3. USING THE BIODEX UNWEIGHING SYSTEM
NOTE: Never leave a patient unattended on this device. Check all cables, harnesses and fittings before
each use. See Chapter 4, "Maintenance and Safety Inspection," for additional instructions.
NOTE: The Biodex Offset Unweighing System uses a special harness to support the patient. It is vital that
the harness fits properly on the patient. Refer to the Biodex Universal Air Support Harness Operation
Manual, supplied with your harness, for specific information about harness use.
STEERING CASTERS
The Biodex Offset Unweighing System has four locking casters. Two are also steering casters.
The pair of steering casters are located at the front of the system (the side with the Stop
Indicator and Rope Inspection Window near the top frame corners).
POSITIONING THE UNWEIGHING SYSTEM FOR USE WITH THE
BIODEX RTM TREADMILL
(See Figure 6.)
1. Unlock the four locking casters.
2. Roll the unweighing system into position so the display faces toward the back of the treadmill
deck. (The display should be on your right side.) The treadmill control panel should be easily
accessible. The patient should be placed in the center of the treadmill belt and closer to the front
than the back.
3. Lock all four locking casters.
4. Adjust unweighing as needed.
NOTE: When using the Offset Unweighing System with a treadmill, the steering casters should be posi-
tioned at the rear of the treadmill. This will make it easier to maneuver around the treadmill deck.
POSITIONING THE UNWEIGHING SYSTEM FOR USE WITH THE
BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM
(See Figure 7.)
1. Unlock the four locking casters.
2. Roll the Unweighing System over the Balance System so the Unweighing System display
faces away from the Balance System display. (The display should be on your right side.)
3. Lock all four locking casters.
4. Adjust unweighing as needed.
