Safety Equipment

The WOODWAY treadmills are equipped with different safety equipment depending on
model and design. When needed, they serve to prevent dangerous situations and reduce
the risk of injury to a minimum. The following safety equipment is available:
 Emergency stop pull-cord with magnetic switch on the display
 PAUSE and STOP buttons on display (and handrail on some models)
 Non-slip coating on side panels (allows emergency dismount by straddling)
Dangerous Situations During Operation Can Cause Injury!
Conditions during use of the device that do not correspond to the normal
function and require an immediate stop can cause injury. Each actuation of
the emergency stop switch causes a power disconnection to the drive system
which in turn causes the running surface to emergency stop, which presents
an additional risk of falling.
► Immediate emergency stopping of the device/drive
► Switching off the device (power button) and pulling the power cord from
the socket
► Clarification and elimination of causes of dangerous situations only by the
WOODWAY Customer Service
► Only restart the device after approval by WOODWAY Customer Service
The emergency stop switch is a magnetic contact switch, which is attached in the run-
ning direction on the display head. The circuit is closed through a magnet. As soon as
the magnet tears off the contact-free surface, an interruption of the power supply will
initiate an emergency stop.
The magnet is secured to the runner's clothing by a clip on a lanyard/pull-cord. It should
be fixed to a tight piece of clothing (e.g. waistband).
The safety magnet can also be used to immobilize the treadmill and prevent a third party
from using the device. To prevent the use of the treadmill, for example when not super-
vised, the safety magnet with pull-cord can be stored in a safe place and the treadmill
cannot be put into operation.
The pull-cord is not fall protection and cannot prevent a person from falling on the
treadmill. It only serves as an emergency stop in dangerous situations. When the mag-
net is released, the drive system is disconnected from the power and an emergency stop
is initiated.
There is an increased risk of falling (e.g. during performance diagnostics, intense sprint-
ing, and long runs). There is an increased risk of injury from falling, especially in reha-
bilitation where patients with various physical limitations use the treadmill.
Danger of Injury due to Improperly Installed Pull-Cord!
If the pull-cord is not installed properly before a workout, the emergency stop
magnetic switch will not be triggered and there is a risk of injury in the event
of a dangerous situation.
► The use of the pull-cord is mandatory.
► Securely attach clip to tight clothing before starting the workout.
► Adjust the length of the pull-cord with rope stopper to the shortest possi-
ble setting, while ensuring that movement is still unrestricted.
