OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANGER:
of the equipment-grounding conductor in-
creases the risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you
are unsure whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be
damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs
power. To decrease the risk of damaging your
treadmill, always use a surge suppressor with your
treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase
a surge suppressor, see precaution 12 on page 3.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni-
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could dam-
age the control system of the treadmill (see precau-
tion 13 on page 3).
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This productʼs power cord has an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug
the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet
Improper connection
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit
(see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to
connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if
a properly grounded outlet is not available (see draw-
ing 2).

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter-
mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.

Questions and answers
I purchased model PFTL59510.0 and I **** in search of a Proform treadmill similar to this one.
The ProForm treadmills similar to model PFTL59510.0 include the ProForm 415 Crosswalk Treadmill (23723.3 / 237233) and the ProForm XP 680 Crosstrainer Treadmill (24646.0 / 246460).

pro-form 400e starts but won't stay running.
The ProForm PERFORMANCE 400 treadmill may start but not stay running due to several possible reasons:
1. Safety Key Issue – If the safety key is not properly inserted or gets disconnected, the treadmill will stop.
2. Motor or Belt Problem – A faulty motor, loose drive belt, or worn-out walking belt can cause the treadmill to stop.
3. Overheating or Overload – If the treadmill overheats or detects excessive load, it may shut off as a safety measure.
4. Power Supply Issue – Inconsistent power supply, a loose power cord, or a tripped circuit breaker can interrupt operation.
5. Console or Sensor Malfunction – If the console is not detecting movement correctly, it may stop the treadmill.
To diagnose the issue, check the safety key, ensure the belt is properly aligned, confirm the power source is stable, and inspect the motor for overheating.

My motor seems to be very loud. What could cause it to run loud?
The document does not provide specific reasons for the motor of a ProForm PERFORMANCE 400 running loudly. However, loud motor noise in treadmills is commonly caused by worn motor bearings, a loose or damaged drive belt, or buildup of dust and debris inside the motor area. Regular maintenance and inspection may help identify and resolve such issues.
