The ProForm 785 treadmill is a product designed to provide an aerobic workout from the comfort of home by allowing the user to walk or run in place. The device consists of a console unit, base unit and treadmill deck; the user operates the controls on the console unit, which directs the base unit to adjust the deck's angle and the speed at which its belt moves. If you plan to perform maintenance on your ProForm 785 treadmill or place it into extended storage, you may find it necessary to disassemble the device into its component parts.
Step 1
Stand to one side of the treadmill and insert the safety key into the console unit. Use the "incline" buttons to set the treadmill's deck to the lowest level. Remove the safety key and kneel down next to the base of the treadmill; locate the power switch and set it to the "off" position. Unplug the treadmill's power cord from its outlet.
Step 2
Kneel down next to the right side of the treadmill's base. Remove the allen wrench from the clip located at the bottom of the base. Move over to the left side of the treadmill and locate the frame guide attached to the left side of the treadmill's deck. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws securing the guide in place.
Step 3
Stand behind the treadmill's console and remove the screws securing the console unit to the treadmill's upright. Disconnect the base unit's wires from the harness located on the rear of the console unit.
Step 4
Pull the treadmill's console unit off of the upright mounts attached to the ends of the upright. Set the console unit aside. Grip one of the mounts and pull it off the end of the upright; repeat with the mount on the opposite side.
Step 5
Remove the screws securing the halves of the base unit's housing to the frame. Remove the halves and set them aside. Use the allen wrench to remove the bolts located at the rear end of the treadmill's deck, then remove the screws securing the end caps to the rear of the deck. Lift the foot rails free of the treadmill's deck.
Step 6
Remove the bolts securing the ends of the treadmill deck's rollers in place. Detach the drive belt from the motor unit and pulley wheel. Slide the rollers out of the treadmill belt. Remove the screws securing the walking platform to the deck's frame. Lift the platform free of the frame and remove the belt. Remove the screws securing the frame to the belly pan.
