2.2.6 Prohibited Use

Improper and/or prohibited use of the measuring system is impermissible and zebris
warn explicitly against all prohibitions included in this section.

Do not try to service the treadmill in any manner other than that described in this User
Manual. By the removal of the protective covers it is possible that you could expose
yourself to lethal high voltages or other hazards.

We also point out that if any changes are made to this certified device or its accessories
without the prior written consent of zebris, your legal right to operate the device will be
void. If changes are made to the device without obtaining approval, the operator is obli-
gated to carry out suitable investigations and tests in order to guarantee safe use.

It is prohibited to install the treadmill within a cavity in order to reduce track access
height. This way of installation might create a highly dangerous capture area at the rear
shaft of the treadmill. The manufacturer expressively will undertake no liability for inju-
ries to any person when the treadmill is operated under such condition!

All applications using wheels are prohibited (cycling, wheelchair, inline skating or roll
ski) as well as running shoes with spikes or studs. Besides their extremely high risk of
injury, these can cause irreparable damage to the sensors.

There should never be more than one person on the treadmill at a time once it is in op-
eration.

Children and animals are not allowed to use the treadmill without supervision and must
be at a distance away from the device of at least 5m.

Any manner of over-exerting the test persons is strictly prohibited. In cases of nausea
and dizziness, the measuring is to be discontinued immediately and a doctor consulted.

Any form of operation involving an increased hazard is strictly prohibited, e.g. sprinting,
or also using test persons with a higher risk.

The use of the measuring system under the influence of alcohol, drugs or narcotics is
strictly prohibited.

zebris measuring systems may not be operated in any other environmental conditions to
those listed in the section, "Specifications", (e.g. in wet zones, moisture-prone areas, or
in climatic, vacuum, hyperbaric or decompression chambers, etc.). Direct contact with
liquids must always be avoided, as the measuring system is not protected against enter-
ing liquids. Liquids entering the device can cause fire, electric shock or other severe ac-
cidents.
