1 - Intended Use
This device is intended to be used as a stress test device in a medical environment. The main goal of
the use of the devices is to create reproducible stress tests. With cycling ergometers typically workload
(watt) is imposed. With treadmills typically speed (km/h) and inclination (% grade) are imposed. This
product is designed both for manual operation and for control by external ECG-, pulmonary
equipment. Most likely this device will be used in conjunction with another medical device to obtain
other important physiological data, allowing a physician to evaluate a test subjects physical status.
The product may also be used for rehabilitation or active aging therapy.
As such the intended use of the device solely cannot be defined specifically.
The device has to be operated under the supervision of well-trained medical specialists in the field of
use.
The ultimate judgment whether a test subject should undertake a stress test with the device must be
made by the responsible medical specialist, based on the limitations of each individual, the medical
history and all other applicable circumstances. Neither the manufacturer nor its distributors assume
any responsibility for the final use of its equipment.
2 - Precautions
Read this manual before using the device and follow it
carefully.
The operator should instruct the test subject prior to
performing an exercise protocol. If, at any time during
exercise, the test subject feels faint, dizzy, or experiences
pain, stop the test and he or she should be consulted by the
physician.
Care should be taken in mounting or dismounting the
ergometer. Be aware of feet when replacing the ergometer.
The operator should not touch accessible parts and the
patient simultaneously.
3/22M938901/938903_MANUAL VALIANT 2 REHAB (XL) / VERSION: V1.1 - 2016-08-25

The test subject should always wear the belt of the lanyard
safety belt.
Replacement of the power supply cord should be installed by
authorised service personnel, instructions for correct
connection and anchoring must be ensured, securing that
the requirements of clause 8.11.3 of IEC 60601 1:2005 are
met.
Set up and operate the device on a solid level surface.
The test subject should not wear loose or dangling clothing
while using the device.

The test subject shall wear clothes when using the harness or
the lanyard belt to prevent skin irritation.
Replacement of parts can only be done by the manufacturer
or designated service personnel.
4/22M938901/938903_MANUAL VALIANT 2 REHAB (XL) / VERSION: V1.1 - 2016-08-25

of authorized persons.
Your device may be executed with heart rate measurement,
blood pressure measurement, and / or SpO2 (blood
saturation) measurement. These measurements may be
inaccurate, depending on use circumstances. These
measurements are indicative and cannot be used for
diagnostic purposes.

8/22M938901/938903_MANUAL VALIANT 2 REHAB (XL) / VERSION: V1.1 - 2016-08-25

6.1 - Emergency stop installation
When your treadmill is delivered with an emergency stop, please note
the following:
The plug of the emergency stop button needs to be placed in the back
connector of the console on the front handrail.
Some emergency stop buttons have a connector for another emergency
stop. You can place the spare dummy there in case you have one
button.
Also make sure that the magnet of the emergency lanyard is connected to the console.Otherwise the
treadmill will not operate.
7 - Maintenance
Maintenance should be carried out on a regular and planned basis. We recommend to check the unit
annually. This may be done by your local dealer. It is also recommended that a record of the service
history is kept for all activities relating to service and maintenance.
Maintenance and all repairs should only be carried out by an authorized agency. The manufacturer will
not be held responsible for the results of maintenance or repairs by unauthorized persons.
The check up and/or technical maintenance must be carried out conform the procedure described in
the service manual of the unit.
Opening of the equipment by unauthorized agencies is not allowed and will terminate any claim to
warranty.
Lode will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration
instructions, or other information that will assist authorized service personnel to repair those parts of
the ergometer that are designated by Lode as repairable by authorized service personnel.
8 - Troubleshooting
For a complete overview of possible error message and the solutions belonging to these messages,
please consult the service manual of the ergometer.
9/22M938901/938903_MANUAL VALIANT 2 REHAB (XL) / VERSION: V1.1 - 2016-08-25

8.1 - Belt alignment
Place the allen key on the left
bolt while standing behind the
treadmill as shown on the
picture.
Adjusting the belt tension is
very easy with the key on the
left side. Turning the key
clockwise will make the belt
move to the right side of the
treadmill. Turning the key
counterclockwise will make the
belt go left.
The red marked area shows where you can check the belt alignment. The goal is to align the belt edge
exactly in the center of the hole.
10/22M938901/938903_MANUAL VALIANT 2 REHAB (XL) / VERSION: V1.1 - 2016-08-25

Now start the treadmill with a
speed of 2 km/h. Make
corrections with the allen tool
to the belt alignment so the
edge of the belt stays in the
middle of the hole.
When the belt is properly
aligned you may repeat the
above procedure on higher
speeds. But be cautious; higher
speeds will have a faster
implementation of the belt
alignment when turning the
allen key. Always start with the
2km/h so you can timely intervene is the belt goes to one side quickly.
To finalize the alignment procedure set the treadmill to maximum speed for 2 minutes and check the
alignment of the belt.
Note: NEVER use any lubricants on the walking belt. The belt is self greasing using a wax layer that will
dispose on the deck on high friction points and on higher speeds. The belt does not need to be re-
waxed and runs the complete lifetime of aproximately 10.000km. Incorrect tension, alignment and/or
use can decrease the lifetime of the belt.
9 - Cleaning
The belt can be cleaned with a sponge, with little lukewarm water. Allow the belt to dry thoroughly
after cleaning before re-using the treadmill.
11/22M938901/938903_MANUAL VALIANT 2 REHAB (XL) / VERSION: V1.1 - 2016-08-25

Before cleaning and other maintenance of any part of the device, first switch off the device and
disconnect it from the mains. The surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a liquid (non-
abrasive) cleaning product.
General Cleaning
Wipe the device surface down with a cloth moistened with soap water or a disinfectant. The cloth
should not be dripping wet; do not allow liquids to enter the device
Cleaning the Saddle
Clean the saddle with a soft and dry or moist cloth. Disinfectants used should not contain any alcohol.
Cleaning the Upholstery (e.g. couch ergometer)
Wipe the upholstery down with a soft cloth moistened with soap water. The cloth should only be moist
and not dripping wet. If the cleaning agents and disinfectants used are caustic or contain alcohol, they
may damage and/or discolor the upholstery.
If you are not certain about the discolouring effect of a cleaning agent, you may try a little on a part of
the product that is not visible during normal use.
Lode cannot advise a specific cleaning agent, since local recipes may differ.
10 - Control with an External Device
If your device is fitted with a communication card you can connect to many external devices.
1. Connect the device with the supplied cable to the external device. You can control the device with
e.g. an exercise ECG device or Metabolic Card.
2. Download the interfacing instructions from the internet at www.lode.nl after you have registered
your device.
3. If your device has a control unit, select “Terminal”- mode to allow external commands. When the
device does not have a control unit the terminal mode is automatically selected. (See for detailed
instructions the user manual of your external device).
