We are using this treadmill as a Treadmill desk, thus walking continuously for hours. How do you keep it from stopping abruptly every 30 minutes?

@ Barbara: How do you adjust the menu to shut off after one hour? Thank you.

I have not found out a way to make it run continuously. It stops every 30 minutes.

This used to drive me nuts until I upped my walking speed to 2.3mph (which I believe is still below the maximum recommended NEAT threshold). Somewhere around that speed the treadmill gains enough momentum that the stops (still unavoidably every 30 minutes) are not jarring; you get in a few steps of deceleration that, for me, made all the difference. Now to spraypaint some yellow bands across the belt so I can easily perceive if it's running or not while working with earplugs.

I don't keep the treadmill from stopping. It is annoying; but, I live with it because the price is so good. I've made my treadmill less annoying when it stops by relocating the control panel to a more convenient place on my desk and I've removed the speaker; so, there is no noise when it starts and stops.

Check the switch under the time wheel. It may be stuck so as not moving when the time-wheel gets to it it stalls.

Hi Kelly:I own that treadmill and have not had that experience, but, I can offer a few suggestions. 1)Unplug the device, wait one minute, and plug it back in.If that does not work-try another wall plug to see if there is a voltage problem. You may also call at 801-973-9993. Good luck

I've had the treadmill for about 9 months and I noticed as long as you periodically lube it per the maintenance instructions. It doesn't squeak.

When you raise the desk, it moves toward you a few inches. I don't use it with a treadmill. I think you're asking if it will do that, and so the answer is a conditional yes. I'm out of town now so I can't be more definitive. If you can wait until Friday, I'll give you more detail.

I haven't actually timed it but my guess is that it shuts itself off in about two hours. For my use in walking the dog and having it on at the fitness center I don't find this to be a problem and actually a good feature in the event you forget to turn it off. There is no warning and I don't know if this feature can be turned off. Ooooops, I learned something from the response by Walter.

The TF1000 Exerpeutic Treadmill is very quiet as long as you keep it regularly lubricated. We regularly put between 100 and 200 miles per month on our TF 1000, and lubricate it once a month as well. If it starts making noise, you've waited too long, and have probably caused some excess wear to the belt and motor.

The treadmill has a safety device that clips to the walker's clothing. It is tethered to the control unit. If the walker stumbles, the safety device will disconnect and the treadmill will stop.

My brand new one is extremely noisy as well. The sounds do not come from the belt passing along the treadmill or from my feet hitting the treadmill. There are loud rattles and squeaks that come from the area of the motor. Also, the entire treadmill deck bounces up and down a little when I run on it. So far, I am pretty unhappy with this expensive purchase.

I do not know Andrew but I am a recent owner of the same Treadmill and have had to frequently adjust the belt to keep it centered and noticed my belt would slip but thought it was because I was not lifting my foot up high enough when I jogged - now I wonder if it is an issue with the machine. I will call Precor customer service and ask them these questions.

Normally it's because of low humidity or the treadmill isn't grounded correctly. I've resorted to using a light spray of something anti-static to the running belt. Fabric softener + water will do the trick.

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.

I would put a treadmill mat underneath it, and use it where you want. Try not to workout at 2am, but that's apartment life. The deliverer left it on my front porch. I used a dolly to get it in the house. It wasn't a big deal, but with steps, you will need help. ENJOY IT. I used it in my office at work, and now I have one at home.

I raise the treadmill into the storage position and spray from underneath. I pull down on the belt and give it a squirt from each side. Then I manually rotate the belt a few feet and repeat 3 or 4 times. Hopefully the lubricant is getting where it needs to be.

It is supposed to stop. For any reason the item is in slight motion, of course the alarm will continue to sound. Also, the battery can be going dead and will continue to go-off until completely dead. Check battery for voltage capacity. Otherwise item could be defective.

I watch tv while I walk on the Proform 790T. I have to turn up the tv volume a little, but not enough to bother people in a connecting room. It does get a little louder the faster you go, so if you plan on running on your treadmill you may have a problem.
