Proform 860 runs at top speed even when safety switch is out

Run the software calibration for easy troubleshooting and fix it. God bless youCalibration for "Newer Style" Consoles

The Calibration sequence can generally be used to accomplish the following: 1) To reset the treadmill's speed software, if the running belt seems to be moving faster or slower than the speed indicated on the console. 2) To reset the treadmill's incline software, if the walking deck seems to be elevated higher or lower than the height indicated on the console. 3) To synchronize the treadmill's electronic package ANY TIME a replacement part (anything electrical) has been installed and is being prepared for use. 4) This should be the first step performed when attempting to diagnose or troubleshoot the unit.Calibration often helps in correcting minor "bugs" in the software (by "resetting"), before actually having to replace components.

Before You Begin:

You must first determine the model number and style of unit of the unit being worked on. Do this by:

  • Powering up the treadmill and removing the emergency stop key (usually a magnetic plastic piece that attaches to the top, center of the console). If you see "10" in the console, it is an old style console and the "Older Style" Calibration should be referenced. If an "SI-1" appears in the console, it is a newer console. The following calibration sequence can be performed.

Note: To change any of the current codes (if incorrect or out of sync), use the SPEED + or SPEED -(minus) button(s).

Refer to the Calibration Chart (or the unit's owner's manual if not on the chart) to verify that the calibration codes on the unit (represented as "??" below) are correct.

The Steps for Newer Style Console Calibration

  1. Locate the calibration area on the rear or underside of the console (a hole, near the console's center, that goes through to the electronics board. (This hole should not have a screw in it.)

  2. Insert a pencil (eraser end), into the hole and feel around for the cal button (will click when pressed).

  3. Press the button 2 times (with the pencil eraser). The first click should show CL11 in the console, the second click should show CL21.

  4. If the process was done correctly, and CL21 appears in the console, you are in "calibration mode." The next few steps consists of pressing buttons on the console and observing settings. This will not require any other tools.

  5. Press ENTER. CL22 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  6. Press ENTER. CL23 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  7. Press ENTER. CL24 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  8. Press ENTER. CL25 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  9. Press ENTER. CL26 should display in the TIME window. You should then see the letter "E."

  10. Press ENTER. You should see "SS" or "55" in the console.

  11. Push the STOP/START button. For safety, at this point, you should step off, or be off, the treadmill.

  12. Push the ENTER button. The walking belt should start to move, accelerate to maximum speed, then stop on its own.

  13. When the belt stops, the incline should self test by raising to its highest incline position, then lowering back down to its lowest position.

  14. Once the incline test is complete, push the POWER button 2 times. The unit should shut off and the console should go completely blank. If this happens, the treadmill is done calibrating and is ready for use.

  15. If the letter "F" appears in the SPEED or INCLINE window when the power button is pressed 2 times, the treadmill is indicating a failure somewhere either in the SPEED or INCLINE (depending on the window the "F" appeared in). Troubleshooting the failure would be the next step.

I need to tighten the belt, it keeps slipping while walking on it

Unplug unit then remove motor shroud then do the following: If the problem is in the drive belt, either the drive belt will stop when stalled or the front roller will stop when stalled. If the motor, drive belt, and front roller continue to turn when the walking belt is stalled, the problem is with the walking belt slipping on the front roller. If the drive belt continues to turn but the front roller stalls, you may have a broken front roller pulley.

1) Adjusting the running belt if the problem: If the walking belt slips when walked on, UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered.Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
2) Adjusting Drive belt: Find the motor mounts. Many motors in Icon treadmills have a main pivot joint in which a bolt runs the full length of the motor mount. This bolt will require loosening to provide maximum adjustability. Some models have a single jack bolt and others have an auto tensioner. Single jack bolts are the easiest to adjust.

My proform 860 has belt slippage and sometimes

I had the same problem and was about to change the walking belt. Instead I removed the 5 screws holding on the hood and adjusted the Reed Switch and took a walk. Whenever I stomped on the belt hard it would stop. I Could now see (because I removed the hood) that the motor continued to spin and the Motor Drive Belt was slipping and was the culprit. Something that I had noticed before was all this fine rubber dust coming out near the left front corner where this belt is. If you see that it's a good indicator the motor belt is slipping and needs to be replaced.

Be sure there is no damage to the walk board itself before replacing the belt. You may want to try lubricating the board before replacing the belt.(silicone spray from any hardware store) This is also caused by overtightening of the drive belt and/or walk belt. Good Luck, Tim

Proform 860 treadmill incline is stuck in full incline position

With the key inserted in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline.

As for the speed led. the +12v means that there is a unstable current that is detected. this can because of a corroded wire connector or an failing capacitor wish in the power control board.

Proform crosswalk caliber elite cuts off after 10 minutes of use

Here are some possible causes and solutions: Overheating: If the motor or electronics of the treadmill get too hot, the machine may shut down to prevent damage. Make sure that the treadmill is placed in a well-ventilated area and that the air filters are clean. You can also try lubricating the walking belt to reduce friction. Faulty speed sensor: If the speed sensor is malfunctioning, it may cause the treadmill to shut down. You can try cleaning the speed sensor with a soft cloth and see if that helps . Worn walking belt: If the walking belt is worn or damaged, it may cause the treadmill to shut down. You can try replacing the walking belt and see if that helps. Electrical issues: If there are any electrical issues with the treadmill, it may cause the machine to shut down. You can try resetting the circuit breaker or unplugging the treadmill for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact Proform customer service.
