  If your Pro-Form Treadmill power does not turn on, ensure that you are using a suitable extension cord, if needed—specifically, a 3-conductor, 14-gauge (2 mm[2]) cord no longer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). Also, verify that the key is properly inserted into the console. Finally, check the power switch located on the treadmill frame near the power cord; if it's tripped (protruding), wait five minutes and then press it back in to reset it.
