Safety Key
Safety Key
The treadmill will only operate if the safety key is correctly in contact with contact point in the cockpit. The treadmill
will stop automatically if the safety key is no longer in contact.
Before each training session make sure to attach the safety key to your clothing with the clip.
If you either want to stop the treadmill quickly, cannot keep up with the speed, or any other emergency arises, pull
the string to remove the safety key out of the cockpit or press down the EMERGENCY button (see Figure 1). If the
safety key is connected to your clothing it will automatically be pulled out of the cockpit if you fall. It is therefore vital
to make sure that the clip is securely fastened to your clothing and cannot fall off simply when you move to train.
Adjust the length of the string to hang down loosely during training.
It is not possible to operate the treadmill without the safety key being correctly inserted.
If the safety key is pulled from the contact point during training or the EMERGENCY button is pressed, the treadmill
will stop automatically. An “E-07” message will be shown in the display and a warning signal will sound.
The incline will remain in the adjusted position and can only be lowered after the safety key has been re-connected.
To do this push the plastic element marked with an arrow in Figure 2 back again.
Function test of Safety Key and EMERGENCY button
Before each use of the treadmill, check the functioning of the Safety Key and the EMERGENCY button. To do this,
start the treadmill while standing beside it and pull the safety key from its contact position. The treadmill should stop
immediately. Run this test again for the EMERGENCY button. Restart the treadmill while standing beside it and
then press the EMERGENCY button. The treadmill should stop immediately.
CAUTION:
Never use the treadmill if the Safety Key or the EMERGENCY button are not functioning properly.
Safety Distance
Select a suitable place to keep your training device with a free safety area space of at least 200 cm long and 100
cm wide behind the training device.
Furthermore, during training, a safety distance down the length of the treadmill with a minimum width of 100 cm
should be kept to the right and/or left-hand side of the treadmill.
What to do in an Emergency
Stop training immediately if you realise that you cannot keep up with the pace, if you start feeling sick or if any other
emergency arises, pull the safety key out with the string to make an emergency stop.
Hold on firmly with both hands onto the handrails and place your feet on the foot rails on each side of the tread belt.
If you trip during training, hold onto the handrails immediately with both hands, support yourself with your hands and
arms on the handrails and put your feet on the foot rails on either side of the tread belt.
You should practice this several times so that you will know what to do if an emergency arises.
Wear the safety key every time you use the treadmill. Make sure that all third parties are familiar with the safety
instructions and that they always use the safety key correctly whilst training!
