Some ProForm treadmills require lubrication every six months or so, depending on the usage amount. Lift the walking belt and feel on the underside of the belt. If it is dry, you should lubricate it. ProForm recommends you use 100-percent, non-petroleum silicone spray to lubricate the walking belt. Do not use wax or other lubricants, such as WD-40 or a Teflon-based spray

Proform si treadmill makes loud squealing sound when running. Can I lubricate something?

Tradmill belt - the thing you walk on probably needs silicone lubricant underneath the belt.

I have a ProForm 400 CT. It runs OK, but it just started making a rattling noise.It is intermitant.

Try to lubricate the running belt. Also check the Running belt adjustment.
If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Choose treadmill articles to know how to Lubricate and adjust the running belt. Almost all the treadmill uses the same procedure

LUBE the deck belt, this happen because the lack of maintenance, and produce noise, maybe you have a WORN deck belt.
2) LUBE THE rollers bearing TOO.
3) test the motor for input voltage, if there are the motor need REPAIR.

My Proform 785 will not unfold even after I have pulled the latch. Is there something else I need to do to unfold it?

You may have damaged the treadmill when folding it up. If the incline was not lowered to its minimum position, the frame can be damaged.
To lower the treadmill, all you do is release the latch and lower the deck of the treadmill to the floor.
There are many Proform machines known as "785" including a number of elliptical trainers. An actual model number would make diagnosis much easier...

The deck needs to be lubricated. The lubricant can be purchase @ gympart.com. LUBRICATION PROCEDURE: 1. Turn off and unplug treadmill. 2. Cut off the end of the tube of lubricant. 3.

Treadmill stops running

I had simillar problem. I have proform 830 QT. My trademill stops after 10 minutes of work out. Everything shuts down and the circuit breaker pops out.

Root cause:- no lubrication under walking belt. Caused the moter to over work (over heat) and hence te circuit breaker popped out to prevent blowing of motor.

Solution:- Apply the lubricant under walking belt and adjust the belt tension if needed.

Back ground:- Contact proform customer service at 1-888-533-1333 (http://www.iconservice.com/proform/faq_tread.html) and buy the treadmil cleaning kit or lubricant kit which comes with a wand for easy application. It may cost you 35 dollars including shipping. If you need to fix your treadmil right away, use NAPA silicon spray 8300. Proform actually tells do not use it as it may damage your belt. However the specialst who came to fix my treadmill just sprayed it and collected 100 dollars. When I called proform they told me lubricating will fix it and its my mistake to not trust them. I guess they knew exactly what they were saying.
