• Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose other than for the purpose it is
intended.
• The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are
intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable
for use on your elliptical. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.

• NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the results of any
operational change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired level on the
computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command
gradually.
• NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household
power supply that could damage elliptical components. Unplug the elliptical during an electrical
storm as a precaution.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while using your elliptical such as watching
television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance, and that may result
in serious injury.
• Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes.
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to properly
function with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster or
slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure, contact your
Spirit dealer.
This product must be grounded. If the electrical system of the elliptical should malfunction or
breakdown grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current; reducing the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet,
(shown below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug, or the
like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

the unit and unpack.
2. Carefully remove all parts from carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If damaged parts are
found, or parts are missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into four steps. Remove the tools first. Remove
the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion. The numbers in the instructions that are in
parenthesis (#) are the item number from the assembly drawing, for reference.
STEP 1: Incline Rail Assembly and Console Mast
.
Install the Incline Rail Assembly (2) into the U-channel bracket of the Main Frame (1). Secure
with the six bolts & associated hardware as follows: From the sides install two 3/8"x1-1/2" Hex
Head Bolts (133)with two 3/8"x19mm Flat Washers (164) and two 3/8"x7T Nylon Nuts (157).
From the top install four 5/16"x2-1/4" Hex Head Bolts (135), four 5/16" Split Washers (182),
four 5/16"x20 Flat Washers (170), and four 5/16" Star Washers (183), as shown in figure 1, and
tighten with the 13/14 mm Wrench (184) and 12/14mm Wrench (187).
.
Connect the three Incline Motor Power lines by matching the Red, White and Black color
codes of the wires (48) and the 3-pin position Sensor Connector (49). Locate the Console
Mast (12) and Console Mast Cover (96) and slide the Cover onto the Mast as far as it will go.
Make sure the Console Mast Cover is facing the correct way. At the top opening of the Main
Frame of the elliptical is a Computer Cable (50). Unravel and straighten out the cable and feed
it into the bottom of the console mast tube and out of the top opening. Install the Console Mast
(12) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main Frame (1). Pull slightly on the computer
cable at the top of the mast while installing. This will ensure the cable does not get pinched
and shorted during console mast assembly.
.
Put one 3/8" x 2T Split Washer (180) onto the 3/8" x 2-1/4" Long Hex Head Bolt (125) and
install through the left side of the receiving bracket into the Console Mast (12). Put the two 3/8"
x 23 Curved Washers (181) onto the two 3/8" x 3/4" Short Hex Head Bolts (132) and install
through the front of the console mast. Using the 13/14m/m Wrench, tighten the three bolts,
and the fourth bolt, which is pre-installed, firmly. These bolts should be tightened as much as
you possibly can.
.
Plug all of the connectors into the back of the console; Computer Cable (50), two Hand pulse
Cables (57), Resistance switch wire (60) and Incline switch wire (61). Secure the Console (45)
on the console mounting plate with four M5xl0m/m Phillips Head Screws (144).

1. Install the two 25m/m Wave Washers (175) onto the Left and Right side of the Handle Bar axle.
2. Slide the Left (10) and Right (11) Handle Bars onto the appropriate side of the axle. The
handlebars have a small sticker on them indicating L (left) and R (right).
3. Install two 3/8 X 30mm Flat Washers (165) onto the two 3/8" X 3/4" Hex Head Bolts (132) and
install, and tighten, in the threaded holes in the ends of the axle.
4. Connect the two wires (Left-61 to 63 & Right-60 to 62) on the L&R sides together and store the
excess wire, including plastic connectors, back inside the console mast. Place the rubber
grommets (75) over the wire and snap it into the hole in the console mast. Install the Front
Handle Bar Covers (105 left, 107 right) and Rear Handle Bar Covers (106 left, 108 right) over
the Handle Bar axle connections and secure with the eight 3.5xl0m/m Sheet Metal Screws
(142).
