  First, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet, using a single-outlet surge suppressor. Note that the ProForm Treadmill isn't compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets. Also, check that the key is inserted into the console. Finally, examine the reset/off circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes, the circuit breaker has tripped. Wait five minutes, then press the switch back in to reset it.

  If the incline of your ProForm Treadmill isn't changing correctly, insert the key into the console and press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level, recalibrating the incline system.

Why is the walking belt off-center or slips when walked on ProForm 565 Crosstrainer?

  If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key and unplug the power cord. If the belt has shifted left, turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 turn with the hex key; if it shifted right, turn the bolt counterclockwise 1/2 turn. Avoid overtightening. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill briefly. Repeat until centered. If the walking belt slips, remove the key and unplug the power cord. Turn both rear roller bolts clockwise 1/4 turn with the hex key. Ensure you could lift each edge of the belt 2-3 inches off the platform when correctly tightened. Keep the belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the belt is properly tightened.

  To address a walking belt that slows down when walked on, use only a single-outlet surge suppressor. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and unplug the power cord. Using the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
