  First, ensure the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor. Note: The treadmill isn't compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets. Also, check that the key is fully inserted into the console. Finally, check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the frame near the power cord. If the breaker protrudes, wait five minutes, then press it back in.

  The treadmill may be turning off due to a tripped circuit breaker or a loose power connection. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord; if it has tripped, wait five minutes, and then press the switch back in. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in; if it is, unplug it, wait five minutes, and then plug it back in. Also, try removing the key from the console and then reinserting it.

What to do if ProForm 540 S Treadmill walking belt slows when walked on?

  If the walking belt slows down when you walk on it, it might be overtightened. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor. To resolve this, remove the key and unplug the power cord. Using the included allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift the edges of the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
