In this connection it is important to stress, that these are not regulations, standards and safety checks specifically
for h/p/cosmos running machines, but current regulations for all electrical devices and building installations
worldwide and applicable for all electrical devices with metal housing.

Lubrication of the running belt/running surface
Take care not to touch the moving running belt. This maintenance should be supervised by a
second person, who could press the emergency button in the case of danger.
The lubrication level must be checked periodically by the user. Procedure: Unplug running machine from power supply,
place hand between running belt and running surface, ensure that surfaces are oiled and not dry. Also a special "tissue
test" (order no. [cos14379]) is available at h/p/cosmos as an alternative way to check lubrication level of the running belt
and deck. Use of bikes, wheelchairs or skis on the running machine as well as environmental conditions will affect the
lubrication interval! Running machines with automatic oiling systems (i.e. venus r and saturn r) must also be controlled
periodically by the user to ensure correct lubrication levels (this can be compared to the need to check a car’s engine oil
periodically as oil usage depends on driving style an can vary dramatically) as the type and frequency of use can raise
or reduce the oil usage. In the event that either dry chafing noises are heard during use or that oil is noticed on the
running deck h/p/cosmos must be contacted immediately. An h/p/cosmos authorized technical service engineer will then
advise what corrective action needs to be taken. Only use original h/p/cosmos special oil. The use of other oils or the
ignoring of the regular lubrication checks can lead to damage of the running belt, running deck or the lubrication system
and a reduction of warranty liability. h/p/cosmos recommends a maintenance contract with an authorised h/p/cosmos
service partner. Routine maintenance does not reduce the necessity to regularly control the lubrication levels. Regular
maintenance and maintenance of the correct lubrication levels prolong the life of the running belt and running deck
dramatically!

Devices with UserTerminal and without automatic oil-pump
The devices with UserTerminal are equipped with an automatic oil indication in the UserTerminal display. On
standard setting every 1000 km (special device might have different intervals) the word OIL is flashing in the
display. After lubrication the oil message has to be terminated with "OPTION 01". The device has no sensor and
the oil message will not terminate automatically after lubrication! The lubrication of the running belt and running
surface is done with the enclosed, to the extent of delivery, accessories (bottle of lubricant and 10ml syringe).
Use the provided lubricant only. Other available oils and
lubricants can damage the running belt and running surface
and therefore lead to a breakdown of the running machine.
Lubricant available on request at h/p/cosmos. The running
belt should be lubricated after 1000 km (special device
might have different intervals) at the latest or/and after
hearing dry grinding noises during operation.
The oil-filling hole [1] is placed at the right hand side in front
of the motor hood [2] between the footboard [3] and the
running belt [4]. The lower surface (gliding on the deck
surface) of the running belt has a fabric construction and
accumulates the oil until the next interval is due.
