Driving belt with timing-belt system
Timing belt drives have no automatic belt adjuster. The tension of the timing belt (depending on the model) needs
to be adjusted by the manual belt adjuster or by changing the position of the drive motor.
The driving belt tension can be controlled according to point control of running belt tension:
N
Block the running belt at speed of 1 to 1.5 km/h.
N
No backlash must be between the motor shaft and the driving belt.
N
Check if it is possible to move the drive 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 drive belt must be
adjusted accordingly.
N
The noise (at higher speeds) and the straight position of the driving belt need to be considered.

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
halt when leaving the running surface in emergency cases. Check the anti-skid areas in regular intervals and replace
them at signs of wearing off.

Hygiene, cleansing, cleansing of the interior
For safety reasons switch off the device and pull the plug before cleansing, disinfecting and
before opening it. Pay attention to the instruction manual of the device.
Pay attention to the notes of the operating instructions of the concerning devices and the accessories.
Chemicals needed for application or cleansing have to be stored in appropriate reservoirs because of the danger of
mixing them up. Interior Cleansing is required in intervals of 6 months. Depending on your model lift up the motor hood
by lifting it up or remove bellow from upper frame.
Clean the interior of the running machine by removing the dirt with the help of a vacuum cleaner. Pay special attention to
the ventilation net of the drive motor and the cover of the frequency inverter. At devices with external control unit the
internal space of the control unit must be cleaned as well.
The cleaning of the surfaces of the treadmill can be done with a light moistened cloth. For disinfection h/p/cosmos
recommends Bacillol plus [cos12179]. Before using cleaning and disinfection substances always test the compatibility
of the material at bad viewable places.
In case patients with communicable diseases are treated on the treadmill (or there is only the suspicion for
communicable diseases), the treadmill has to be disinfected at the disrcretion of the doctor or medical stuff before and
after ther treatment.
This covers all parts the patient might have contact to, such as front- and side-handrails, arm support, user terminal
(keyboard and display), emergency stop, chestbelt or other heart rate measurement systems, running belt, emergency
stop with magnet switch, safety harness for fall stop prevention, vest for unweighting system, motor cover, frameparts,
treads, wheelchair ramp, drinking bottle, etc.
Cleaning procedure:
Spray contact surfaces, impact, rub off.
Spray disinfectant on a tissue and rub clean the possibly contaminated area.
Always follow the disinfectants manufacturer’s manual.
