SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS

For safety reasons the external mains supply must not be attached to
the transportation mounting during training but must be placed on
the floor beside the MOTOmed.
In order to avoid fire hazard or electrical shock the MOTOmed must
never be operated if the casing has been removed. The MOTOmed must
never be operated in a wet or humid environment. The MOTOmed must
never be operated by any unqualified person and metal objects must
never be inserted.
Portable and mobile communication devices, like mobile phones
or amateur radio stations can influence the functionality of the
MOTOmed. Such devices carry the symbol illustrated on the left side
and can thus be recognized.
The MOTOmed is a highly specialized movement therapy system for
therapeutic use. Thus, it is not suitable for high-performancesports or
designing of fiagnosis concepts. In this case we recommend approved
and calibrated medical ergometers or treadmills. Please note that due
to inexactness of measured values, the
pulse control Cardio16 (item
no. 275,000/276,000)
should not be used for automatic resistance
level control with sensible cardiac patients.
In order to avoid overheating of the casing you must not expose the
MOTOmed to long-term direct solar radiation. Further you must not
block actively against the passive motion as this could damage the
motor and the electronics.
Due to the thermal output, the surface temperature of the operating
panel may be up to 11° C higher than the surrounding temperature.
Even at the maximum surrounding temperature (40° C / 104° F) and
without direct radiation this may cause the buttons to heat up to a
temperature of 51° C / 124° F. User who are at risk for injuries at this
temperature should protect themselves accordingly.
