The limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical hospital or commercial installation.
2 Safety !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ !!!!!!!!!!!!! The BOOST 2 comes equipped with a safety magnet that is the primary mitigation against all motor/movement related injuries. The function of the safety magnet is to cut power to all actuators when it is pulled. This includes shutting down the treadmill belt and incline motors, shutting down the blower, and shutting down the lift motors.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ !!!!!!!!!!!!! The BOOST 2 uses an automated lifting system to improve ingress and egress from the device. This automated lift system requires power to move. If power is removed for one reason or another (magnet is pulled, fuses blow, etc), there are release pins that may be pulled to allow the enclosure to lower for patients to exit the machine.
