Care and Maintenance of Force Plate

 

 
To clean the Force Plate, we recommend the use of standard household detergent to wipe 
down the external surface area. 
 

Note: 

Do not place or allow any water to ingress into the Platform via the load cell holes or the 
penetration used for the USB communication port underneath the Platform. 
 

 

PRECAUTIONS 

 
Before the Force Platform is used for any purpose, checks must be carried out to ensure 
the safety of the individuals using the Platform.  Appropriate footwear must always be worn 
when using the Platform. 
 
All operators must ensure themselves that the Platform is suitable and safe for the 
application or testing purpose, by carrying out a series of tests prior to using the system.   
 
The Testing Officer or Force Plate Operator acknowledges the decision to use the Force 
Plate and it’s suitability for the purpose rests solely with their deliberate decision to use the 
device.

The Company warrants that the products are thoroughly examined before shipment and 
agrees to make good any part that is proved to be defective due to faulty workmanship. 
Defects or failures in equipment which, under proper use, appear therein and arise solely 
from faulty materials or workmanship will be remedied by us free of charge provided the 
equipment is returned to our Workshop within a period of twelve (12) months from date of 
delivery, freight paid both ways. In the case of warranty service to equipment "on site" or at 
the purchaser's premises, all traveling and accommodation costs shall be to the

maliciousness, negligence or through changes to electrical configuration of equipment or 
voltage in excess of rating is specifically excluded from this warranty (the Proof to the 
contrary being the onus of the purchaser). Where this occurs then such warranty real or 
implied offered by The Company, shall immediately come to an end, The Company 
extends such warranties as are offered by the original manufacturer of material.  Liability
