In
1952, the first treadmills designed for human use appeared in the
form of a cardiac stress test. Shortly after, the treadmills have
begun to be used in gyms. Nowadays treadmills have heart rate
monitors and security keys. In general, the keys should be applied on
the clothes of the user and, in case of danger, stops operation of
the treadmill. Unfortunately, these keys are often lost, and the user
can’t anymore use his treadmill.
There
are several types of keys. Each acts as a toggle; the key must be
connected to the user by a cord, because, in the event of an
accident, the key will come off and the treadmill will stop. This
device, if removed, will also prevent children to start the
appliance.
The
magnetic safety key is the most common type. The classic security
key, usually plastic, fits into a slot inside the tapis. Some
security keys are equipped with metal contacts, which connect the two
electrodes and close a circuit. They are covered with plastic, so the
user avoids electric shock.
Attention:
an attempt of replacement can be dangerous, especially for keys with
metal contacts.
Always
remember that the security key is there to avoid the risk of injury,
replace it with a suitable one if you lose or damage it.
Rather
buy a new security key on our site
or
if the original key is no longer available or is very expensive (some
security keys for Tunturi models can reach over 100,00), ask our
staff to make a change to the console and replace the key with one of
the most common types.
