    High service life (one running surface belt for one treadmill life) 5.2.3 Incline System The CONTINUUM treadmills have lifting scissors with casters. This makes a maximum incline of 25% possible. The lifting system is driven by an AC motor which changes the angle of the scissors, thus changes the incline of the running belt and absorbs a large proportion of the weight of the treadmill and the body weight of the user during an incline run.

  • Page 36: Emergency Stop Button

    The emergency stop button (mushroom type) is mounted on the right-hand railing (as seen from walking direction) of all CONTINUUM devices. Activating the emergency stop system causes immediate power disconnection to the drive system. The running surface comes to a stop in a reasonably short time, without causing further danger to the runner by braking too suddenly.

  • Page 37: Emergency Stop Pull Cord

    5.3.2 Emergency Stop Pull Cord The emergency stop switch is a magnetic contact switch, which is attached in the running direction on the display. The circuit is closed through a magnet. As soon as the magnet tears off the contact- free surface, an interruption of the 230 VAC supply will initiate an emergency stop.

  • Page 38: Belt Drive Current Limiting

    5.3.3 Belt Drive Current Limiting The CONTINUUM treadmills are equipped with a current limit control function which reduces power consumption and increases safety. The main safety feature is the current limiter after time overflow. If the running belt is blocked for more than 10 seconds, the motor current will be reduced to 6A.

  • Page 39: Setup And Installation

    Before installing the device, operational and functional safety are to be tested. This includes correct installation, electrical connection, and operator training. In most cases, your WOODWAY treadmill will be delivered completely assembled.
