DAILY MAINTENANCE

Before performing any maintenance on the TreadMaster, turn off the machine

and unplug the power cord, ensuring that you remove the power source from the

machine. Failure to do so can result in bodily injury.

REFRESHING AND REPLACING THE BRUSH

1. Place the polishing pad in the operating (down) position.
2. Withdraw the brush from its holder and inspect the bristles for wear.
3. If the nylon grit bristles show obvious signs of wear, turn the brush around and re-

insert, with the fresh bristles at the leading edge. This will allow for an even, more
economical wear.

4. When the brush becomes ineffective, remove and replace.

REPLACING THE POLISHING PAD

1. Place the unit in its upright storage position.
2. Grip both ends of the pad and pull away from its Velcro

®

holding strips. For economy,

the pads are reversible end for end as well as face for face.

3. To replace the pad, simply align on the Velcro holder and press firmly into place.

USING THE RISER BRUSH

The riser brush is used to remove

dirt particulates which adhere to the

vertical face of the escalator, or riser

(see Figure 17).

To use this riser brush, attach a broom

handle to the brush and sweep the

riser face. As the dirt falls, it will be

collected by the TreadMaster as the

escalator cycles.
