INTRODUCTION

Negative side effects
No negative side effects have been recorded or reported
as a result of training with the MOTOmed exercise therapy device.
Notes on the residual risk:
The principle of the MOTOmed movement therapy device is based on
the function of electric motors, which drive the cranks of the arm or
leg trainer with defined forces. The manufacturer has taken extensive
measures to ensure the electrical and functional safety of the
MOTOmed, so that the residual risk is minimal if all safety instructions
are observed.
It is important to note, however, that rotating cranks can cause injury
if the user is negligent, fails to follow the safety instructions, or
misuses the MOTOmed.
Users who are unable to personally implement the safety instructions
or are unable to recognize and avoid hazardous situations themselves
may only train under qualified supervision.
When using the MOTOmed, be sure to observe the safety
precautions listed in section 2.

Safety precautions
General information
Adjust the MOTOmed training to the individual clinical picture. Training
tips by the manufacturer or its distribution partners are not binding.
We cannot specify exactly how you should use the MOTOmed for
the various diseases. This also applies to the details of the training
functions, as the possible settings are dependent on age, height,
individual fitness, postoperative resilience and general condition of the
user.
The MOTOmed should always be used for the first time under the
instruction and supervision of specialized personnel. Prior to the first
training, be sure to discuss the nature, extent, intensity, and timing
of the training with the physician and therapist. When starting the
device, also note the presets of the selected MOTOmed training
program.
Make sure that the user understands the functions and operation of
the MOTOmed and can independently reach, operate and switch off
the MOTOmed during training via the operating panel (especially in
case of arm/upper body training with forearm shell).
Otherwise, the user must not train or place their legs or arms in and
out without supervision. In this case, it is essential to have another
person that continuously supervises the user.
Unauthorised persons (visitors, assistants, etc.) must not make any
changes to the wheelchair, chair or MOTOmed during the training.
After starting the device, reduce the speed if the health of the user
does not allow MOTOmed training with a maximum speed of 20 rpm.

12 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The hand grips, or the foot shells and calf shells of the leg guides, may
generally come into contact with intact skin.
When using fastening straps, wear socks and/or shoes, long pants or
similar textiles. This avoids the direct contact of the skin with the foot
shells or fastening straps and thus prevents bruises, skin irritations and
abrasions.
Training is not recommended if there is a risk of skin abrasions,
pressure points or other injuries that are dependent on the illness,
foot position and adjustment of the leg movements. If the device
is nevertheless used under these circumstances, the user must take
appropriate safety precautions (insertion of buffer material, etc.) in
consultation with the physician and therapist.
In the case of open wounds or the risk of decubitus (e.g. due to
sensitive tissue or skin condition), especially on the body parts that are
in contact with the therapeutic device, MOTOmed training is allowed
only after consultation with the doctor and therapist, or at own risk
of the user. The device manufacturer is not liable for injuries that may
occur if these instructions are not followed.
There may be an increased health risk if the user is under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medicine. In this case, the use of MOTOmed is not
recommended.
In case of pain, nausea, poor circulation, etc., stop training immediately
and consult a doctor. The manufacturer or his sales partners do not
assume any responsibility in case of incorrect or too intensive use by
the user.
Only put your feet in the safety foot shells when sitting down. Do not
step into the foot shells with your whole body weight while standing.
Never load with more than 25 kg (with a pedal radius of 7 cm) per side
of the pedal.

13SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2
One-sided training, either with only one leg or arm or with large
weight differences of the limbs, initially only in the presence of
a caregiver perform. Only carry out one-sided training with a
high braking resistance or using a counterweight provided by the
manufacturer.
Arm / upper body training
In case of a separate arm/upper body training, remove the legs from
the safety shells and place them on the floor or on the footrests of the
wheelchair.
Safety precautions for upper limb ergometry:
In children, bone stability is still relatively low, which can easily lead to
fractures or so-called bulge fractures (incomplete fractures). To reduce
the risk of such an injury, ensure that the wrist is well supported
during upper limb ergometry.
Make sure that the hand, wrist and arm adjustments recommended by
your clinic are always used.
Also, make sure that the child remains seated upright with a view to
the exercise trainer and avoid turning of the forearm and wrist.
If the correct connection of the MOTOmed is not clear to you or if
you have any questions, please contact our staff at MOTOmed Service
Centre.

14 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety and technical information
The MOTOmed is a highly specialized movement therapy device
that is not designed for high-performance sports or for diagnostic
purposes. We recommend using approved and calibrated ergometers
or treadmills for this purpose.
As a electrically powered medical device, the MOTOmed is subject
to special precautions regarding EMC. The EMC instructions must
therefore be observed during installation and commissioning.
Children are not allowed to train without supervision at MOTOmed.
Keep unattended children away from the MOTOmed.
Keep animals away from the MOTOmed to avoid injury to the animal.
Certain electric wheelchairs, stand-up wheelchairs, sports wheelchairs,
etc. with a large stem, or with non-folding or non-removable footrests,
may not be suitable or may need a special, flat, small support base,
which allows driving over.
Train only when the MOTOmed has been switched on.
Do not use the MOTOmed while standing.
Do not alter the position and location of the MOTOmed during exercise
or when the legs or arms have been inserted or attached.
Risk of injury due to falling device
The transport handle is used solely for moving the device and is not
designed for support.
Do not load the MOTOmed sideways. Do not load the hand grips and
handles with the partial or total body weight (e.g. by supporting or
pulling up). The handles and hand grips must only be for holding firmly
with the hands while exercising.
Page 65
CAUTION

15SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2
Risk of injury due to rotating pedal cranks and moving parts of
the device
Do not make any mechanical adjustments (pedal radius, height
adjustment of hand and grab handles or arm/upper body trainer, etc.)
on the MOTOmed while the pedal cranks are turning.
When operating the buttons on the operating panel, also pay attention
to the rotating pedal cranks.
Be careful not to insert your fingers between the housing and the
crank while the pedals are rotating pedal.
Never reach into a piece of equipment that moves!
Before starting the device, make sure that there are no collisions with
the hand grips when the legs are in place.
When changing the pedal radius, the power ratios can change.
If the MOTOmed cannot be switched off with the red stop button or
the On/Off button, immediately reduce the speed to 1 rpm and end
the training or disconnect the mains cable from the socket. A new
training is only possible if the fault has been eliminated.
Portable and mobile RF communication devices, such as mobile phones
or amateur radio stations, can affect the function of the MOTOmed.
Corresponding devices are marked with the adjacent symbol and can
be thus identified.
Danger of overheating the housing parts
Parts of the housing may overheat if permanently exposed to direct
sunlight, so place the MOTOmed appropriately.
CAUTION
CAUTION

16 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The surface temperature of the operating panel housing of is up to
13 °C above the ambient temperature due to the heat dissipation of
the electronic components. Even if not exposed to direct sunlight, the
buttons of the operating panel temperatures may reach up to 53 °C
at the maximum permissible ambient temperature (40 °C). Users who
may be harmed by brief contact with this temperature, should take
appropriate measures for protection.
Danger of damage to engine and electronics
Do not actively press against the passively specified rotary motion.
Risk of injury due to electric shock
Never operate the MOTOmed if the covering has been removed. Never
open the housing or reach into the MOTOmed with metal objects.
Opening the MOTOmed is only permitted for persons with
corresponding specialist training. Before opening the MOTOmed,
always unplug the power plug!
