started. All users need to be familiar with the details and risks of these modes (e.g. the max. speed and elevation)
so that there is no danger of encountering speeds which are too high and which may lead to injury.
Do not use the cardio mode in case of detected or suspected interference of the wireless heart rate transmission.
N
The subject must interrupt training immediately if he/she starts feeling sick, dizzy or feels pain. The patient should
N
consult his/her doctor in this case.
If the treadmill is being controlled via ECG, pay special attention to the ECG manufacturer's manual! The summary
N
of clinical data and the risk management of h/p/cosmos does NOT cover any measured parameters and/or vital
functions which are measured and/or detected by host devices (e.g. ECG, ergospirometry devices, EMG, etc.)
which are connected to the treadmill.
WARNING: Heart rate monitoring systems can be inaccurate. Incorrect and/or forbidden use and/or overtraining
N
can lead to serious injury or death. If the user feels faint, the training must be stopped immediately.
In case of interference of the POLAR heart rate transmitter, do not rely on the indicated values. Possible sources
N
of interference can be screens, computers, printers, mobile phones and any radio engineering system, magnetic
fields, electric devices, electric motors, transformers, high-voltage transmission lines (also from trains), strong
fluorescent tubes nearby, central heating radiators, etc.
If an irregular pulse is displayed in spite of flawless technical condition, please check the pulse manually or, when
N
in doubt, consult the doctor. The battery power may be low.
Do not jump onto the rotating running belt. Do not jump off the rotating running belt (not even towards the front).
N
Do not stop moving or turn around on the rotating running belt. Never run sidewards or backwards. Do not do
N
anything which could interfere with your balance.
The emergency stop must be within reach of the subject and the supervisory staff at all times.
N
The emergency stop should only be used in an emergency, especially when there is a danger of falling. It is not to
N
be used as a normal stop key.
In any case of emergency, e.g. danger of stumbling and/or falling, etc: Grab the front crossbar and/or both side
N
handrails and jump onto the foot rails (step platforms) with both feet. Press the emergency stop button
immediately!
If the treadmill is used with elevation function and the motor is switched off (e.g. by pressing the stop -button or the
N
emergency stop button, power failure, etc.), the bodyweight of the subject and the force of gravity may cause an
acceleration of the running belt. In this case, the user must not step on the rear roller when getting on or off the
running surface; the gravity force might cause a movement of the running belt.
Reverse belt rotation:
N
Turn the key-operated switch for reverse belt rotation only when the running belt is not moving.
N
Since the subject is running against the usual running belt rotation and therefore has no control of the
N
UserTerminal, it is necessary to have a supervisor to control the running machine during the training. The models
with a crossbar handrail or a motor case cover are equipped with a limited maximum speed. Use a safety arch with
chest belt system for additional safety.
If unauthorized persons are believed to have access to the running machine or if there are other reasons to lock
N
the device, it has to be blocked for restart. See OP40 in chapter 5.10 entitled "Optional settings: User Options".
Special cases:
N
Elevation control after STOP:
N
Setting OP 41 to value 1 affects the safety of the subject and third parties. A down movement of the elevation after
pressing STOP can result in confusion leading to serious injuries. h/p/cosmos strongly recommends keeping the
standard setting of this option. Stop means stop for all movements and should not activate the running machine in
any way. It is only allowed to change option 41 after having received written instructions reagrding the dangers and
after written confirmation of receipt by the customer/user.
Motor break:
N
Attention! If the device is switched off or disconnected from the power supply, the motor break will not work! After
10 seconds of operation, the motor break is released automatically and is only activated again after a belt
movement. A short jerk may occur during reactivation.
