06 2. Product description.
2.1 Material information
The base frame and the individual elements are made of steel which is
non-corroding and powder-coated. All body supports (except for the knee
pelotte pads) are padded and covered. The covers are made of 100% po-
lyester or polyamide textile substrate, and are flame resistant (according
to DIN EN 1021-1+2).
2.2 Handling and transport
The upright trainer is not designed to be carried, as it is fitted with castors.
Shouldyouhavetocarrytheequipmentduetoobstacles, ensurethatallmo-
ving parts are tightened. Then two people should position themselves next
to the upright trainer, grip it on the left and right of the frame and carry it to
the required location. To transport the upright trainer, reduce all adjustments
to their most compact size (fold up pelvic frame, set lowest height etc.).
2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
The tim. upright trainer is a medical product of risk class 1 for indoors and
is used for upright training with severely impaired or non-existent ability to
stand.
2.3.1 Indications
The tim. upright trainer is designed for users with significantly pronounced
impairment of standing and walking, especially due to:
• Paraplegia
• Advanced multiple sclerosis
• Cerebral paresis
• Muscular dystrophy
The assumption of a standing position with the upright trainer is used to
prepare for walking training and/or to achieve positive eects of an up-
right body position (e.g. with regard to cardiovascular regulation/bone
metabolism/peristalsis/urinary diversion and/or to prevent decubitus,
thrombosis or joint contractures, promotion of head control and arm fun-
ction and improvement of spatial awareness).
If the individual therapy requires a change in location of the upright fra-
me and the spatial conditions permit a change in location, this is possible
with the tim. upright trainer.

07 2. Product description.
2.3.2 Contraindications
In general, the indications for standing should be approved by a doctor or
orthopedist. It should therefore be clarified prior to procurement whether
contraindications exist for the patient. In general, any type of pain
represents a contraindication. No upright trainer care should be
conducted without establishing prior to use whether the patient has an
abnormal foot position which requires medical attention.
Depending on the disease symptoms and therapy, please clarify how long
the user may stand in the upright trainer. The following symptoms may
occur in some cases:
• Circulation problems
• Pain in the leg and back areas
• Spastic seizures
It must also be clarified whether the user can be brought into full standing
position. For many users, only standing in a bent position is possible at first.
Never correct posture using force or strong pressure!

08 2. Product description.
2.4 Use not in accordance with the intended purpose / warning guide-
lines
• Ensure that the upright trainer is used by only one user.
• Never leave the user without supervision in the upright trainer.
• Correct usage of the upright trainer requires precise and careful training
of the accompanying person.
• The max. load (see Point 5) may not be exceeded.
• Do not use the upright trainer if it has defective, worn or missing parts.
• For reasons of fire safety, the upright trainer may not be placed close to
an open fire or any other strong source of heat such as electric
or gas heaters.
• Only use accessories and spare parts made by Schuchmann, otherwise
you will endanger the user.
• Only use the upright trainer if all components have been correctly
mounted and adjusted.
• When adjusting the upright trainer there is the risk of trapping or

Instructions for use aloud so that they understand how to use the
standing exercise trainer.

3.1 Angular adjustment of the central column
The central column can be adjusted
using a gas pressure spring, whereby
the therapy table remains at a preset
angle. Please secure the upright trai-
ner against inadvertent rolling away
by applying the locking devices on the
castors. For angular adjustment, ope-
rate the pushbutton switch (A) located
under the table or the foot pedal (B)
located in the front part of the frame,
depending on which type of the central
column angular adjustment is installed
in the upright trainer. Bring the central
column into the desired position and
release the pushbutton switch or the
foot pedal again. The foot pedal can
be secured against inadvertent ope-
ration with the spring pin (C) (located
on the inside of the foot pedal). To do
this, turn the spring pin (C) until it enga-
ges. If necessary, assist engagement
by moving the foot pedal gently. The
locking eect is cancelled by pulling
out the spring pin (C) and turning it a
quarter turn.
3.2 Height adjustment on the central column
The black inner profile, which is loca-
ted in the upper part on the central
column, can be pulled out and is thus
adjustable in height. In order to ad-
just the carriage in the upper area (D),
loosen the screws (E + F) and bring the
carriage into the required position.
Hold the carriage tightly, otherwise it will slip into the central column under its
own weight.
Only undertake height adjustment if there is no-one in the upright trainer!
