Function Description
Despite compliance with all safety requirements, there is till the risk of injury to the
user when using a treadmill. During intense exercises and practices, or prolonged
exercise duration, the user's constitution and concentration can decrease which in-
creases the risk of falling. There is an increased risk of injury from falling, especially
in rehabilitation where patients with various physical limitations use the treadmill.
To minimize the risk of injury on the treadmill, a fall protection system with
•
a suspension frame,
•
a chest-shoulder harness,
•
and an emergency stop system
can prevent the user from falling. The use of a fall protection system can prevent
serious injury/abrasions which are caused by the impact of the whole body on the
moving running surface or backwards movement.
The additional integration of the fall protection system in the emergency stop
control circuit, causes the tread to stop immediately in case of a fall.
In addition to the emergency stop function, the fall protection system catches the
user in case of a fall.
The chest-shoulder harness is designed so that the body cannot tip forward. The
harness does not cut into the user or constricted the user's movement. The chest-
shoulder harness is available in sizes S, M, and L and is connected via a pull line
(rope) with emergency stop system on the suspension frame. If there is more than
15 kg force on the emergency stop system, the treadmill stops immediately. The
maximum body weight (working load) is 200 kg. The length of the line (rope) can
be individually adjusted to different body sizes.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of injury from not observing the weight limit!
If too little weight is applied the emergency stop will not be triggered! There
is a danger of injury!
►
The PPS fall protection system may not be used below a weight of 15 kg.
