Need help?Do you have a question about the Pro-Form Performance 1500 PETL13015.1 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the Pro-Form Performance 1500 treadmill, a fitness device designed for home use.
The Pro-Form Performance 1500 treadmill is designed to provide an effective cardiovascular workout. It allows users to walk, jog, or run indoors, offering a variety of workout programs and features to enhance the exercise experience. The treadmill includes a console that displays workout information, allows for manual control of speed and incline, and offers access to iFIT workouts for personalized training. It is equipped with a walking belt, a motor to power the belt, and an incline system to simulate uphill training. The device is designed to be foldable for storage, making it suitable for home environments where space may be limited.
The treadmill has a length of 6 ft. 9 in. (206 cm) and a width of 3 ft. 1 in. (93 cm). It is designed to support users weighing up to 330 lbs. (150 kg). The power cord is a 14-gauge (1 mm²) cord that is no longer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). The device must be earthed, and improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. It requires a dedicated circuit for optimal performance. The heart rate monitor is not a medical device; its readings are intended only as an exercise aid.
The treadmill offers both manual and program-driven operation. Users can manually adjust the speed and incline of the walking belt using buttons on the console. The console features a display that shows elapsed time, distance walked or run, workout intensity bar, approximate number of calories burned, incline level, number of vertical meters climbed, speed of the walking belt, and heart rate (if a chest heart rate monitor is used).
The treadmill is iFIT compatible, allowing users to access a wide variety of personalized workouts. With an iFIT module, users can download workouts, create their own workouts, track their workout results, and access other iFIT features. The iFIT module connects to the internet via a wireless network (802.11b/g/n router with SSID broadcast enabled). The console also features a sound system with a 3.5 mm male audio cable for connecting a personal audio player, allowing users to listen to music or audio books during their workout.
Workout programs include "manual mode," "set-a-goal workout," and "onboard workout." In manual mode, users control speed and incline directly. Set-a-goal workouts allow users to set targets for time, distance, or calories. Onboard workouts offer predefined programs designed to provide varied exercise experiences. The console also features a "demo mode" for display purposes, which should be turned off for actual use.
For safety, the treadmill should be placed on a level surface with at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Users should wear appropriate exercise clothes and athletic support shoes. Children under 12 years old and pets should be kept away from the treadmill. The treadmill should never be left unattended while it is running. The power cord should be unplugged when not in use or during maintenance.
The treadmill can be folded into an upright position for storage. To fold the treadmill, the incline must be adjusted to zero, and the power cord must be unplugged. The frame is then lifted until the storage latch locks it in place. To lower the treadmill, the storage latch is released, and the frame is gently lowered to the floor.
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Users should inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the treadmill is used. The walking belt should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and a mild soap. It is important not to spray liquids directly onto the treadmill. The console should be cleaned with a soft towel.
The walking belt may require adjustment if it is not centered or if it slips. Instructions are provided for centering the walking belt by turning the left and right idler roller screws clockwise or counterclockwise. If the walking belt slips, it can be tightened by turning both idler roller screws clockwise. If the walking belt is worn or damaged, it may need to be replaced by an authorized service representative.
The motor hood should be removed periodically for cleaning, and the motor should be kept free of dust. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a manufacturer-recommended power cord. If the treadmill is not functioning properly, users are advised to consult the troubleshooting section of the manual or contact customer service.
For ordering replacement parts, users should provide the model number, serial number, name of the product, and the key number and description of the replacement part(s) as listed in the "PART LIST" and "EXPLODED DRAWING" sections of the manual. The product is designed to be recycled, and users are encouraged to dispose of it responsibly according to local regulations.
