12.14 Reversible running belt rotation for downhill walk

As the subject is running against the usual running belt rotation and therefore has no control
N
of the UserTerminal, a supervisor must be present to control the running machine during the
training.
For safety reasons, the max. speed has been limited for the models with a cross-bar handrail
N
or motor case cover.
The patient must always be secured, either with the pull cord safety stop actuator or
N
preferably with the safety arch and chest belt system.
Turn the key-operated switch for the reverse belt rotation only when the running belt is not
N
moving. Otherwise, the running machine may start in reverse mode at the next start.
Change from forward to reverse rotation
Turn the key-operated switch and start the machine with no one on the running belt and only when the belt is not
N
moving.
Observe the belt position for 2 minutes and correct the belt position with the belt adjustment screw (as explained in
N
the instructions after installation and described in chapter 8.6 entitled "Adjustment (centring) of the running belt
. It is normal for the belt to move to one side after changing the belt rotation. Therefore the running belt
should be readjusted to the center of the running track.
Once the belt is readjusted, STOP the belt and operate the machine with the subject on the belt.
N
The function "reverse running belt rotation" will be announced by an acoustic signal and "r" is indicated. Speed will
N
be indicated as a negative value "-0.0 ... -5.0" while in operation.
Change from reverse to forward rotation
Turn the key-operated switch and start the machine with no one on the running belt and only when the belt is not
N
moving.
Observe the belt position for 2 minutes and correct it with the belt adjustment screw (see above).
N
Once the belt is readjusted, STOP the belt and operate the machine with the subject on the belt.
N
In most cases the readjustment of the running belt requires the same revolutions of the belt adjustment screw. Therefore
we recommend noting the required revolutions. This will help to reduce the time needed for the adjustment procedure in
future.
The optional function "reverse running belt rotation" permits simulation of a
downhill run. To prevent any abuse, the function can only be activated by a
key-operated rotary switch, located on the external UserTerminal of the
oversize running machines.
