• Do regular (weekly) checks to make sure that the setting options on the product work.
• Be careful of the moving parts when adjusting or folding the product.

• Before each use check that all the nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
• Please do not overload the product and note the maximum user weight and the maximum load capacity (see techni-
cal data).
• Never leave the user unattended with the product.
• The product should only be used by one user at a time. No other individuals should be placed in or on the product.
• All users have to be familiar with how the product works. This way in an emergency the user can be removed
quickly from the product.
• The gait trainer should only be used on a level, horizontal and firm surface. Be aware of unevenness and holes in the
floor. There is a risk of tipping over or becoming stuck.
• Do not hang heavy bags or other objects on the product because this increases the risk of tipping.
• Always make sure the brake / parking brake is working before using the product. If the brake isn't working right, the
product shouldn't be used.
• The parking brake always has to be engaged when putting the user into or taking the user out of the product.
• When stopping briefly or for a longer time, use the brake so the product doesn't accidently roll away.
• Wet tyres can have a negative impact on braking.
• If you are not using the product, don't leave the brake engaged. Leaving the parking brake constantly engaged can
damage the tyres.
• Intense sunlight and heat can lead to high surface temperatures on the product. As a result, there is a risk of injury
when touching the product. Only use the product once it has cooled down enough. In general, try to protect the
product from direct sunlight.
• The pad elements must not be eaten.
• When accessory parts are removed tube ends may be left open. These may be sharp-edged and therefore present a
risk of injuries to fingers that are poked into these openings. The tGo and its accessories have been designed to avoid
such risks. However, should open-ended tubes still present a risk they should be closed off using plastic plugs.
• If there is a serious and unexpected accident with the product, please inform our company immediately and the
responsible authorities.
