WARNING
Risk of Injury Through Falling!
During training, especially during the initial use of the device there is a danger
of injury from falling.
► Familiarize yourself with treadmill operation before the first training.
► It is absolutely necessary that you hold on to the safety railing during the
first training program until you can move safely on the treadmill.
5.1 Running Surface
The walking surface belt consists of individual slats which are mounted on a set of
wedged-toothed belts.
The individual slats consist of two components: A rubber surface and a T-shaped
aluminum base. Due to the approximately 1 cm thick rubber surface and the alumi-
num T-slat, WOODWAY devices have the "world's most ideal running surface for
treadmills". Due to the rubber running surface the majority of the impact energy is
absorbed and local pain in extremities which is associated with long runs is reduced.
The interaction between the belt system and the transport system prevents friction
and heat generation. This increases service life of the running belt and the entire
treadmill.
The WOODWAY running surface differs fundamentally from running belts on con-
ventional treadmills (for which cotton-nylon belts are normally used). On your
WOODWAY treadmill you may initially notice higher surface grip than you have ex-
perienced before. The more you use your treadmill, the more you will get used to
the grip. As with all treadmills, it is also important on a WOODWAY treadmill not to
shuffle your feet if possible.
5.2 Transport System
The carrier system consists of two support rail units, with steel wire reinforced
endless side belts and guide rollers with toothed rings and a diameter of about 18
cm. The carrier rails support the running surface and are essential for the reduction
of wear and friction of the belts.
The two endless side belts fill several important functions: They hold the individual
slats together, transfer the force between the drive and the runner and prevent the
running surface from slipping to the left or right. The two carrier rails consist of
three main parts: The carrier rail, the individual bearings and the roller guides. The
smooth portion of the side belts runs along the bearings and roller guides.
The carrier rail supports all bearings and guide rollers and distributes the load
evenly on the running surface. The guide rollers on each side prevent tracking
errors and support the running surface belt. The individual bearings on either side
also distribute the load over the entire running surface.
The toothed rollers serve to transfer the load to and from the motor and to prevent
the running surface from slipping. The forward roller unit has an additional toothed
pulley, which is used for the motor. The rollers have high load-bearing blocks, which
also reduce friction.
The transport system design provides for almost no friction.
