6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Before using
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the
sheets of
plastic from
the metal con-
tacts on the
pulse bar. In
addition,
make sure
that your hands
are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the
metal contacts; avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, several dashes will appear
and then your heart rate will be shown. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, continue to
hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest set-
ting or you may damage the treadmill when you
fold it to the storage position. Next, remove the
key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, press
the power switch into the off position and unplug
the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do
this, the treadmillʼs electrical components may
wear prematurely.

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.
