Congratulations for selecting the new PROFORM
®
12.5 QM treadmill. The 12.5 QM treadmill combines
advanced technology with innovative design to help
you get the most from your exercise in the conve-
nience and privacy of your home. And when you’re not
exercising, the unique 12.5 QM can be folded up, re-
quiring less than half the floor space of other treadmills.
For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
using the treadmill. If you have additional questions,
please call our Customer Service Department at 08457
089 009. To help us assist you, please note the prod-
uct model number and serial number before calling.
The model number of the treadmill is PETL62022. The
serial number can be found on a decal attached to the
treadmill (see the front cover of this manual for the lo-
cation).
Before reading further, please review the drawing below
and familiarise yourself with the parts that are labelled.

Locate the Reed Switch (18) and the Magnet (101) on
the left side of the Pulley (78). Turn the Pulley until the
Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure
that the gap between the Magnet and the Reed
Switch is about 3 mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen
the 3/4” Screw (24) and move the Reed Switch
slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the hood, and
run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a cor-
rect speed reading.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm
2
(14-gauge) cord that is no longer
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 8 to
10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful
to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in the power
cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tight-
ened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, call our Customer Service Department, toll-free.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the
left rear roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be
careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the
power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a
few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing belt 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the walking platform.
Be careful to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in
the power cord, insert the key and carefully walk on
the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-
ing belt is properly tightened.
