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.
The representative alone is liable for all damages resulting from improper use! Unauthorized Modes of Operation CONTINUUM treadmill may only be used for the aforementioned purpose. Any addi- tional uses may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage. The following restrictions and prohibitions must be strictly adhered to: •...
(EMC). They must be installed and operated accordingly. The CONTINUUM treadmill meets the requirements of EN 60601-1-2 (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.
► Electrical parts such as motor, power cord and power switch must not come in contact with water. The WOODWAY CONTINUUM treadmills come standard with a grounded plug in ac- cordance with CEE 7/7 (grounded "Schuko" plug). An appropriate "Schuko" socket is to be used on site.

Transportation and Storage Storing The device may only be stored in closed, dry rooms. Direct contact with moisture (rain, fog, etc.) can cause serious damage to the electronics of the treadmill and must be strictly avoided. The following environmental conditions are prescribed for transportation and stor- age: Temperature: -30°C to +70°C...
Experience a lower RPE (rated perceived exertion), less impact, and less muscle fa- tigue with the CONTINUUM. With a low profile 21 cm step height and an absolute zero start speed, patients will appreciate the safety and usability that the most com- fortable and accessible rehabilitation platform has to offer.
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. Support system The support system consists of two supporting rails (secondary carrier), which are equipped with high-performance bearings.
High service life (one running surface belt for one treadmill life) Lifting system: The CONTINUUM treadmills have lifting scissors with casters. This makes a (incline) maximum incline of 20% possible. The lifting system is driven by a linear AC motor, which changes the angle of the scissors.
Product Description Control and Display Elements Standard Medical The keys on the display panels are membrane-type switches, with which complete Display control of the device is possible. The emergency switch is a magnetic sensor which detects the presence of a magnet and switches the treadmill off immediately when the magnet is removed.
