6 Maintenance and safety inspections
■
Scheduled maintenance of the system is essential to prevent damage and
guarantees the safety of the device. All processes concerning maintenance
and disinfection of the device should be carried out regularly.
■
Should any malfunctions and/or defects be determined or suspected, the device must be put out of
operation immediately, marked as
“Out of Service”
and prevented from being used by removing
the mains cable. In such case be sure to contact the manufacturer or an authorized sales partner.
■
All maintenance and repair work of the measuring system or of single components that
goes beyond the activities described in this user manual must exclusively be carried out by
zebris Medical GmbH or a person who has been explicitly authorized by zebris to do so.
■
Be sure to switch off the measuring system and disconnect it from mains supply before starting
any maintenance work.
6.1. General maintenance procedures
■
Immediate maintenance procedures are to be carried out if:
a) Fluid enters the device.
b) Cable or cable connections have been damaged.
c) Covers have been damaged or have fallen off.
d) The running belt shows any signs of wear or cracks.
e) The running belt no longer runs centrally.
f) The sliding surface underneath the treadmill belt is no longer sufficiently lubricated.
g) A malfunction or a defect is suspected or has been detected.
■
Check regularly (approx. every 25 operating hours) whether all the screws are tight, the belt tension
is sufficient, and the running belt is correctly centered. For the exact sequence of these maintenance
procedures, please refer to the user manual supplied by the treadmill manufacturer.
■
To keep the friction between the running belt and the FDM-T sensor as low as possible, the sys-
tem must be lubricated at regular intervals with silicone oil. zebris recommends lubricating at least
every 6 months. For detailed information concerning the lubrication procedure please refer to
the user manual of the treadmill manufacturer.
■
Should the treadmill be relocated to another place, it is necessary to check that the belt is running
correctly. The belt should always run centrally on the rear guide pulley.
■
After a longer period of use, or if the adjustment is suboptimal, the belt can loosen and with every
step, a jolt can occur between the drive shaft and the belt. This can possibly influence the measuring
result of the system. Therefore, control the belt tension regularly in accordance with the instructions
supplied by the treadmill manufacturer.
■
Should you hear “mechanical knocking sounds” during operation, check whether the device is
standing level on the ground as incorrectly adjusted feet may often cause knocking noises.
