Service and maintenance
Service and maintenance should be carried out only by customer
service technicians. To secure optimal functioning of the sole cleaning machine, it should be contolled in regularly intervalls. HEUTE sole
cleaning machines are service reduced and reliable. However, there
are some components which will wear after long period of time and/
or reduce the cleaning result.
Unplug the power supply at the control cabinet prior to all
repairs.
Before any action stop water supply.
Drain the transparent silicone hose of the dosing system.
Rinse through the dosing system to remove residues.
Fig. 9
Non usage for longer time
If you know that the machine will not be used for longer time (e.g.
annual holidays), we advise to rinse the dosing system through in
advance to avoid blockage of dosing system.
In case of unintended opening of the grid the roller brush
stops automatically and the solenoid valve will close the
water supply.
Control
The machine should be controlled regularly. Take care if components
are damaged or worn and if the machine achieves the necessary
cleaning result. Foreign objects may not be nearby the roller brush.
Cleaning
The intervals of cleaning depends on local circumstances. The more
dirt occurs the shorter should be the cleaning intervals. Don't forget
to clean the dosing system regularly.
The mixture of used disinfectant and detergent should correspond
with local regulations of hygiene and cleanness.
Maintenance
Neptun SC1 sole cleaning machine is service reduced and reliable.
However, there are some components which will wear after long
period of time and/or reduce the cleaning result, e.g. roller brushes.
Overused roller brushes are visible by bent down and too softy
bristles.

Fig. 19
Fig. 20
Dosing system – rinsing
We recommend to rinse the system for the detergent /disinfectant
regularly. However, basically when changing the detergent /disinfectant canister or during maintenance work cleaning should be done.
Put the transparent silicone hose with lter device into a canister
with clear water and start the machine for 20-30 seconds.
Sediments and foreign objects could cause damage to the machine.
If the machine has not been used for a longer time we advise to
check that transparent silicone hose and lter device are free of
sediments. Just in case rinse the dosing system with clear water.
