STEP 4: To stop the tread-belt press and release the Stop key.

Pause/Stop/Reset Feature:

STEP 1: When the treadmill is running the pause feature may be utilized by pressing the Stop key once.

This will slowly decelerate the tread-belt to stop. The incline will go to zero percent. The Time, Distance and Calorie readings will hold while the unit is in the pause mode. After 5 minutes the display will reset and return to the start up screen.

STEP 2: To resume your exercise, when in Pause mode, press the Start key. The speed and incline will return to their previous settings.

z Pause is executed when the Stop button is pressed once. If the Stop key is pressed a second time, the

program will end and a workout summary will be displayed. If the Stop button is pressed a third time, the console will return to the idle mode (start up) screen. If the Stop button is held down for more than 3 seconds the console will reset.

Dot Matrix Center Display (Manual Operation):

Twenty rows of Red “dots”(8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The dots are only to show an approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the Speed / Incline dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout. Next to the Dot Matrix window are three LEDs labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along with a Display button. When the Track LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Track profile, when the Speed LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Speed profile and when the Incline LED is lit the Dot Matrix displays the Incline profile. You may change the Dot Matrix profile view by pressing the Select button. After scrolling through the three profiles, by pressing the Select button, the Dot matrix will automatically scroll through the three displays showing each one for four seconds. The LED associated with each profile will blink while that view is displayed. One more press of the Display button will return you to the Track profile.

0.4 KM （1/4 Mile）Track*:

The 0.4 KM track will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot indicates your progress. Once the 0.4 KM is complete this feature will begin again.

Page 13

Pulse Grip Feature:

The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Grip Pulse signal.

Calorie Display:

Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout. Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot be used for medical purposes.

Speakers:

The console has a built-in Speakers. You may Plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3, Computer ,etc.) into the Jack on the Left side of console. There is no volume control on console, volume must be controlled by Audio Source.

z Press the Fan key once to turn on the fan and press the Fan key a second time to turn off the fan.

Incline Feature:

z Incline may be adjusted anytime after belt movement. z Press and hold the Up / Down keys (console or hand rail) to achieve desired level of effort. You may

also choose a more rapid increase / decrease by selecting desired key, 2 through 12, on left hand side of console (incline).

z The display will indicate incline percent as adjustments are made. z Incline will remain in it’s position when display is turned off.

To Turn Treadmill Off (Blank out Display):

Two methods accomplish this: Use either one. (1) Display will automatically turn off (blank out) after 30 minutes (no key operations) in Pause / Stop mode. (2) Remove tether cord.

Programmable Features

The treadmill has the preset programs, and 2 user programs. Each preset program has a maximum speed level that is displayed when a desired workout is chosen. The maximum speed that the particular program will achieve will be displayed in the Speed window. Also included are two user programs (User 1 and User

2) for custom workouts.

Page 14

To Select a Program:

STEP 1: Press the desired Program Up / Down key. Press enter to set the program. The display will prompt you through the programming or you can just press Start to begin the program with default values.

STEP 2: If Enter was pressed, the Time window will blink with the default value of 20 minutes. You may use any of the up/down keys to adjust the time. After adjusting, or to accept the default, press enter. (Note: You may press start at any time during the programming to start the program.)

STEP 3: The Distance window will now be blinking a value, which is your Bodyweight. Entering the correct bodyweight will affect the calorie count. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter. A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because there are too many factors which determine exact calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone is the exact same bodyweight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout.

STEP 4: The Calorie window will now be blinking a value, which is your Age. Entering your correct age affects the Heart Rate Control programs. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter. Your age determines the maximum heart rate you may achieve. Since the Heart Rate control features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is important to enter the correct age for these features to work properly.

STEP 5: The Speed window will now be blinking the preset top speed of the selected program. Use the Fast / Slow keys to adjust, then press enter. Each program has various speed changes through out, this allows you to limit the highest speed the program can reach.

User Programs: STEP 1: Select User 1 or User 2 via the Program key then press Enter key to set.

STEP 2: Note the clock (Time) window is flashing. Use the Up / Down keys to adjust up from 10 minutes (if desired). Press Enter key. This is a must to continue even if time is not adjusted.

STEP 3: The Distance window will now be blinking a bodyweight value. Enter your bodyweight and press Enter.

STEP 4: The Calorie window will now be blinking an Age value. Adjust the age and press enter.

STEP 5: Note that the dot matrix display portion will have a single row of dots at the bottom (Unless there is a previously stored program). The first column (segment) will now be blinking. Using the Fast / Slow keys, adjust the speed level to your desired effort for the first segment then press Enter. The second column will now be blinking. Repeat the above process until all segments have been programmed. The first column will be blinking again. This is for the incline programming. Repeat the above process to program all segments for incline.

STEP 6: Press the Start button to begin the workout and also save the program to memory.

Target Heart Rate

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their choice of exercise intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 - User’s Age = Maximum Heart Rate. If you enter your age during programming of the console the console will perform this calculation automatically. This is used for the HR control programs and also for the Heart rate bar graph After calculating your Maximum Heart Rate, you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals of exercise, are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 90% or 70%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program. With all Spirit Heart Rate Control treadmills, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls incline.

CAUTION!

The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.

Page 17

Erratic Operation:

Caution! Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value

is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem. Areas to look for on interference:

(1) Treadmill not properly grounded - A must! (2) Microwave ovens, T.V.’s, small appliances, etc. (3) Fluorescent lights. (4) Some household security systems. (5) Perimeter fence for a pet. (6) Loose treadmill console / upright.

WARNING! DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY!

Special Operations of Heart Rate Functions:

Treadmills that are factory equipped with a Heart Rate Control system have many distinct features both in the Heart Rate Control program and during heart rate monitoring. This section will give you a more detailed background to use your treadmill in the most effective manner.

How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:

Heart Rate Control uses your treadmill’s incline system to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed. Additionally, changes in incline keep you in control of the machine’s speed instead of the machine controlling you.

Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:

You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1) program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Control attempts to maintain your heart rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintain your heart rate at 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed during the setup mode.

CAUTION! The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.

Heart Rate Control Operation

STEP 1: Press HR1 or HR2 button. STEP 2: The Distance window will be blinking, showing bodyweight. You may adjust it and press enter if you

want or just press enter to accept the default value.

STEP 3: The Calorie will now be blinking showing age. Adjust and press enter or press enter to accept default. STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking showing the default HR for this program. Adjust and press

enter or press enter to accept default.

STEP 5: The Time window will now be blinking. Adjust the time and press enter. STEP 6: Press Start to begin program.

Page 18

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING

Care has been taken to assure that your treadmill has been properly adjusted and lubricated at the factory. It is not recommended that the user attempt service on the inte rnal components instead seek service from an authorized service center. However, from time-to-time the outer surfaces may appear dull or dirty, following the instructions listed below will restore and preserve the original finish.

Note: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical hazard or shock.

1. Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a light application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax upon the walking or computer surface.

2. Under no circumstances are you to use ammonia, oils, silicones or any other compounds on the rubberized walking surface. The use of such materials may cause serious injury to the body and/or deteriorate the performance of the walking surface. Only clean the rubberized walking surface with a damp cloth (water only).

3. From time-to-time the computer surface may collect dust or finger prints. The use of harsh chemicals will destroy the protective coating and cause a static build up that will damage the components. This surface may be cleaned with specially prepared chemicals found in most computer supply stores especially made for antistatic surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning compound.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

TREADMILL LUBRICATION

Your treadmill should require little maintenance other then periodically applying lubricant. Lubricating under the treadbelt will ensure superior performance and extend its life expectancy.

HOW TO CHECK TREADBELT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

Lift one side of the treadbelt and feel the top surface of the treadboard If the surface is slick to the touch, then no further lubrication is required

If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or half of the bottle of lubricant.

HOW TO APPLY LUBRICANT

1. Lift one side of treadbelt.

2. Pour one half of the lubricant bottle under the center of the treadbelt on the top surface of the treadboard

3. Walk on the treadmill at a slow speed for 3 to 5 minutes to evenly distribute lubricant.

NOTE: DO NOT over lubricate treadboard. Any excess lubricant that comes out should be wiped off.

IMPORTANT: ONLY USE HALF THE BOTTLE OF LUBRICANT PER APPLICATION LUBRICATION SCHEDULE

1. After the first 25 hours of use (2-3 months) apply one half bottle of lubricant

2. Every 50 hours of use (5-8 months) apply one half bottle of lubricant

We recommend that you use:

LUBE-N-Walk

™ Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from Sears parts and service.

RESET SWITCH RESETTING

If your treadmill looses power or will not start, check the reset switch located on the front of the motor cover. If the white tab of the reset switch is not showing then the reset switch has not been tripped. If the white tab of the reset switch is showing, the reset switch has tripped.

To reset the reset switch:

Remove the safety clip on console. Press white tab of the reset switch in until it snaps back into place.

If the reset switch continues to trip - see treadbelt adjustment and treadbelt lubrication

SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

If the monitor does not display speed or distance the speed sensor and magnet may be misaligned. Follow these step to check and realign. Remove the motor cover Check the spacing and alignment between the magnet on the right side of the front roller and the speed sensor on the frame. The spacing must be 1/8”. Loosened screw and slide speed sensor in or out of clamp. Retighten screw Replace the motor cover

TRAINING GUIDELINES

Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are:

x Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) x Increased cardiovascular (heart and art eries/veins) and respiratory efficiency x Decreased risk of coronary heart disease x Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight x Delaying the physiological effects of age x Physiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.

Basic Components of Physical Fitness

There are four all encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its role

Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and sp eed and is of great importance to a majority of sports people.

Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping.

Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving fl exibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness.

Cardio-Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs.

Aerobic Fitness The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity.

The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2 indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen and of the muscles to take up oxygen.

Anaerobic Training

This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insuffi cient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, 100 meter sprint).

The Training Threshold

This is the minimum leve l of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter.

Progression As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement

Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important.

Page 31

Specificity

Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both t o the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

Reversibility

If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lo se the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success.

Warm Up

Every exercise program should start with a warm up where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise.

Warm Down or Cool Down

This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly to the central circulation, pooling of bl ood may occur in the muscles.

Heart Rate

As you exercise, the rate at which your heart beat increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition yo ur circu latory system, and increase yo ur pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart.

Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise progr am for you. If you are starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute(BPM). If you are fit ter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation.

To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side.

As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves.

The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”. Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65

Target heart Rate 10Second Count 23 22 22 21 20 19 19 18 18

Beats per Minute 138 132 132 126 120 114 114 108 108 Pulse Count

The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers)is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate.

The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average fitness, you may work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group. The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit. Here we are working at about 80% of maximum.

Page 32

Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 Target heart Rate

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on t his table. It can be very uncomfortable if you overdo it. Let it happen naturally as you work through your progr am. Remember, the target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.

Two final comments:(1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it;(2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave to it.

Muscle Soreness

For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exerci se program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days.

If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling your something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor.

What to Wear

Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extr a weigh t you lo se is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”.

Breathing during Exercise

Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles.

Rest periods Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm-up stage again.

The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one minute rest periods

Page 33

STRETCHING

Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your breath.
