3 Safety instructions

3.1

Safety aspects

Safe execution of the procedures in this manual requires technical experience and a general knowledge
of safety precautions as well as a general knowledge of the human locomotor system.
Warnings, Cautions and Notes have been used throughout the manual to bring special matters to the
reader's immediate attention.
•
A Warning concerns danger to the safety of the user or technician;
•
A Caution concerns an act that might damage the equipment;
•
A Note highlights a statement that deserves more emphasis than the general text, but which
does not merit a Warning or a Caution.
It is important to follow the correct sequence of Crosswalkers in a procedure to ensure safe handling of
the equipment and the prevention of damage. Never, therefore, change the sequence of a procedure.

3.2.1

Warnings

•
This cardiovascular training equipment is intended for use under (para)medical supervision.
•
The operator shall take notice of the physical and mental condition of the patient and, to his
judgement, decide whether exercising is admissible.
•
Stop the training immediately if your patient feels unwell or dizzy, or if he/she experiences
symptoms of cardiac pathology!
•
Check that you patient is complying with the pre-set maximum heart rate limit, and stop the
training immediately if this limit is exceeded.
•
When using the Polar® chest strap, a sufficient distance (at least 1.5 metres) must be allowed
between users. If not, there is a risk that the pulse measurement will be distorted.
•
In case of a dermatological condition, injured skin shall never contact the keyboard, heart-rate
sensor, ear sensor, seat, handlebar or pedals.
•
In case of patiënts with cardiac pathology are going to train on your Crosswalker than the
integrated heartrate sensor should not be used. Heartrate measurement by means of an ECG
system is more appropriate.
3.2.2

Caution:

•
A check shall be carried out on the packaging and on the device and for deterioration, before
putting the Crosswalker into use.
•
The Crosswalker must be connected to a 230V/50Hz outlet. If the wrong voltage is used then the
Crosswalker can be damaged or may function incorrectly.
•
The Crosswalker shall not be installed in a location near a heat source. Exposure to direct
sunlight shall be avoided.
•
The device shall not be used in close proximity (i.e. less than 5 metres) of short-wave and
microwave equipment.
•
Never insert your hand under the cover! Through the open underside you can come into contact
with the drive mechanism, the belt or the brake.
•
When any maintenance or service work is being performed and whenever the side-cover of the
housing is removed the Crosswalker must be disconnected from the mains!
•
An uneven surface can adversely affect the generally very high level of stability of the
Crosswalker. Correct adjustment of the rubber feet can guarantee the Crosswalker's stability.
