Starting your ProForm treadmill without a key can be a frustrating experience, especially if you’re in the middle of a workout. But don’t worry, there are a few simple steps you can take to get your treadmill up and running again.
1. Check the Power Cable
Before you do anything else, make sure that the power cable is securely plugged into both the treadmill and the wall outlet. If the power cable is loose, the treadmill will not be able to receive power and will not start.
2. Inspect the Safety Key
The safety key is a small magnetic key that is inserted into the console of the treadmill. When the safety key is in place, it activates the treadmill’s motor. If the safety key is not in place, the treadmill will not start.
If you have lost your safety key, you can purchase a replacement key from the ProForm website or from a local fitness equipment store.
3. Reset the Circuit Breaker
If the power cable and the safety key are both in place, but the treadmill still doesn’t start, the circuit breaker may have tripped. The circuit breaker is a small switch that is located on the back of the treadmill. If the circuit breaker has tripped, it will be in the “off” position.
To reset the circuit breaker, simply flip the switch to the “on” position. If the circuit breaker trips again, there may be a problem with the treadmill’s electrical system. In this case, you will need to contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
4. Bypass the Safety Key
If you have tried all of the above steps and the treadmill still doesn’t start, you may need to bypass the safety key. Bypassing the safety key is not recommended, as it can be dangerous. However, if you are confident that you can do so safely, you can follow these steps:
1. Unplug the treadmill from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the console cover.
3. Locate the safety key switch. The safety key switch is a small switch that is located on the back of the console.
4. Use a small screwdriver or a pair of pliers to bypass the safety key switch.
5. Plug the treadmill back into the wall outlet.
6. Start the treadmill.
5. Contact ProForm Customer Service
