Safety In all fields of use the treatment of patients with a variety of physical and/or mental limitations is carried out (for example, gait impairments, limited reflexes, etc.). Special User Groups! Special attention must apply to these user groups. Compared to treadmill exercise with healthy people the risk of injury is considerably higher with these users.
It is forbidden to use the treadmill without its side rails or with walking poles. • The operation of WOODWAY slat-belt treadmills outside of the named ambient conditions in the section "Commissioning" (temperature, humidity, air pres- sure) as well as outdoors, i.e. outside of closed rooms is not allowed.
Safety Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) It is expressly noted that ELECTRICAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT is subject to special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). They must be installed and operated accordingly. The PPS series treadmills meet the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2001 (Group 1, CISPR 11 Class A), EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3. It should be noted that portable and mobile RF communications equipment and other devices with interference beyond the permissible values can affect the elec- tronics of the treadmill.
This symbol is used to label electrical and electronic devices that must not be disposed of together with normal, unseparated household waste. Information on the electrical connection Treadmill serial number; for WOODWAY Customer Service inquiries keep the device serial number handy. Model no. and product code...
For performance tests, intense intervals or sprint training the runner's additional safety measures must be provided. In this case WOODWAY strongly recommends the use of the all protection option with chest strap and emergency stop function to minimize the risk of injury.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages and missing parts if this information was not recorded in writing on the delivery note upon delivery of the unit. Damage or defects must be reported to the carrier and to the responsible WOODWAY dealer immediately.
Transportation and Storage Transportation with Carrying Poles Four carrying poles (square steel pipes) are included as treadmill accessories. The carrying poles can be inserted into the front and back openings provided in the treadmill frame (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). Fig.
Transportation and Storage Removing / Mounting Side Handrails In most cases the WOODWAY is delivered completely assembled. In some cases the conditions at the intended location do not allow for assembly free delivery (doors, stairs, elevators, etc.) and the treadmill needs to be partially disassembled.
Transportation and Storage Fig. 6 Remove electronics shielding panel Disconnect cables: Disconnect cables from display cable, emergency stop cable and the earth. First remove the cable ties that secure the wiring harness to the frame, Fig. 7. Fig. 7 Fixing of the wiring harness to the frame Ensure that the wires are not damaged! Then loosen the nut of the grounded star point, and then remove the two 25-pin D-SUB plugs, each fixed with two small Phillips screws, Fig.
Transportation and Storage Fig. 8 Treadmill controls (WLS) Now carefully pull the harness through the hole below the toroidal transformer, Fig. 9. Fig. 9 Wiring harness layout Removing the Remove the railing mount and the railing. railing mount: PPS Med or PPS Ortho: Loosen the upper fixing screw (M18) in the front and rear with a 5 mm Allen wrench, Fig.
Transportation and Storage Fig. 10 Fixing bolts in railing mount PPS Ortho / PPS Med PPS Plus: Loosen the base frame mount using a 17 mm box wrench (one bolt per rail). The inner nut is secured by an additional counter nut. Pull the bar railings ver- tically out of the guide, Fig.
Transportation and Storage Mounting the railing Mounting of the railing is carried in the opposite order. The following points must be checked during mounting: Are all cables in good condition? Are all bolts tight? No other plugs have been accidentally pulled out. Are all plugs properly inserted and screwed tight? Are the wires fixed to the treadmill frame with wire ties? Mount the side panels.
Figure Description of models The WOODWAY PPS Med / PPS Med-i series is the first choice for use in hospitals around the world due to their long-standing and proven use in the fields of medical diagnostics and therapy, therapy clinics and rehabilitation centers.
Product Description Equipment and Options WOODWAY slat-belt treadmills are available in the following walking surface widths: • 43 cm • 55 cm • 70 cm Due to the fact that several options are available the devices can be individually adapted.
The individual slats consist of two components. The base is a solid aluminum profile and the tread rubber comprises a rubber-caoutchouc compound. The combination provides for an exceptionally pleasant feel when walking. The rubber surface significantly reduces the impact energy. Thus WOODWAY treadmills are much easier on the joints than conventional treadmills. 10/2017-v1.3en...
Product Description Support system The support system consists of two supporting rails (secondary carrier), which are equipped with high-performance bearings. Six V-belt guides on each carrier ensure lateral stability. The system which consists of a total of 112 ball bearings supports the running sur- face and distributes the load evenly over the entire treadmill.
Product Description Control and Display Elements WOODWAY The WOODWAY user system (WUS) is equipped with an LCD touch panel, which User-System provides convenient operation of all treadmill and program functions. Creating your own training programs is also possible. The 5'' Screen (diagonal 125mm) provides a clear display of current training infor- mation.
WUS display as a desktop unit for the supervisor (therapists, sports external physicians, or other supervisor). The external WOODWAY user system is also available as a supplement to the PPS Ortho.

There is an increased risk of injury from fall- ing, especially in rehabilitation where patients with various physical limitations use the treadmill. Dismounting in WOODWAY PPS Series treadmills have slip-resistant surface alongside the running emergency surface. This offers additional grip when dismounting and prevents the feet from situations slipping off of the side panels.
Installation It is recommended that transport, installation and assembly of the treadmill to be carried out by WOODWAY or by an authorized dealer or service provider. Otherwise shipping damage or improper installation and assembly of the treadmill could cause a hazard when using the device.
A mat must be placed under the device. This will pre- vent lint from entering into the treadmill and at the same time reduce carpet wear. A floor protection mat can be obtained from your WOODWAY dealer (see "Options and accessories) •...

Improperly installed wires represent a tripping hazard and danger of injury. ► Safe laying of power cords, interface cable, etc. outside of walking areas. ►...
For intense sprints of about 20 km/h and prolonged high stress runs where the protection! runner is subject to increased fatigue/exhaustion, WOODWAY strongly recommends the use of fall protection with fall stop. For these and similar applications the risk of injury is very high without the use of fall protection.
Operation Application Possibilities for Children Due to their design and operation, PPS series slat-belt treadmills are only for limited use by children. WARNING Special Hazards Associated with Treadmill use by Children! There is an increased risk of accidents through the use of treadmills by children.
