1.4 Personnel Qualifications and Responsibilities
Danger due to Improper Use!
Improper handling of the device can lead to serious personal injury and prop-
erty damage.
► The device may only be operated by persons who have received instruc-
tions from qualified service personnel.
► WOODWAY recommends the use of a training record
(see Section Error! Reference source not found. Page Error!
Bookmark not defined.) for proof of instruction.
The representative is the person or company that is responsible for setting up, using,
and maintaining the device.
The representative of the treadmill is responsible for the regular maintenance and test-
ing as required by law. They are also obligated to provide adequate training/instruction
to the operating personnel. WOODWAY recommends the training be carried out by a
trained and authorized WOODWAY dealer or service partner.
Operators of treadmills for medical applications are persons who use the device and
have the "power of control" over the device. This can be a therapist, sports physician, or
any other supervisor. The operator of a medical device is any person who - regardless of
qualifications - independently uses a medical product in the commercial sector.
The operator is personally responsible for the safety of the user (e.g. patient, test sub-
ject, athlete). Due to the high degree of responsibility these persons have a special obli-
gation to provide information on all aspects of safety of the device and its intended use.
1.5 Intended Use
Danger from Improper Use!
Any improper use and/or other use of the device can lead to dangerous situa-
tions with significant personal injury and/or property damage.
► Only use the treadmill for its intended use.
► Avoid excessive training, as this can lead to injury.
► Read and strictly adhere to all information in the operating instructions.
All listed treadmill types are motorized. They serve to train athletic running training, to
increase stamina and physical fitness, and can be used for running or walking. Please
note that all treadmills that are listed in this manual are athletic training equipment,
which according to EU regulations are not to be used for medical applications.
The operating instructions are an integral part of the treadmill and are to be available to
all users at all times. The exact observance of the instructions is a prerequisite for the in-
tended use of the WOODWAY treadmill.
Risk of Injury Through Risk of Falling!
The motorized treadmill presents the danger of falling.
► Familiarize yourself with treadmill operation and operating principles be-
fore the first training.
► Always use the safety handrail when mounting and dismounting and when
starting training.
