Adjusting the Fall Protection System
After applying the chest-shoulder harness (Sec. 6.3.2 page 24) and connecting the
user to the fall protection system, the rope lengths can be adjusted.
The rope length adjustment plays a major roll in the emergency stop behavior in
case of a fall.
CAUTION
Risk of injury through improper application!
When setting the rope length ensure that the fall protection system does not
relieve the user’s weight or lift of the user, but is only used as fall prevention.
►
The fall protection system rope must not be under tension during therapy.
When adjusting the fall protection system, the user should be in a normal, upright
position on the treadmill directly under the suspension bar. The rope should be as
vertical as possible.
A second person is now to slowly pull the rope to through the rope lock. Locking
must be in the "locked" position, see Fig. 7.
Due to the locking mechanism, the rope can only be pulled in one direction. If the
rope needs to be released, shortly release the locking pawl and pull the rope back
(Fig. 6).
CAUTION
Risk of Injury Due to Incorrect Adjustment
If the rope is set too tightly, it is possible that the emergency stop could be
triggered during training.
►
In this case, extend the rope a bit.
►
The rope clamp must be locked into place.
