8.8
Driving belt with timing belt system (from running deck size 200/75 upwards)
Timing belt drives have no automatic belt adjuster. The tension of the timing belt (depending on the model) must be
adjusted by the manual belt adjuster or by changing the position of the drive motor.
The driving belt tension should be checked in the same way that the running belt tension is checked.
N
Block the running belt at a speed of 1 - 1.5 km/h.
N
Ensure that no backlash occurs between the motor shaft and the driving belt.
N
Try to move the driving belt with thumb and forefinger 90° sidewards by using moderate force. If the angle is
more or less than 90°, the tension is too high or too low and the driving belt must be adjusted.
N
The noise (at higher speeds) and the correct course on the pinion should be considered.
8.9
Side step platforms: check for non-slipping
Each running machine has an anti-skid area on both sides next to the running surface. These step platforms offer safe
footing if it is necessary to suddenly leave the running surface. Check the anti-skid areas at regular intervals and replace
them at signs of wear and tear.
8.10
Hygiene and cleansing
N
For safety reasons, switch off the device and pull the plug before cleansing, disinfecting and
before opening.
N
Pay attention to the safety notes, warnings and precautions of the running machine, the
accessories and the disinfectant.
The h/p/cosmos devices are neither sterile nor can they be sterilized.
Pay attention to the operating instructions of the respective devices and accessories. Chemicals needed for application
or cleansing should be stored in appropriate reservoirs so as not to confuse them.
The surfaces of the treadmill can be cleaned with a light moistened cloth. For disinfection h/p/cosmos recommends
Bacillol plus
which can be ordered from h/p/cosmos, order number
[cos12179]
. Before use of cleaning and disinfection
substances, always test the compatibility of the substance at poorly visible places.
In the event that patients with communicable diseases use the treadmill, the treadmill must be disinfected at the
discretion of the doctor or medical stuff before and after the treatment. This must also be done when a communicable
disease is merely presumed. This covers all parts the patient may have contacted, such as front and side handrails, arm
support, UserTerminal (keyboard and display), emergency stop, chest belt or other heart rate measurement systems,
running belt, emergency stop with magnet switch, safety harness for fall stop prevention, vest of unweighting system,
motor cover, frame parts, treads, wheelchair ramp, drinking bottle, etc.
8.10.1
Cleansing of outside and applied parts
Spray contact surfaces, impact, wipe and rub off. Spray disinfectant onto a tissue and rub clean any surfaces that may
be contaminated.
Always follow the manual of the disinfectant manufacturer, especially the safety warning and regulations regarding
disposal.
