To preserve an attractive appearance of your escalators and moving walkways for 20 or 30 years proper care and maintenance is required. A condition for faultless operation is regular cleaning.
When cleaning the surfaces no caustic, solvent or abrasive materials, detergents or polishes should be used. Please observe
Switch off the escalator or moving walkway before cleaning
Make sure that water and other liquids do not enter the inside of the escalator or moving walkway
Synthetic material surfaces may only be cleaned with a mild soap solution. If other substances are used (e.g. with a high alcohol content) the material will become dull or brittle
Painted parts and aluminium surfaces should only be wiped with a damp cloth and rubbed with a dry cotton cloth
Chromed parts should only be wiped clean with a dry cotton cloth
