Devices with UserTerminal & automatic oil pump (models "r" for cycle & wheelchair)
Running machines which are designed for cycling and wheelchair use are equipped with an automatically
controlled oil-pump and an oil tank.
The oil tank is located in the external control unit of the device below at the left. For devices constructed before
2002 and without external control unit, the oil tank is located at the rear of the machine, close to the drive engine.
The picture shows the oil pump with the valve cock (red
arrow). The valve for running deck lubrication is to be
positioned horizontally or vertically, depending on the
application on the running surface (see illustrations next
page). The valve cock should always be rotated up to the
mechanical stop. Intermediate positions are not allowed
and can result in serious damage to the machine.
The correct quantity and quality of oil is especially
important for running machines designed for cycling and
wheelchair applications. For those models a lubrication
test (tissue-test) according the instructions (available
from h/p/cosmos) should be performed during the
obligatory yearly maintenance. The test should be sent
back to h/p/cosmos for evaluation.
User cooperation and inspection obligation:
User cooperation and inspection is mandatory especially
for treadmills designed for cycling and wheelchair
application (all types of point loads on the running
surface or the running belt). The lubrication quantity and quality between running belt and running surface should
be monitored replenished as necessary. See separate instruction entitled “lubricant test”.
N
Warning! Only special treadmills with special labelling are adapted for cycling and
wheelchair applications! Treadmills which are not designed for cycling and wheelchair
use or for use with spikes or ski sticks will be damaged by such applications.
N
Due to environmental influences, interior climate and type of application (for example
frequent short-run operation or infrequent long-run operation, etc.), the required
automatic oil setting of the treadmill can deviate extensively from the factory setting.
N
In the event that the machine is not supplied with the required lubrication quantity and
quality, premature damage of running belt and surface may occur. In this case warranty
will expire.
