Commissioning
Transport and assembly
Depending from volume and weight the transport and assembly
of the sole cleaning machine should be done by 2 persons. The
erection site must be covered. The machine must be erected such
that it is level and will not slip. It must also be protected against
water spray and the effects of water. In order to guarantee that the
machine is stable, level out any uneven oor areas, e.g. by shimming
with suitable rubber strips.
Electrical connection
The machine is delivered ready for mains connection with a power
cable. Connection to the mains power supply must be established
via a standardised, fused and earthed socket. Voltage and current
must concur with the data on the type plate
(110 Volt or 230 Volt).
Polish liquid (only model Solamat 150)
We recommend to use our HEUTE shoe polish, because only there-
with we can guarantee an impeccable function with our machines.
The polish is available separately.
Filling the polish dispenser
(only model Solamat 150)
To ll the polish dispenser, take out the holder by means of a
quarter-turn. After lling the bottle with polish, ensure that the cap
is rmly closed and that the function of the valve works properly.
Put the lled bottle into the holder and turn it up. The vision panel
should be visible from the front. Check, whether the polish dispenser
works properly. Therefore slightly push the toe-cap against th valve.
Therewith the polsih liquid will be supplied to the leather.
Operation
Switching on and off
The machine is started up via a foot sensor switch and is switched
off automatically after approx. 40 seconds via a time relay unless
the foot sensor switch is actuated once more.
Shoe and boot cleaning
When using ensure that you have established a stable position in
front of the machine and that you will not slip. The closed shoes/
boots that require cleaning must be cleaned on the machine
exclusively whilst on the foot of the user. It is prohibited to use the
machine when laces are untied or other loose parts are on the shoe.
This can result in damage to the machine and shoe, and may also
lead to serious injuries.
Caution – risk of injury!
The dirty soles and sole edges can be cleaned on the coarse
nylon brushes by lightly pressing the soles of the shoes against
the brushes. Moving the soles back and forth, up and down on the
brushes results in dry dirt being removed and this is transferred to
the dirt trap beneath the brushes.
Leather upper cleaning (Solamat 100/200)
The shoe requiring cleaning is pressed lightly against the upper
roller brush. Turning the shoe to the side also allows the user
to clean the sides of the shoes.
Cleaning and care of the machine
Cleaning the housing
Prior to cleaning always unplug the mains power plug and in doing
so disconnect the power supply. When cleaning the housing we rec-
ommend use of a dry or damp microbre cloth. Dirt that has dried
onto the steps must be removed with a brush as necessary.
Do not use cleaning products or household cleaner.
Coarse dirt drawer
Coarse dirt that has been cleaned off is trapped in the drawer
beneath the brushes. The drawer must be emptied regularly.
Cleaning of the uppers (only Solamat 150)
Push against the polish valve carefully, until one or two drops of
polish liquid are supplied to the leather. Spread the liquid over the
complete shoe by means of the soft polishing brush. Turn the shoe,
so that also the sides are cleaned. The leather becomes bright and
remains soft by means of our liquid.
Regular maintenance
Empty the dirt drawer regularly.
Check belt tension: The brushes must move when the belt is
moved in the direction of rotation without slippage. A round belt
that is too loose can slip due to loading by the drive pulley and
this may lead to damage.
Replace any damaged, worn or excessively loose round belts
(see chapter Service and repairs > Belt change).
Motor maintenance is not necessary.
Replace any damaged or worn brushes (see chapter Service and
repairs > Brush change). The ange bearing should be replaced
during a brush change.
Check the lter mat (only Solamat 200) and replace if necessary
(see chapter Service and repairs > Filter change Solamat 200)
Service and repairs
All electrical repairs must be carried out by customer service techni-
cians and electricians exclusively. Unplug the mains power plug prior
to all repair works on the machine!
When ordering spare parts please provide the following information:
Machine number
Year of manufacture
You can nd the type plate bearing this information on the back of
the housing.
Disassembling the motor mounting
In order to gain better access to the brushes, round belts or ange
bearings it may be necessary to disassemble the motor mounting as
follows.
1. Interrupt the power supply by disconnecting the mains plug.
2. Remove the dirt drawer.
3. Remove the 6 hexagon socket screws (width across ats 3 mm)
visible from above (see Fig. 1).
4. Turn the machine upside down and place it on a suitable work
surface such that it is lying on the top of the housing (see Fig. 2).
