Emergency Stop Button
The emergency stop button (mushroom type) is mounted on the right-hand railing (as seen from
walking direction) of all PPS Series devices. Activating the emergency stop system causes immediate
power disconnection to the drive system. The running surface comes to a stop in a reasonably short
time, without causing further danger to the runner by braking too suddenly. It is recommended that
one familiarize oneself with the treadmill's braking performance (emergency stop) at various speeds.
Fig. 17 Emergency stop button, functions
1.
Trigger the emergency stop function by pressing down the red mushroom
2.
Release by firmly pulling the red mushroom up
On treadmills with a reverse direction function, the emergency stop button has a magnetic mount
and can be freely positioned on the railing. Before starting a workout, ensure that the emergency
stop button can always be reached by the runner or the treadmill operator.
Device users must always be positioned so that they can reach the emergency stop button in any
situation.
WARNING
Danger of Injury due to Incorrectly Placed Emergency Stop Button!
For treadmills with reversible direction, the position of the emergency
stop button should always be on the runner’s right side. Otherwise, the
magnet cannot release correctly, limiting the function of the safety
device.
►
Always position the emergency stop button in the patient's running
direction.
►
If the running direction is reversed, the emergency stop button must
be repositioned (in front of the patient).
