27. Individuals with limited lower body control should always secure their feet with Foot Straps when operating the M7i. Swivel the Foot Strap to the upright position. Place your foot under the Foot Strap and onto the Footpad with your heel resting against the rear wall of the Footpad. Pull the Foot Strap end up and away from your foot to tighten the Foot Strap to your foot. Press the hook and loop surfaces firmly together to fasten. Ensure the Foot Strap is snug to fit without causing discomfort. Always wait for the M7i to come to a complete stop before attempting to adjust the Foot Straps.

28. Independent Footpad or Handle movements at high speeds for extended time periods are considered advanced techniques and should only be performed when the user has reached an advanced level, or under supervision by a person that has reached an advanced level.

29. The M7i is not a toy. Children shall not play with the M7i. Children under 14 years old should not use the M7i. Keep children and pets clear from the M7i at all times, especially while in use. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children.
    The M7i can be used by children age 14 years and above. Persons with mental disabilities, reduced physical, mental, or sensory capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge should not use the M7i without constant supervision by a spotter/supervisor.

30. Ensure that all Recoiler Safety Straps and Foot Straps are secure and do not obstruct user movement and are not left hanging loose or unfastened so as to come in contact and interfere with the user or the M7i during operation.

31. The M7i should not be positioned in direct sunlight, in areas of extreme temperature and humidity, or where the M7i may be splashed with water or fluids. The M7i is intended for indoor use only.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are a number of contraindications in the context of the relevant fields of the M7i use. In rehabilitation, only the medical staff can determine the form and extent of therapy. Medications can have an influence on the rehabilitation (e.g. neuroleptics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, anti- epileptics, etc.). In the following cases, M7i training may only be carried out after consultation with a doctor:

• Pregnancy
• Acute thrombosis
•  Fresh wounds (e.g. after surgery)
• Artificial joints or prosthetics
• Bone fractures
• Spinal disc damage
• Traumatic injury to the spine
• Diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Inflammation
• Acute migraine headache
• Chronic illnesses
• Cancer
• Acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris (determined by a stress test)
• Cardiovascular diseases e.g. severe high blood pressure at rest, carditis, congestive heart failure, severe valvular heart disease, dangerous heart arrhythmias at rest, or aortic aneurysm

If the patient is experiencing acute illness, febrile condition (i.e. fever), or newly occurring pain, this represents an absolute contraindication for physical stress. In such situations, it is necessary to postpone training until the patient’s health has improved sufficiently.

In some situations (especially in patients with coronary heart disease or lung disease) overstraining can lead to an acute intensification of the patient’s symptoms. In such situations, an exercise ECG is essential and training is only possible under medical supervision.

The use of the automated operation (pulse automatic, preset programs, external control via computer or other device) is prohibited, unless the strain was authorized by a physician in accordance with the patient’s capacity/health.

For applications in endurance training, diagnostics and performance testing of patients, performance diagnostics, and stress tests, the same contraindications apply (among others) as with all physical stress. If there is doubt, it is important that a physician be consulted before using the M7i.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: SERVICE AND REPAIR SHALL ONLY BE PERFORMED BY KEISER-CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
CAUTION: THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF EQUIPMENT SAFETY CAN ONLY BE ENSURED IF THE EQUIPMENT IS REGULARLY INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND WEAR. Immediately replace damaged, worn, or broken parts. Do not use the equipment until all repairs have been completed and tested by a Keiser-certified technician.

Weekly|

• Check to ensure that the M7i is in safe proper working order (perform “Proper Operation Check,” page 12).
• Check that parts most susceptible to wear are not damaged or broken: Handles, Grips,
• Adjustment Knobs, Recoiler Safety Straps, Footpads, and Foot Straps.
• Wipe all areas in the sweat path with a dry soft towel or cloth.

---|---
1st Month|

• Check to ensure all external visible screws and nuts are not loose and that they are fastened tight.
• Check for broken stitches or parts; torn, cut or frayed material; or locks, buckles, or hook and loop fasteners that do not hold securely.

Monthly|

• Clean external surfaces using warm soapy water and a soft cloth, especially around the areas that come in contact with sweat.
• Do not use household or industrial cleaners as they can destroy the paint finish.
• For deeper cleaning, use only mild dish washing soap, followed by an automotive treatment such as Meguiar’s® Quik Detailer Mist and Wipe.

Biannually|

• Check to ensure all external visible screws and nuts are not loose and that they are fastened tight.
• Check Handles, Grips, Adjustment Knobs, Recoiler Safety Straps, Footpads, and
• Foot Straps and replace if worn.
• The low battery signal (“LO-BA”) will appear on the computer display when it is time to replace the batteries (two D batteries per M7i, refer to “Computer Battery Replacement” on page 21 for complete instructions).
• NOTE: For establishments with multiple M7i machines, replacement of all computer batteries at the same time is recommended.
• Apply wax to protect the paint finish on metal parts:
  1. Wipe down and thoroughly clean the M7i prior to applying wax.
  2. Use an easily applied automotive treatment such as Meguiar’s® Quik Detailer Mist and Wipe.
  3. Target areas that come in contact with sweat as they are most vulnerable to rust.
• NOTE: Failure to apply a coat of wax to high-sweat areas at least twice annually will decrease paint and frame life due to corrosion and will void the warranty.
• Apply lubricant to the Adjustment Knobs:
  1. Unscrew Adjustment Knobs from the Arm.
  2. Clean threads with a lint-free cloth.
  3. Apply a moderate amount of lubricant to the threads.
• NOTE: Both the threaded stud and the threaded insert nut are stainless steel. It is critical to keep the threads lubricated with a heavy grease (preferably white or clear in color), such as HYDROTEX® Acculube #2 or any compound with equivalent anti-wear and corrosion resistant properties.

Contact Keiser Customer Support for replacement parts order, or for any matters regarding the safe operation of your M7i (see back cover for contact information).
