Safety Arch With Chest Belt System - h/p/cosmos 150/50 mercury Operating And Service Manual

12.13 Safety arch with chest belt system

Every time before using the safety arch with chest belt system, a visual examination of the
N
system for detecting damage and wear-and-tear must be done. Especially the rope, the
harness and all links such as the snap hook and the rope brake must be checked.
All wear-and-tear parts of the system (rope, harness and all links such as snap hook and
N
rope brake) are to be changed immediately in case of damage. At least every two years, all
wearing parts are to be changed.
Neither chest harnesses, patient vests, nor waist belts with leash and cuffs are designed for
N
direct skin or mucous membrane contact. Wear appropriate clothing.
The safety arch with chest belt system is an indispensable accessory for stress testing, accident prevention and for the
general safety of athletes. The chest belt secures the subject and prevents falling forward. The chest belt is connected
via pull rope with the emergency stop at the crossbar of the safety arch. If a fall occurs (i.e. there is more than 8 kg (17.6
lb) traction pulling on the harness), the switch will stop the running belt immediately.
h/p/cosmos safety arch with chest belt system [cos10079], available for all h/p/cosmos running machines.
The ceiling height should be considered:
Series mercury: at least 2.46 m (97.6 inches) with 0 % elevation, 2.57 m (101.6 inches) with 24 % elevation
Series quasar/pulsar: at least 2.51 m (96.5 inches) with 0 % elevation, 2.68 m (105.5 inches) with max. elevation
Chest belt system XXS) [cos14903-02-XXS]* for children
Chest belt system S [cos14903-02-S]*
Chest belt system M [cos14903-02-M]*
Chest belt system L [ cos14903-02-L]*
Chest belt system XL [cos14903-02-XL]*
* to be replaced every 6 months or earlier at the first sign of wear
The length of the rope should be adjusted so that the subject can not use the rear 30% of the running deck.
Put on the chestbelt so that the h/p/cosmos logo is at the front. In order to attach the carabiner, put the vertical belt (1)
below the shoulder belts (2), facing the body, thereby unloading the seam at the joint (3). If the chestbelt is put on
backwards, inside out or twisted, a shearing strain may occur at the joints, which, in turn, may lead to loosening of the
joints.
Safety precautions and operation
The maximum body weight is 200 kg (440 lbs)
N
Despite the fast stop of the running belt, skin-abrasion on the legs might occur if the user contacts the running belt
N
when falling.
Nevertheless, the risk of injuries is minimized drastically compared to a fall using no safety arch or compared to a
N
fall outdoors.
The ceiling height should be considered:
