Resetting Your ProForm Treadmill
- Unplug the treadmill from the power outlet to ensure safety. This is a crucial step to prevent any electrical issues or injuries.
- Wait for about 5 minutes. This allows the treadmill's internal systems to completely power down and reset any minor issues.
- Plug the treadmill back into the power outlet. Make sure the connection is secure to avoid any interruptions during your workout.
- If your treadmill has a reset button, press and hold this button for about 5 seconds. This is typically found near the power cord or on the console.
- If there is no reset button, you might need to hold down the Stop button and the Speed Increase button simultaneously for a few seconds until the console resets.
Calibrating the Treadmill After Resetting
- Start by entering the treadmill's setup mode. You might need to press a combination of buttons specified in your treadmill's manual, often involving the Stop and Speed buttons.
- Use the incline and speed buttons to set the treadmill to its lowest settings. This ensures that the reset is more thorough.
- Gradually increase the speed and incline to their maximum settings to make sure the treadmill is functioning correctly.
- If the treadmill is not operating smoothly, repeat the reset process or consult the user manual for detailed calibration instructions.
Fixing Problems After Resetting
- Check the power cord and outlet if the treadmill doesn't power on after resetting. Try a different outlet if necessary.
- Examine the console for any visible error messages or codes which could indicate a specific problem needing further intervention.
- Ensure the safety key is inserted properly. The treadmill will not operate without it, which might be why it doesn't turn on after a reset.
- If mechanical issues persist, inspect the treadmill belt and deck for any signs of wear or damage. Loose or misaligned belts can cause operational problems.
- Consult ProForm's customer service or a professional technician if the treadmill continues to malfunction despite resetting and troubleshooting.
