not use
machine if damaged.
3. Raise handle to working position.
2.1 Fitting the brushes
WARNING - This appliance has been designed for
use with the brushes specified by the
manufacturer. The use of other brushes may
impair safety.
Always ensure machine is unplugged before fitting or
removing parts.
• Release the two locking pins securing the top cover
and raise the cover to rest against the handle.
• Disconnect the two hoses from the brush cowl.
• Tip the cowl forward to reveal the brush spindles
(Fig.1).
• Remove the brush retaining clips from the spindle
ends, and slide the brush on to the spindle engaging
the narrow slot with the drive nib and refit the
retaining clips.
• Close the brush cowl and reconnect the two hoses.
• Close the top cover and re-engage the locking pins.
2.2 Electrical connection
Before connecting the machine to the power supply,
check that your supply voltage corresponds with that
marked on the rating label on the machine.
UK only
The supply cord is fitted with a non rewireable plug
containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement it must only be replaced by a 13 amp
fuse conforming to BS1362, and the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must not
be used until the correct replacement cover is fitted.
IMPORTANT - If the supply cord is damaged, it must
only be replaced by a special cord available from the
manufacturer or an authorised service agent.
WARNING -THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
We recommend the use of an RCD (Residual Current
Device) or an ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker)
between the mains socket and the supply cord plug to
protect against electric shock.

3 Controls
5 Storage
The operating switches are located on the top of the
machine.
1 - Switch, vacuum motor
Used to switch vacuum motor ON and OFF.
2 - Switch, brush motor
Used to switch brush motor ON and OFF.
NOTE - Both switches contain current overload cutouts. If tripped they will reset automatically after a few
moments. If tripping repeatedly, refer to Fault
diagnosis section.
4 Operation
The Cimex X46 machine is designed to clean varying
widths of escalator and will therefore only clean part
of the width at a time. After each complete pass,
move the machine across the escalator to overlap
previosly cleaned area until the full width has been
cleaned.
4.1 Cleaning the escalator
• Wheel the machine to the bottom of the escalator.
WARNING - Never attempt to use the machine at
the top of an escalator.
• Fully unwind the supply cord and plug in to a
convenient socket outlet.
• Ensure that the escalator is moving away from the
machine, reverse the direction of the escalator if
necessary.
• Position the machine on the escalator such that the
rest bar situated just in front of the wheels sits on
the non-moving comb of the escalator.
• Switch on the vacuum motor, followed by the brush
motor.
• WARNING - Never start the machine without the
brushes fitted.
4.2 Stain and spot removal
For degreasing and stain removal the escalator may be
lightly hand sprayed with ‘Escaclean’ chemical.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT SOAK THE ESCALATOR
4.3 Dust bag replacement
• Release the two locking pins and raise the top
cover.
• Push the top edge of the cardboard collar of the
bag towards the rear of the machine until the bag is
released from the vacuum tubes, and carefully
remove the bag for disposal.
• Insert new bag pushing the rubber seals firmly over
the tube ends until the cardboard collar is flat
against the machine wall (Fig.2).
• Close the top cover and locking pins.
The dust bag should be regularly replaced, and the
hoses checked for blockages. If a bag bursts ensure
that the filter is removed and cleaned before fitting a
new bag. IMPORTANT - The filter must be dry
before refitting.
After use always wipe down and dry the machine.
Remove the brushes and clean them under running
water and allow to dry. IMPORTANT - Never store
the machine with the brushes fitted as this will
damage the brushes. Check dust bag condition and
clean filter as required.
Wrap supply cord around the handle ensuring that the
plug is not trailing on the floor. Store the machine in a
dry indoor area only.
6 Maintenance
WARNING - Before undertaking maintenance
operations or adjustments switch off machine
and unplug from the electricity supply.
The machine requires minimum maintenance apart
from the following checks by a trained operator.
• Supply cord - Regularly inspect sheath, plug and
cord anchorage for damage or loose connection.
Only replace the supply cord with the type
specified in these instructions.
• Dust filter - Check filter condition when changing
a bag and clean or replace as necessary.
7 After sales service
Should you require after sales service please contact
the supplier from whom you purchased the machine,
who will arrange service. Repairs and servicing of
Truvox products should only be performed by trained
staff. Improper repairs can cause considerable
dangers to the user.
