6 Assembling and Maintaining the RBK 615 Recumbent Exercise Bike
SPACING—The below minimum spacing
recommendations are based on a combination of the
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount:
Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the
machine.
Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and
0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.
Careful consideration should be given to the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of
the facility. The facility should consider the total space
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to
change at any time.
Important: These spacing recommendations should be used
when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such
as radiators, heat registers, and stoves. Avoid temperature
extremes.
Keep equipment away from water and moisture. Avoid
dropping anything on or spilling anything inside the
equipment to prevent electric shock or damage to the
electronics.
When using the treadmill, always attach the safety clip to
your clothing before beginning your workout. Failure to
use the safety clip may pose a greater risk of injury in the
event of a fall.
Keep in mind that heart rate monitors are not medical
devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement,
may affect the accuracy of the heart rate readings. The
heart rate monitors are intended only as exercise aids in
determining heart rate trends in general.
Do not operate electrically powered equipment in damp
or wet locations.
Never operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped,
damaged, or exposed to water. Call for service
immediately if any of these conditions exist.
