Application
The MOTOmed is suitable only for active, motor-assisted and ­passive
movement of lower and upper extremities while seated. During the
training the MOTOmed can be operated via operating panel. The
MOTOmed is mobile and therefore can be used at various locations.
Conventional use
During the training the user is seated in front of the device in a safe
wheelchair or in a stable chair (without wheels), with a sufficiently
high back support. The user must sit upright and the chair or
wheelchair must not tilt backwards.
The MOTOmed must be placed on a firm, non-slippery surface.
In general
MOTOmed use is only permitted in accordance to measures and safety
precautions indicated in this instruction manual, with the consent of a
physician / therapist, and with no contraindications found.
Settings and changes besides the regular operation with the operating
panel may only be done if the arm and leg trainer pedals are not
moving and the arms and legs, respectively, are not fixed to the
MOTOmed.
Disclaimer of liability
The manufacturer does not assume liability for consequences of:
-improper and inappropriate use
-neglect of instruction manual
-willful damage and reckless use
-over intensive training
-use of unsuitable wheelchairs, chairs, or bed units

-u
se without prior consultation of a responsible physician and
therapist
-attachment of unauthorized accessories
-r epair or other interference by any person not authorized by the
manufacturer
Residual risk:
The principle of the MOTOmed movement therapy device is based on
the function of electric motors that drive leg and arm trainer pedals
with defined forces. The electrical and functional safety is guaranteed
by the manufacturer by means of comprehensive measures, therefore
the residual risk is minimal if all safety measures are followed. However,
it must be considered that in case of careless use, ignoring the safety
measures or general misuse the rotating pedals can cause injuries.
If a user is not able to follow the safety measures or cannot recognize
and prevent hazardous situations, we strongly recommend to allow
use only under supervision.
When using the MOTOmed please follow the prevailing safety
precautions in chapter 2.

INTRODUCTION
Safety Precautions
2
General instructions
The MOTOmed training has to be adapted to the individual health
condition of the patient. Training suggestions by the manufacturer or
its distributors are given without guarantee and are non-binding. No
exact instructions can be given for the use of the MOTOmed in different
health situations. This applies as well to details of the training functions
as their settings have to be adjusted to age, height, individual situations,
post-surgical health conditions and the general fitness of the user.
The first time use of the MOTOmed must always be supervised by a
qualified person giving instructions. Before starting with your ­training,
please consult your doctor and therapist to specify training mode,
extent, intensity and time of training. Please pay attention to the preset
adjustments of the selected MOTOmed training program when powering
on the device.
Make sure the user understands function and operation of the
MOTOmed and is able to reach the operating panel to operate and
switch off the MOTOmed during the training (especially for arm/upper
body training with forearm shells). Otherwise supervision is required
during the training or for assisted leg or arm insertion, respectively.
Generally, supervision during the training is recommended at all times.
During the training, unauthorized persons (visitors, assistants, etc.) must
not make any changes to the wheelchair, chair, or the MOTOmed device.
In case the health condition of the user does not allow a passive speed
of 20 rpm, please make sure to reduce the passive speed after starting
the MOTOmed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
9
Generally, the handles or foot shells and the calf shells of the leg
guides may get in contact with intact skin.
Please wear socks or/and shoes as well as long trousers when using the
fixing straps (Velcros). This avoids direct skin contact with the foot
shells or fixing tapes and therefore prevents from pressure marks, skin
irritations or abrasions.
Depending on the medical condition, the leg position and the setting
of the leg guides, training is not recommended in the occurrence of
skin irritation, pressure marks or other injuries. However, training may
resume with a doctor's or therapist's consent, and by meeting the
necessary safety precautions (insertion of buffer material etc.).
You must consult your doctor or therapist, or assume the responsibility
if you train on your own and have open wounds or are at risk to get
pressure sores (e. g. due to sensitive skin tissue), particularly at those
body parts touching the therapy trainer. The device manufacturer is
not liable for injuries caused by ignoring this instruction.
There is an increased health risk if operating the device under the
influence of alcohol, medication, or drugs. We advise against such use.
If experiencing any pain, nausea, circulatory weakness, the training
should be discontinued right away and a doctor should be consulted.
The manufacturer and its distributors do not assume responsibility for
improper or over intensive use.
Only put your feet into the foot shells while seated (or laying down).
Never step in with full force while standing upright. Do not put more
than 25 kg / 55 lbs (at a 7 cm / 2.8 in. pedal radius) of weight onto either
pedal.
10
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
One-sided training, either with only one leg/arm or with big
­differences in weight of the limbs should be done only under
­supervision of a person in charge. Conduct one-sided training only
at a high resistance setting or by using an original MOTOmed
counterweight accessory.
Arm/upper body training
For training with the arm/upper body trainer only, take out the feet
from the foot shells and put them on the floor or onto the foot rests
of the wheelchair.
For leg and arm/upper body training at the same time, the arm trainer
height must be extended to make sure the handle in its lowest position
does not collide with the knee in its highest position.
Safety precautions in terms of upper extremity ergometry:
Especially with young children the bone stability is pretty low which
easily can lead to fractures or so called bead fractures (incomplete
fractures). In order to reduce the risk of such injuries, make sure the
hand joints are properly supported during upper extremity ergometry.
Make sure always to use the hand, hand joint and arm accessories
recommended by your facility.
Also make sure the child always is sitting upright viewing the
­movement trainer and avoid rotating movements of the forearm and
hand joints.
If you have any doubts regarding the proper power connection of
the MOTOmed or any other inquiries, please get in contact with our
page 61 MOTOmed service team.

Risk of injury by a tilting device
The handlebar is only for holding onto the MOTOmed with the hands
during operation.
Never place full weight on one side of the MOTOmed. Avoid putting
pressure on the handlebar or the arm trainer with the whole body
weight or partially (e.g. by leaning on or pushing up at the handlebar).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Risk of injury by rotating pedal cranks and by moving parts of
the device
Do not make any mechanical changes to the MOTOmed (pedal radius,
height adjustment of handlebar or arm/upper body trainer, etc.) while
the pedals / foot shells are moving.
Always make sure to pay attention to the rotating pedals when
­operating the buttons of the operating panel.
Never try to grab hold of any moving parts!
Changing the pedal radius may also change the balance of forces.
If the red stop button
and the on / off button
fail to stop the
MOTOmed, immediately adjust the speed to 1 rpm and finish your
training right away, or unplug the mains from the outlet. You can train
again as soon as the malfunction is eliminated.
Portable and mobile HF communication devices, like mobile phones
or amateur radio stations can influence the functionality of the
MOTOmed. Such devices carry the symbol illustrated on the left side
and can thus be recognized.
CAUTION
Risk of overheating the casing components
Permanent direct solar radiation may cause overheating of the casing
components, therefore position the MOTOmed suitably.
Due to the thermal output, the surface temperature of the operating
panel may be up to 13°C / 55°F higher than the surrounding
temperature. Even at the maximum surrounding temperature
(40°C / 104°F) and without direct radiation this may cause the buttons
to heat up to a temperature of 53°C / 127°F. User who are at risk for
injuries at this temperature should protect themselves accordingly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

been ­developed by specific, high safety and quality standards, in
­accordance to guidelines governing the production of medical ­devices.
In compliance to legal regulations the manufacturer of a medical
product is expected to provide the user with multiple safety
­instructions that can be found on the following pages.
Please note, the number of instructions do not suggest that the user
of the MOTOmed is at a higher risk, compared to the other daily
electronic devices. More so the most instructions are a result of
­compliance to the particularly strict medical product regulations,
to ensure user safety. In the interest of our clients we gladly and
­consciously comply to these regulations.
Even if some instructions seem self-explanatory, we still would like to
ask you to carefully read the following instructional pages, in order to
maintain a long-lasting and high standard MOTOmed device.
Please do the visual inspection before the training to ensure orderly
condition of the device. The following inspections are completed
within a few moments.
VISUAL INSPECTION
17
3
Test step
Necessary measures in case
of fault detection during
visual inspection
Explanation
1. Inspection of power supply and mains cable
Is the feeder (mains
­cable) free from
damage, e.g. abrasions,
pressure points, porous
and cracked spots?
Is the feeder positioned
so that:
a) it is not in contact to
the device?
b) it cannot be
squeezed or rolled
over with other
objects / ­devices?
c) it cannot be tangled
in the cranks?
d) it cannot be
­mechanically
­damaged in any other
way?
e) no person can
­stumble over it?
In case of apparent damage, the
feeder needs to be replaced.
Repairing the damaged feeder
is not permitted. Therefore,
you are advised to replace it
with an original, tested, and
authorized part of the RECK
Company. Therefore, please
contact your RECK service
partner.
Never use a mains cable
with open wires or damaged
isolations!
The mains cable needs to be
positioned so that no person
can stumble over it, and any
mechanical damage can be
prevented.
A damaged mains cable
may raise the risk of electric
shock, either through direct
exposure to the damaged
spot, or by connection to the
MOTOmed casing.
Therefore damaged mains
cables must not be used at
any time!
A damaged mains cable
may raise the risk of electric
shock, either through direct
exposure to the damaged
spot, or by connection to the
MOTOmed casing.
2. Inspection of device condition
18
Are the used ­accessories
free from visible
damage?
Check if faulty parts can be
reconditioned or if they need
to be replaced.
If parts of the device are
damaged, safe functionality
cannot be guaranteed. Are
there any visible defects at
the remote control (cracks,
holes in the cover), if yes,
the remote control must be
replaced.
Is the coating of the
handles free of damage?
Handlebar replacement by
manufacturer service.
The plastic coating of the
handlebar offer additional
protection to the user
against electrical tension.
Is the device free from
dirt?
Remove dirt prior to operation
of device and according to
cleaning instructions.
Cleaning reduces the risk of
transmitting diseases.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Test step
Necessary measures in case
of fault detection during
visual inspection
Explanation
Are the accessories
fitted and suitable for
the user?
For example if the optionally
available forearm shells are too
small or too large,
please exchange them by
­suitable ones. Accessories
should be selected and used
so that for example nothing is
is irritating the skin.
Improperly chosen
­accessories can result in
an increased risk of injury
and a failure to perform the
intended purpose. Please
do this assessment prior to
starting the training.
If the user is unable to
independently do the
assessment, the caregiver in
charge must do the
evaluation instead.
If training from a
wheelchair:
Before the training,
check if the brakes of
the wheelchair are fixed.
Pull the brakes and check if
the wheel chair is in a steady
position.
The wheelchair must not
move out of position during
training.
If using a power
­wheelchair for the
­training:
Is the wheelchair
powered off and are the
brakes locked?
Power off the wheelchair and
pull the brakes. Afterwards
check if the wheelchair is in a
steady position.
The wheelchair must not
move out of position during
training.
Is the arm/upper body
trainer swiveled backwards and secured so
that the handlebar can
be used to hold on to
during leg training?
Swivel the arm/upper body
trainer backward before
­starting the leg trainer.
The handlebar offers better
hold and legroom during the
course of leg training.
Is suitable clothing used
for the training?
Wide pants, long towels, and
scarves that could get tangled
in the pedal crank must not
be worn (especially during arm
training).
Do not wear shoes with
shoelaces.
Long hair is to be pulled up
properly or is to be covered
prior to doing arm/upper body
training.
Inappropriate clothing can
tangle around the foot
shells / pedal cranks and thus
result in injuries.
Should garments or hair
get caught in between the
pedal cranks, push the stop
button or the on/off button
­immediately in order to
stop the crank movement
and to release the captured
parts without any further
damages.
VISUAL INSPECTION
19
3
Test step
Necessary measures in case
of fault detection during
visual inspection
Explanation
Is the device positioned
and set up so that the
intended movements
can be executed without
hitting other objects /
casing parts?
For leg training or
simultaneous leg
and arm/upper body
­training:
is it assured that the
legs do not collide with
the handlebar or the
arm/upper body trainer?
Make sure to have enough
legroom when adjusting the
height of the arm trainer:
During the training, legs must
not collide with the handlebar
or the arm/upper body trainer.
Make sure to maintain a
minimal insertion of 10 cm / 4
in. when adjusting the height
of the handlebar or the arm/­
upper body trainer.
To prevent injuries, the
MOTOmed needs to be
­positioned and set up so that
the user does not collide
with any surrounding objects.
Is the small front stand
pulled out sufficiently?
Pull out the small front stand
sufficiently. Pay attention to
keep a minimal insertion of ­
10 cm / 4 in.
Pulling out the small front
stand prevents tilting forward
of the device.
Are all the adjustable
components (motor
console, arm/upper body
trainer, foot stand,
handlebar, ...)
fastened properly with
a clamp screw or an
Allen key and are screws
­tightened?
Ensure strong hold by
­retightening the clamping
screws and the Allen screws.
Loose screw connections can
cause detachment of parts
during the course of training.
Should any of the
­components become loose
the training must be stopped
immediately by pushing the
stop button. ­Subsequently,
the loose part is to be
­secured into proper position.
3. Review of optimal training conditions
20
Is the MOTOmed
positioned on even floor
and is it not shaking or
tilting over?
In order to prevent shaking or
tilting over select a suitable
training spot. Possibly, adjust
the rubber stoppers on the
front stand.
The device must not shake
or tilt over since this may
increase the risk of injury to
the user / patient.
Is the floor providing
enough grip so that no
shifting occurs?
By choosing a slip proof floor
you can ensure a safe seating
and device position. For the
small front stand, suction
caps are available as accessory
order. An anti-slip mat that
goes below the MOTOmed is
available as accessory.
The MOTOmed might slip
on straight floors (tiles,
­laminate, parquet floors etc.).
VISUAL INSPECTION
Test step
Necessary measures in case
of fault detection during
visual inspection
Explanation
Is the chair or
­wheelchair positioned
so that the device does
not tilt over or move?
If your wheelchair tends to
tilt or shift due to spasticity,
or during active training, the
use of a wheelchair stabilizer is
recommended.
In case of strong spasticity
in the lower extremities the
drive force of the pedals
may cause shifting or tilting
of the seat. This is to be
prevented with appropriate
measures in order to prevent
injuries.
Only stable and firm chairs
may be used, if possible with
an arm rest. The use of chairs
with wheels while operating
the MOTOmed is not permitted.
Chairs with wheels can shift
during the training.
Are the foot
shells / ­pedal cranks
moving freely?
Has the danger been
­excluded of capturing
and tangling objects
during successive
­training sessions?
Please remove all objects from
the crank area, particularly
those that may get tangled in
the cranks during the pedal
movement.
Pay particular attention that
no hair, scarfs, or jewelry pieces
get caught in the pedal cranks.
Please pay attention that
nothing gets caught into
the motor-driven rotating
components. Herewith, same
precautionary measures
apply as with e.g. kitchen
devices or drilling machines.
Is the disk / pedal radius
the same on both sides?
Please adjust equal pedal ­radius on both sides in
case it is set differently. The
adjustment procedures for the
crank length are described on
page 36. .
Uneven pedal crank lengths
will cause an uneven cycle
motion due to the different
force effects. Please adjust
equal crank length on both
sides.
For leg arm/upper body
training, are the legs/
arms of the user fixed
securely in the foot
shells / forearm shells ?
Fix the the legs/arms
as ­indicated in chapter
­"prearrangements" (page 32).
During the course of training,
legs and arms should not
move unwontedly out of the
foot shells or the forearm
shells.
VISUAL INSPECTION

22
Test step
Necessary measures in case
of fault detection during
visual inspection
Explanation
Are no other electrical
devices, that are not
registered as ­medical
products, in the
­patient's reach?
Please remove all other
­electronic devices, not
authorized as medical
­products, from user's
­(patient's) reach.
Should the patient come
in contact with other
mains-supplied devices
during the course of training,
the user protection from
an electric shock is no
longer guaranteed by the
high standard isolation of
the MOTOmed device but is
­determined by the standard
of the other device that is in
contact with the user.
In order to effectively
provide the full medical
product safety standard
of the MOTOmed, all other
mains-powered ­devices, that
are not r­ egistered medical
devices, are to be removed
from the user's reach.
