suppressor could result in damage to the
control system of the treadmill. If the control
system is damaged, the walking belt may
slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which
may result in a fall and serious injury.

The treadmill has a sickening stinky smell when in use. Smells like something burning.

The Pro-Form Sport 4.0 treadmill may have a burning smell when in use due to excessive wear on the walking belt, improper lubrication, or unauthorized substances applied to the belt or walking platform. The manual advises against using silicone spray or other substances unless instructed by an authorized service representative, as these may deteriorate the belt and cause excessive wear. If the issue persists, checking the front cover of the manual for lubrication instructions or contacting an authorized service representative is recommended.

I tried the manual calibration due to the incline not working....However it is still only going up to level 1 n back down. It is not going any higher.

To fix the incline issue on your Pro-Form Sport 4.0 treadmill, follow these steps to recalibrate the incline system:

1. Insert the key into the console while holding down the Stop button.
2. Release the Stop button.
3. Press the Stop button again, then press the Incline increase or decrease button.
4. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level.
5. If the incline system does not start calibrating, press the Stop button again and then press the Incline increase or decrease button again.
6. Once calibration is complete, remove the key from the console.

This should reset the incline system and resolve the issue.
