Safety Clearances
The following information is supplied as regional reference data regarding safety
clearances around the exterior of the unit.
- EU: The European EN ISO 20957 Safety Standard requires a 6.5 ft. / 2 m minimum from the rear of the unit to any object or surface and at least as wide as the unit.
- U.S. and other regions: The ASTM International (ASTM ) F2115 - 12 Standard recommends the minimum dimensions to be 1.64 ft. / 0.5 m on each side of the unit and 6.5 ft. / 2 m behind the rearward most portion of the usable moving surface or 6.5 ft. / 2 m behind the furthest rearward obstruction to emergency egress from the unit.
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. Engage mobility wheel. To adjust, loosen the Jam Nut, and turn the Stabilizing Leg until the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Release mobility wheel. Re-tighten the Jam Nut.
Note: Do not adjust leveling leg more than 12mm / 0.47 in. from the home
position.
Note: When one leveling leg isn’t touching the ground, the opposite should
be turned in. This will prevent false incline values and the Mobility wheel not able
to touch
the ground.
Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper
operation. An unbalanced unit may cause striding belt misalignment. A bubble level
is
recommended to ensure proper leveling.
