  If your Pro-Form Treadmill isn't turning on, there are a few things to check: * If you're using an extension cord, make sure it's a 3-conductor, 14-gauge (2 mm[2]) cord no longer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). * Ensure the key is fully inserted into the console. * Check the power switch on the treadmill frame near the power cord. If it's sticking out, wait five minutes, then press it back in to reset it.

Why is Pro-Form Cadence Compact 500 Treadmill walking belt slipping when walked on?

  If the walking belt on your Pro-Form Treadmill is slipping: First, remove the key and unplug the power cord. Then, using a hex key, turn both idler roller screws clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. The walking belt should be tight enough that you can lift each edge 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) off the platform. Keep the belt centered. Plug the power cord back in, insert the key, and test the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat this process until the belt is properly tightened.

  If the walking belt on your Pro-Form Treadmill slows down when you walk on it, there are a couple of things you can check: * First, unplug the power cord. If the walking belt is too tight, loosen it by turning both idler roller screws counterclockwise 1/4 turn with a hex key. When properly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the belt 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) off the platform. Keep the belt centered. Then, plug the treadmill back in and test it. * Also, check the reed switch and magnet. Make sure the gap between the magnet and the reed switch is about 1/8 inch (3 mm). If needed, adjust the reed switch position by loosening the screw, moving the switch slightly, and retightening the screw.
