- The easiest way to take apart a NordicTrack treadmill and ProForm treadmill to move it or get it through a doorway.
This also works for FreeMotion and Healthrider treadmills
thanks so much for the instructions. i didn’t know how I was going to relocate my treadmill to another area of my house and your instructions were easy to follow and very doable. Thanks again!
No problem at all, happy it helped 🙂
This helped me get my treadmill in and out. Thank you for this!
Awesome. Happy to help 💪
Made moving my treadmill easier than I expected. One tip. The grommet for my pass through was stuck so I had to go on the inside and push the pins in.
Awesome, happy it helped 💪
Thank you! Video worked perfectly for my proform 2000! Was nervous I was going to have to take the whole user interface off, this made it was easier
Awesome. Happy it helped 🙂
hello, so “supposedly” we have the exact same treadmill however our motor board looks different. is there anyway of trouble shooting this?
There are 2 different types of controller but they both have a main connector and wiring harness.
Just follow the wiring from underneath and you will see it.
Same process, different type of plug
Thank you! This has helped me!
That’s awesome happy it helped 🙂
You forgot to mention the 2 screws that are underneath holding the 2 back corners of the motor cover down , you didn't mention so when they would not lift up I gently pried upwards thinking that it there was some kind of clip that would release or disconnect but nope I snapped the 2 female ends of the plastic that those screws screw into, in order to reach these 2 screws you have to lift the deck in the upwards (transport position) to access them . Luckily after i reassembled everything those 2 corners sit flush anyway but i am going to get some good glue or epoxy that bonds well to plastic and repair it back to original condition . Thanks for the video though as everything was accurate and it was simple to disassemble and reassemble .
That’s a shame about the screws, unfortunately there are hundreds of models of these treadmills and only a handful have the screws underneath.
Did not think to mention it in the video as the one used for the video doesn’t have them 🙂
Thank you!
I followed the steps for my Proform Pro 9000, but there is still a black cable that connects the bottom of the right upright to the base, so the two pieces are not completely independent as they are in your video. Can you advise on how to completely separate them? Thank you!
Yes the Pro series has a completely different setup and is not as easy.
The only way to do these is to pull the console off or disconnect the wiring at the top of the upright where it connects to the console.
You will then need to feed the cable back down the upright so you can leave it connected to the base.
Best thing to do is tie a “feed wire” like string or rope to the end at the console before you take it out and leave the feed wire inside during the move. That way you can easily feed the wire back through when you reassemble, similar to the original assembly instructions.
Hope this makes sense, very difficult to describe but not too difficult if you can get your head around it 🙂
@@FitnessEquipmentHowTo Thank you! I decided it would be easier to transport the treadmill if I just removed the console rather than leaving it attached to the uprights. I really appreciate your giving me the guidance and confidence to do this!
Geez that's "easily"? Might be easier to bust a wider hole in my house to get it out thru.
Haha very true, it’s a lot easier than disassembling the whole treadmill though
I’ve done that lol
Thank you this video was very helpful and thorough.
Glad it was helpful!
Is this the same procedure for norditrack 2450? And do you recall the socket size for upright/base frame bolts?
Yes same procedure. The newer 2450s have a connection at the base of the upright which is easier to take out. The socket size is 14 🙂
@@FitnessEquipmentHowTo I'm not sure of the year, but I might be referring to the previous model. 14mm as well? I appreciate it
@stizolac that’s all good, yea 14mm 🙂
@@FitnessEquipmentHowTo awesome help. ✌️
Hi! I have a question about the Proform treadmill carbon T7 model: FBTL87723.2. When I wanted to start the workout it keep saying "please replace your key to start the workout" even tho it already in the console and I try to unplug it and turn off but it still said the same thing. So do you have any idea that's I can fix that error?
That’s going to either a wiring problem or a problem with the safety key housing mechanism. Doing a reset won’t fix that unfortunately.
Thank you for posting this helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
Great instructions, thanks so much !
No problem, happy it helped 🙂
Will this work for the Pro-Form Carbon T7 since it is heavier? I am moving soon.
Yes most definitely will 💪
It took a while for my husband but he got it! Thank you very much for your video 😊
Excellent, happy it helped 🙂
Awesome guys thank you
I just did this with my treadmill. It's the same brand, newer model. I reassembled everything and turned it on but for some reason the track won't work. Everything else works including the incline, but when I try to turn the speed up, nothing happens.
First place to start is check all wiring is ok, check motor connections and check all pins in connectors are ok.
Failing that it could possibly be an issue with the controller.
Thank you. That was helpful.
No problem at all, happy it helped
Great job!!!! Thanks!!
Happy it helped 💪
perfect video, thank you so much!
Glad it helped! 🙂
Will this work for the proform trainer 10.0
Yes it will 🙂
Thank you!
@JoseSanchez-th1pl -- I'm sure you've done this already but I just did this with my ProForm Trainer 10.0 and it worked perfectly.
What kind of strap did you use to hold it together??
We use ratchet straps/tie downs.
You can use rope etc but have to make sure it’s 100% secure, I can’t stress that enough.
If it’s not secure and let’s go the gas strut will release while you are moving it.
For extra safety you can remove the gas strut beforehand.
@@FitnessEquipmentHowTo thanks!! Ended up removing the gas strut for extra safety. Will be coming back to this video for the re-assembly.
@@FitnessEquipmentHowTo So I unfortunately messed up this step! The gas strut released & went in the raised position. So now I don't know how to get the incline to come down. Any suggestions with this ?
@Jasmine-v8x7h you should be able to release it the same way as you would normally
Perfect!!! Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Perfect! Thank you sir.
Very welcome, happy it helped 💪
Master !!! Thanks a lot
No worries, hope it helps 💪
Thank You!!
You're welcome!
Why bother removing the earth core and all the detailed wiring? Why not just disconnect the bottom cable insert? Don't get it....
Because it’s one long cable loom with the earth from the controller all the way to the console, it’s the only way to do it. Some newer models have a connector in between that you can disconnect easily but most models don’t
thanks so much
No problem, happy it helped 🙂
Thank you!
Happy it helped 💪
