TROUBLESHOOTING
Safety instructions for troubleshooting
Only authorized qualified personal is allowed to carry out repair works
on the MOTOmed. For security reasons, please pull the mains cable
from the outlet before starting the maintenance.
In cases of unlisted malfunctions, or if you have any questions, please
refer to the RECK customer service department or to an authorized
MOTOmed representative.
The MOTOmed runs unevenly
Please check the following points:
1. Is the pedal radius set on the same level on both sides?
2. Is the pedal radius set too wide for the level of mobility of the
operator? This leads to an uneven user-specific run.
3. Please check the seating position and posture of the user. You
should sit upright and in a straight alignment with the MOTOmed.
When training from the bedside, the head part of the bed should
be situated a little upward and the user should lay in straight
alignment to the MOTOmed. The distance between you and
the MOTOmed should be such that the legs are not stretched
completely at any time.
4. With hemiplegic patients, pedal movement may be uneven due
to the unevenly affected body sides (especially when using a low
gear).
5. In case of uneven run without feet inserted, authorized qualified
personnel is to examine the drive belt.
6. A range of motion of the ankle joint that is set too far can cause an
uneven run – please reduce the range of motion.
7. An uneven run can possibly be corrected by certain software
adjustments. You can ask the MOTOmed service team for these
instructions.
