Woodway PATH - Disabling the Treadmill

03/2016 – UM-MT-EN-01 125
9.5 Disabling the Treadmill
Disabling is required if the safety of the treadmill is not guaranteed or if it is suggested
that this could be the case.
A device must be disabled if the following symptoms occur:
 Unusual noises
 Appearance of smoke
 Uncontrolled stopping or accelerating of the treadmill
 Rocking of the running surface belt
 Damage to slats or other mechanical damage
 Spilling of liquid on the treadmill
 Other symptoms/situations which could cause danger to the user/operator
Disabling can also be requested of WOODWAY Customer Service by telephone. In this
case, the treadmill representative is obliged to carry out the disabling and to confirm
with WOODWAY Customer Service in writing.
Exceeding the test periods by several months (see previous chapter) also makes tempo-
rary disabling of the treadmill necessary.
ATTENTION
The representative is responsible for property damage or personal damages
caused by incorrectly disabling or not disabling the treadmill.
The disabling of the treadmill must be such that an unintentional and/or unauthorized
restart can be ruled out and that the name of person who is authorized to put the
treadmill back into operation can be seen.
The representative is to disable medical treadmills in the following situations:
 There is reasonable suspicion of danger to the health and safety of patients, em-
ployees, or third parties
 Defects exist that could endanger patients, employees, or third parties
The removal of the power plug from the outlet alone is not sufficient for the disabling of
the treadmill, since third persons who have not been informed about the disabling could
plug the treadmill back into the power supply and use it.
The following measures must therefore be taken to disable a WOODWAY medical tread-
mill:
1. The unit must be turned off and the power plug must be unplugged from the wall
socket (disconnected).
2. The treadmill must be marked "disabled" in a clear manner such as: "CAUTION
DANGER OF INJURY" and the notice must be clearly displayed. In addition, the date
of disabling, reason for disabling, and name of the person/organization that disa-
bled must be specified.
3. It must be determined which authorized person - possibly after maintenance and
repairs - may start up the treadmill again.
4. The fuses must be removed from the power supply box and kept in a safe place.
Attach one of the following safety labels to the treadmill power supply fuse box.
5. Apply the second safety label to the plug of the power cord.
