ATTENTION
Before Using the Ramp Ensure:
►
That there are no tripping hazards on the ramp.
►
Appropriate footwear is worn, so that persons do not slip on the ramp.
►
Suspension system carabiners (weights) can cause head injuries.
►
When positioning patients (especially patients who cannot stand) on the
running surface, two therapists must be available. One therapist operates
the cranks and one therapist helps the patient to stand up.
►
The therapist seat must lock into place.
►
The width adjustment must be locked into place.
►
Secure the wheelchair on the ramp by fixing the brake.
►
When positioning and removing the patient the running surface must be
standing still.
During performance tests or intense-interval or sprint training (Treadmill with
LokoStation) additional runner safety is to be provided (Since the ramp is in position
there is no fall area behind the treadmill so the additional locking brake is to be
used). For this application WOODWAY requires the use of the optional fall protec-
tion (chest strap for runners suspended in the LokoStation) in order to minimize the
risk of injury.
For more information see the PPS series operating instructions.

Suspension Rope Width Adjustment
The width of the suspension ropes is to be adjusted according to the patient's phys-
ical condition.
The width adjustment is made using the provided adjusting hook. It is fixed to the
side of the housing.
The pulleys for the suspension ropes are located on the underside of the wing.
These can be moved along the guide rail. The width adjustment is to be made as
follows:
1.
Using the winch (with LokoStation ELVETA remote control), let the suspension
ropes down to the patient's approximate shoulder height.
2.
Move the patient directly under the suspension ropes and attach the carabiner
to the harness.
NOTE
The first two suspension rope pulleys (coming from the harness and mounted
on the wing) are to be adjusted to match the width of the patient's shoulders.
When setting the width ensure that the ropes are not under tension.
For Performance
Tests Ensure!
