WARNING
Danger of Injury from Using Mounting Aid!
When mounting aids are not removed from the device before
training, it can lead to serious injury.
►
After mounting, remove mounting aid from the device.
►
Store mounting aid in a safe place.
The following further safety measures must be considered:
•
Before using the treadmill, the mounting aid must be removed from behind the treadmill, so
that the safety area behind the treadmill is met (i.e. clear fall area of at least 3 ft. W x 6.5 ft. L
[1 x 2 m]).
•
To prevent damage to the treadmill and the mounting aid, the mounting aid must never come
in contact with the running surface. Observe the mounting aid manufacturer's instructions.
•
The mounting aid may only be used when the treadmill is not running.
•
In order to prevent patients from falling when mounting the treadmill, the supervising person
(e.g. physician, therapist, qualified supervisor) must provide help during mounting in the
application areas of movement therapy / rehabilitation training. The supervisor must be
capable of stopping of the patient from possibly falling when mounting the treadmill.
