Instructions

    • 1

      Plug the power cord on the ProForm treadmill into a surge protector, available at most hardware or grocery stores. Plug the surge protector into a grounded outlet if the treadmill will not operate. Find the circuit breaker switch on the treadmill base. If it has tripped, wait 5 minutes and then reset the switch. Make sure the treadmill power switch is turned "On."

      Verify that the power cord has not been pulled accidentally from the power supply if the treadmill turns off suddenly during use. Remove the key from the console, wait a minute and then place the key back into the console.

    • 3

      Use a surge protector that is rated 15 amps with a 14-gauge cord that is less than 5-feet long if the walking belt begins to slow unexpectedly during use.

      Remove the safety key, wait 10 seconds, and then re-insert the key if the error code "E2," E3" or "E4" appears on the display. Stand on the foot rails when the treadmill is started each time.

    • 5

      Clean the pulse sensors with a dry towel if the error code "E5" appears on the display.

    • 6

      Unplug the treadmill if the walking belt is off-center during use and remove the safety key. Using the included Allen wrench, turn each rear roller bolt counterclockwise for a quarter-turn to adjust the belt. Reinsert the safety key and run the treadmill. Repeat until the belt seems centered.
