BEFORE YOU BEGIN Thank you for selecting the new PROFORM mill. The PROFORM 350 treadmill offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts at home more effective and enjoyable. And when you’re not exercising, the PROFORM 350 treadmill can be folded up, requiring less than half the floor space of other treadmills.
During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill perfor- mance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
