10. OPERATING THE TREADMILL
Guidelines for Safe Operation
Before permitting anyone to use the treadmill, warn them of the risk of falling during exercise. Remind
them to exercise caution during use. Instruct them in the safe and proper use of the treadmill as described
below.
Keep the treadmill area clear. Maintain a minimum open space of 1.5 feet (0.5 meter) on each side and
6 feet (2 meters) at the rear.
Be sure the power plug is connected to an approved, dedicated AC outlet.
Ensure that the handrails are securely attached.
Instruct the patient to always face the front of the treadmill when stepping on or off the belt. Do not step
onto the belt while facing the side of the treadmill.
Never place chairs or other objects on the treadmill.
Allow sufficient room for patients to maneuver around the system and to safely mount and dismount the
treadmill.
Ensure the patient understands the proper treadmill mount and dismount procedure.
Do not leave a patient unattended on the treadmill.
Patients and clinicians should secure long hair and loose clothing before using and operating the treadmill.
Do not press
Start Belt
when anyone is standing on the treadmill belt. Be sure all patients are so
instructed.
Have the patient straddle the treadmill belt or stand on the deck’s edge at start up.
Keep speed and grade at minimum settings when getting on and off the treadmill. Instruct patients to check
speed and grade before stepping onto the belt.
Do not remove the treadmill hood or place your hands beneath the treadmill while the treadmill is plugged
into a power source.
Regularly inspect cables and treadmill belts for wear or damage.
Have the patient hold the handrail and step off to the side of the treadmill at end of test.
Properly train new staff.
Mortara recommends that a copy of these pages be posted near the treadmill or that this information be made readily
available in some way. This is not, however, a substitute for proper training of patients by the clinician.
A copy of the safety guidelines is available as a laminated card for convenient posting,
P/N 042111-001.
Controls
All commands are entered by pressing a key on the controller. The treadmill cannot operate when the controller
power is off.
WARNING!
The Power key on the controller does not turn off the electrical current to the treadmill. The treadmill
continues to draw power, even when the controller is off. To avoid electric shock, do not remove the
treadmill hood or place your hands beneath the treadmill while the treadmill is plugged into a power
source.
