PINCH HAZARD !! 
 
 

The treadmill belt can travel at high speeds and is powered by a high 

torque gear motor.  This moving belt creates a pinch hazard as it passes 
around the rolls and close to the treadmill floor at the entry end of the 
treadmill.  Serious injury can result if fingers or toes become trapped at 
these pinch points.  For this reason, the treadmill is not intended for human 
use.  Special care shall be taken to keep children away from this machine 
when it is powered!!!! 
 
ELECTRICAL SHOCK !! 
 
 

Before opening any electrical enclosures, ensure that the power is 

disconnected.  Electrical shock can cause serious injury or death. 

 
 
  

2.2 

Horse Safety 

 
 

 

Special care has been taken with the 

TITAN Trainer

 to minimize any 

potential hazards for the horse.  The wide ramps are covered with a non-slip 
cleated belting to provide the horse with a sure-footed grip.  No sharp edges 
or corners are exposed where the horse could be injured.  A horse shall not 
be left unattended on the treadmill. 
 
 

A tail strap restrains the horse from backing out of the treadmill.  If the 

tension in the tail strap becomes too high, the strap releases and the 
treadmill stops.  The tail strap release tension can be adjusted so that more 
or less strap tension will cause the strap to release and the treadmill to stop.  
The manual tail strap release on the left side of the machine can be 
actuated even under high strap tension.
