Warning and Caution Statements

and General Safety Guidelines
Warning and Caution Statements
Warning statements indicate a particularly dangerous activity that could cause personal injury. Warning
statements you will find in this manual include:

Because this is a self-powered unit, it will either be necessary to either equip the unit with the
optional external power supply or have an assistant pedal on the unit while voltage measurements
are being taken. Because of the danger of working on the unit while it is in motion using the optional
external power supply is strongly recommended.

When the unit is used, stairarms are in motion; the generator will operate and produce potentially
hazardous voltages even when the battery is disconnected.

Caution statements are intended to prevent damage to the AMT as a result of the current activity.
Caution statements included in this manual are listed below:
•
When it is necessary to lift or move the AMT, ensure that the AMT has adequate support
and that you use proper lifting techniques. When the rear platform is removed, the AMT
may be lifted from the rear and moved like a wheelbarrow.
•
To remove power from the AMT, the optional external power supply (when equipped)
must be disconnected from the wall outlet and the red (positive) wire must be
disconnected from the battery. Always ensure that the AMT external power supply is
unplugged from the wall outlet and the red (positive) wire is removed from the battery
when you inspect or adjust the AMT, or when you isolate, remove, or replace an AMT
component.
•
Removing the covers exposes high voltage components and potentially dangerous
machinery. Exercise extreme caution when you perform maintenance procedures with
the cover(s) removed.
• During service operations you will be very close to moving machinery and voltage bearing
components. When you perform maintenance procedures with the covers removed, remove jewelry
(especially from ears and neck), tie up long hair, remove neck ties, and do not wear loose clothing.
• Exercise caution when touching any wire or electrical component during AMT operation.
• A pinching hazard exists when the unit is operated. It is possible to seriously pinch a finger. The AMT
can be mechanically locked by inserting a screwdriver through the primary sheave and frame. See the
illustration below. Locking the AMT will prevent accidental pinching.
A pinching hazard exists when the unit is operated. It is possible to seriously pinch a finger. The AMT
can be made immobile by lift the stairarm pedals and removing the tension from stairarm flat belts.
Removing the tension from the flat belts will prevent accidental pinching.
