1 Introduction to the Equipment

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Treadmill 800 Series. This state-of-

the-art equipment represents the best current technology in Fitness, Sports

Applications, and Cardiorespiratory Diagnostic Exercise Systems.

1.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual covers all aspects of the installation, operation and maintenance of

the 870 A, 870 S and 870 C Treadmills. It provides the necessary instructions to

guarantee correct and safe operations.

This manual should be kept with the treadmill at all times.

If you have a question regarding the operation or maintenance of the treadmill,

consult the manual first. If your question remains unanswered, please call the

Manufacturer, directly.

1.2 INTENDED USE

These treadmills have been specifically designed to be used in connection to a

variety of medical applications such as motor function, rehabilitation programs,

breathing and stress tests, and cardiorespiratory diagnostic exercise systems.

Used as indicated, the treadmills can be considered as supplementary

components for diagnostic purposes, and must be handled and maintained

under supervision by adequately qualified personnel. Typical environments for

these treadmills are outpatient cardiologic clinics, hospital wards and outpatient

departments for motor function rehabilitation.

The extraordinary versatility of these treadmills allows them to be used by a

wide range of people that wish to enjoy daily use of a treadmill for general

fitness purposes, progressive muscle exercises, and weight control.

The treadmill allows you to exercise in a safe environment, with adequate

space, and with simple fingertip control of all important parameters, including

speed.

Use of a treadmill eliminates many of the risks associated with outdoor

exercise. Most importantly, there is no risk of muscular trauma caused by the

asperity of the ground, because of the shock-absorbing deck. It also avoids

problems and inconveniences associated with climatic conditions and air

pollution.

These instruments were specifically designed to be compatible with other

Manufacturer’s Cardiorespiratory Diagnostic Exercise Systems, and for use in

Motor Rehabilitation Centres. In such configuration the treadmill becomes a

passive device of a diagnostic system and can be used by adequately qualified

personnel only.

TREADMILLS MOD. 870A/870S/870C

Rev.1/01.07.2019

3.3 MOUNTING

Three people are required to lift the treadmill from its wooden pallet. It is

recommended that two people lift the treadmill from the hood end, the third near

the end roller.

WARNING!

Do not try to use the treadmill on the pallet. When lifting the treadmill, lift

it from the lateral frames of the body. Do NOT lift it from the plastic hood,

or from the back roller. Failure to comply with this recommendation may

result in damage to the equipment.

Once the treadmill is removed from the crate, it can be moved to the exercise

area by rolling it on its front wheels. If it is necessary to move the treadmill over

a rough surface (for example a pavement), use a trolley to avoid damage to the

wheels. Position the treadmill on a smooth, level, stable surface. Ensure the

weight capacity of the surface is adequate for both the treadmill, and the

additional weight of the user. Short pile, industrial carpet is acceptable. The

front wheels must be free and not restricted to ensure that the treadmill can

incline correctly. Do not place the treadmill on thick or long pile carpet. If

necessary, place a metal or hard plastic plate under the front wheels to ensure

stability.

Eventually, to put the treadmill in a horizontal position, you can adjust the height

of the back support feet of the treadmill.
