During Treadmill Exercise - h/p/cosmos 150/50 mercury Operating And Service Manual

The bike or wheelchair brakes are to be deactivated (e.g. demount brake suspension) and the skate brakes
N
demounted during the exercise on the running machine. Remember to reactivate brakes before using this
equipment outdoor again.
For safety reasons the wheelchair stabilizer must be dismantled before using the running machine for any
N
application without a wheelchair (running, cycling, skating etc.). Ensure that no remaining barrier, crossbar or other
part of the wheelchair stabilizer can obstruct or injure the subject.
The subject is to be secured by a safety arch with chest belt system for fall stop in the following cases:
N
while performing sprints
N
for max. endurance tests
N
while training on wide running surfaces
N
for children
N
for subjects with all kind of disabilities, impairments (visual, hearing, balance, etc.), activity limitations
N
and participation restrictions
while running with shoes with spikes or studs
N
during reverse belt rotation (or use the pull cord safety stop actuator)
N
during all use with wheels (cycling, wheelchair, inline-skating or roller-ski) for the "r" models
N
in case of severe danger
N
subjects with long hair or wide clothes
N
The safety arch with chest belt system must be checked for wear and damage before each use. In particular, the
N
rope, harness and all links such as the snap hook and the rope brake are to be checked.
All wear and tear parts of the system (rope, harness and all links such as snap hook and rope brake) are to be
N
changed immediately in case of damage.
Only connect accessories, software and host equipment if they are approved as compatible by all involved
N
manufacturers. Non-compliance to this clause can lead to serious injury or death and loss of manufacturer
warranty and liability.

During treadmill exercise

Use the medical running machines and accessories only under permanent supervision of your doctor or/and
N
medical staff.
Children are only allowed to use the running machine under constant supervision of a medical doctor and only
N
when safeguarded by safety arch with chest belt system. Additionally h/p/cosmos recommends the use of
adjustable handrails.
When using the treadmill for load tests, a medical doctor and a defibrillator are to be within reach at any time.
N
Electrical equipment and a subject must never be touched by the doctor or trainer at the same time.
N
The handrail crossbar should be dismounted if a safety arch with chest belt system is installed and used.
N
Dismounting of the handrail corssbar allows more freedom of motion and is beneficial for applications where
holding a front handrail crossbar is not part of the application.
Do not lean on the UserTerminal. Do not put any pressure on the display. Press the keys softly.
N
Use of the treadmill should be started with slow walking. After some minutes, the speed can be increased slowly
N
according to the fitness level.
Never set too high loads (speed, acceleration, elevation) if the health and the condition of the subject/patient do
N
not permit and a doctor has not authorized these loads. Disregard may cause injuries and dangerous health
problems or even death. At high loads and identifiable risks, higher precautions are necessary. Under no
circumstances should the test person/subject/patient be overloaded.
The automatic operation of the running machine (modes profile, cardio, test, remote control via PC and peripheral
N
devices) must not be employed if the health and condition of the test person / subject / patient does not permit and
if a doctor has not authorized said operation. Disregarding this provision may lead to injuries, serious health
problems and even death.
For automatic operation, the subject/patient and supervisory staff have to impropriate exact knowledge of the
N
expected loads before starting and anticipate an automatic load alternation (speed, acceleration, decelaration,
elevation and STOP) at any time. Higher precautions may be necessary. The treadmill belt will start moving
automatically and the speed and elevation will be changed automatically after the automatic mode has been
