Sluggish motor on a ProForm 770 EKG Treadmill

The belt on the above model treadmill slows down intermittently, especially at slow speeds. It almost seems as though the clutch isn't adjusted correctly, but I don't think these have any kind of clutch, do they? It works fine if you don't step onto the belt. I got this from an InLaw who was going to throw it away because of this issue. Anyone know what the problem might be?

I also have the same problem with the treadmill and trying to rehab from a total knee replacement. How did you solve this problem?

I have a treadmill 770 Proform from Sears and it is slowing down or speeding up intermeditately. Do you have a way to resolve this problem. Trying to rehab from total knee replacement.

Thank you,
Toni

I went to a website: www.iconservice.com/pdf/291660.pdf and downloaded the manual for the Pro Form 770 treadmill.
It gives instructions on pages 23 & 24 on how to adjust the magnet and reed switch in the motor which could be the problem. It also gives instructions on how to loosen or tighten the walking belt.
Hope this helps.
