Proform 560hr Treadmill Walking Belt Questions & Answers
Will not move belt
Press the Stop and the Speed Up keys down while inserting the safety key.
Press the Stop key one time. The Time window should read EP:2P. Some newer models may also say FP, Pass, or the like. This means that it passes the EPROM test.
Press either incline key and the incline will calibrate automatically.
BE CAREFUL, THE TREADMILL WILL RUN AT FULL SPEED IN THIS NEXT MODE! DO NOT STAND ON THE WALKING BELT. Press the Speed Up key and hold it down until 85 is shown in the Distance window (some models may show the 85 number in another window).
If the top speed of the treadmill does not match the displayed speed on the computer console, adjust the max speed potentiometer (pot) on the motor control board. This is the board that the red and black motor wires connect directly into in the motor area. The Max Speed pot is clearly labeled.
The max speed potentiometer is a small square with a mobile center and is located in one corner of the board and is labeled MAX SPD. It is near the harness that carries the speed signal labeled H,W,L. Using a small insulated screwdriver adjust this potentiometer clockwise to speed up and counter-clockwise to slow down the max speed of the treadmill. A tiny turn of this potentiometer will make a big difference in speed so be careful when making adjustments.
It is not important to get the speed set exactly at the max speed of the treadmill but do make sure to get the speed within .2 MPH of the max speed of the treadmill. For instance if the max speed of the treadmill is 10 MPH, make sure to have the speed set between 9.8 MPH and 10.2 MPH. Some models have a 12 MPH top speed, so please check your manual if you aren’t sure.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP BECAUSE YOU WILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE IF THIS STEP IS SKIPPED. After completing calibration of the speed, press the Speed Down key. The treadmill will automatically return to 0 MPH. Please allow the unit to stop completely before continuing.
Press the Stop key once and remove the safety key.

Belt stops as soon as any weight is applied.
This is caused by one of three problems. First and most likely, the
walking belt is loose. To tighten the belt, start by locating the two
bolts that adjust the rear roller (one on each side of the unit in the
back). Run the unit at about 3 mph. Tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a
time. Make sure that what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other
side or the belt will get off center. After you tighten it 1/4 turn,
check the belt to see if it is still slipping. If it is then tighten
the belt 1/4 turn again. Continue until the belt does not slip, but do
not tighten the bolts more than 2 full turns. If it takes more than 2
turns then something else is the problem. The second problem that it
could be is the drive belt might be loose. To tighten the drive belt,
start by removing the front cover. loosen the bolts around the motor
then tighten the drive belt by tightening the motor adjuster bolt. Once
the drive belt is tight, tighten the motor back down. The third
problem that it could be is the walking belt could be worn and need to
be replaced. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here are some possible causes and solutions:
Overheating: If the motor or electronics of the treadmill get too hot, the machine may shut down to prevent damage. Make sure that the treadmill is placed in a well-ventilated area and that the air filters are clean. You can also try lubricating the walking belt to reduce friction.
Faulty speed sensor: If the speed sensor is malfunctioning, it may cause the treadmill to shut down. You can try cleaning the speed sensor with a soft cloth and see if that helps .
Worn walking belt: If the walking belt is worn or damaged, it may cause the treadmill to shut down. You can try replacing the walking belt and see if that helps.
Electrical issues: If there are any electrical issues with the treadmill, it may cause the machine to shut down. You can try resetting the circuit breaker or unplugging the treadmill for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact Proform customer service.
