Please note
indicates a statement which deserves more attention than the general text, but which does
not signify the danger implicit in
Warning

Caution
.
The order in which the steps of a procedure are carried out is important for the safe operation of the device and
for preventing injury or harm.
It is therefore important not to change the specified order in which the steps of a procedure are carried out.

5.2 Warnings (general)
The safety belt with magnetic contact must be worn by the walker/runner during the use of the treadmill.
Your treadmill will not start unless the magnetic contact is placed in the holder.
If you are experiencing any pain, you must not train on the device and must consult the relevant therapist.
In addition, should you experience pain in your chest or nausea, dizziness or shortness of breath,
immediately stop the training session and consult your doctor before continuing.
Incorrect training may cause injury; supervision by a competent medical practitioner is therefore required.
The correct biomechanical position of the user is essential.
The use of automated functions, such as Heart-Rate Training, Autospeed and Fitness tests, is prohibited if
the health and condition of the runner/patient do not allow for them and if the therapist/doctor has not
authorised the function in question. Non-compliance with this rule may lead to serious injury and health
risks and may even result in death.
Do not wear clothing which may become trapped between parts of the treadmill, such as the rollers of a
(moving) band.
Special attention is required during the use of the inclination system and the electrically height-adjustable
side supports; ensure that parts of the body or items of clothing cannot become caught between the
moving parts of these systems.
Never allow children to use the treadmill without supervision.
Never start the treadmill at a high speed and then try to jump onto it!
The EN-Motion may only be used or operated by one person at any one time. During use, no more than 1
person may stand on the treadmill at any one time.
The maximum permitted user weight is 235 kg.
Unplug the device from the electricity supply before moving the treadmill to a different location.
Do not remove the covers of the motor or the rollers. The device must be serviced by a service technician
who has been appointed or authorised by the manufacturer.
Always remain at a sufficient distance from a device which is being used by others for training purposes.
The therapist must ensure that children who are not using the treadmill are kept at a minimum distance of
3 metres from the treadmill.
Good air circulation is required to prevent the build-up of excessive heat within the device; for this reason,
no items of clothing etc. may be placed on the cover of the motor compartment.
The EN-Motion is subject to special EMC regulations and must be installed and maintained in accordance
with the EMC information as specified elsewhere in this user manual (see section 13, technical
specifications).
Portable and mobile radio-frequency devices may affect your EN-Motion.
Your EN-Motion may not be used in the immediate vicinity of other equipment. Should this nonetheless
prove necessary, the proper functioning of the treadmill must be demonstrable and evident.
Maintain your EN-Motion treadmill in accordance with the stated guidelines (see section 11).
5.3 Warnings with regard to extertion tests
Before performing a test under paramedical training supervision, a number of important conditions must be
met. These conditions are:
The participant must receive clear information about the test. The paramedic states the purpose of the test,
how long the test is going to take, what clothing and footwear the person must wear, what is going to
happen and what is expected of the person concerned.
There must be sufficient attention to the standardisation of the conditions: Temperature (16-24 ˚C) and
humidity (40-60%).
The paramedic must be adequately trained in field of exertion physiology, the recognition of signs of
overload (cardiocirculatory, cardiorespiratory and orthopaedic). He or she must possess a resuscitation
certificate (including the periodic refresher lessons). The presence of a disaster plan is recommended.
