Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce 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 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the
adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) 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.

Important Operation Instructions

● ●

●

● ●

NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results

of any operational change you request from the computer.

● ●

●

● ●

Underst and that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately . Set your

desired speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key . The computer will
obey the command gradually .

● ●

●

● ●

NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your house-

hold power supply that could damage treadmill components.

● ●

●

● ●

Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as

watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or
stray from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious injury .

● ●

●

● ●

NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. S pirit treadmills start

with zero speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing
on the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.

● ●

●

● ●

Always hold on to a handrail or grab bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).

Do not use excessive pressure on console control overlays. They are precision set to
function properly 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; adjustments can be made. All buttons should operate and
control treadmill functions without excessive finger effort. Damage to overlay will result if
excessive control pressure continues.

Safety Tether Cord

A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be
used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the treadbelt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop treadbelt movement.

To Use:

1. Place magnet into position on the yellow portion of the console control head. Y our
treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the
treadmill from unauthorized use.

2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power . Note:
The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping and
the clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with
its function and limitations.

The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime the mag­net is pulled off the console. Use the red S top / Pause switch in normal operation.

Dot Matrix Center Display (Manual Operation):

T wenty rows of “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. The dot matrix window will show the speed profile
when mph is adjusted. A small flashing light (near S peed window) indicates the dot matrix
value is speed. If incline is adjusted (small light is steady), the dot matrix window will
become an incline profile. Only a slight press of the appropriate key is required to change
the dot matrix display from speed to incline (visa-versa). This window will remain a speed
or incline profile based on last adjustment. Only the vertical segment that flashes will be
changed (along with all to the right). This display profile picture is based on a 20 minute
workout. Af ter 20 minutes the dot will adjust “backwards” (to the left).

T arget 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.

●

T o 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 -

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 and overrides manual adjustment of incline grade.

Note: Refer to Heart Rate Control Operation for computer calculated target heart rate.

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.

Using a Heart Rate Transmitter

The included chest strap is a special high frequency design to minimize outside noise
interference. It is not compatible with other brands of wrist moniters. The on-board radio
receiver is also not compatible with most transmitter chest straps (Polar for example).

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:

1. Att ach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.

2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain

comfortable.

3. Position the transmitter with the Spirit logo centered in the middle of your body facing

away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of
center). Att ach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and,
using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.

4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.

5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.

However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas
on the reverse side of the belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended
that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users,
because of body chemistry , have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady
signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing
clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t effect performance.

6. Y our workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver - to

achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally
stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings.

Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper
operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. T o do so, moisten
the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.

Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally , it
automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity . Although the transmitter is water resistant,
moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the
transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement
battery is Panasonic CR2032.

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.

If you are receiving erratic radio signals, the large center display will show ERR. Y ou must
correct the cause of interference to continue.

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.

Heart Rate Control

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:

All Spirit 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.

Note: Once you begin the Heart Rate Control mode by pressing the START key, you cannot
make incline adjustments by pressing the “UP” and “DOWN” keys. The computer makes all
incline adjustments for you.

Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program (H-1 to H-3):

Y ou 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. Y our Maximum Heart Rate is based upon
a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Y our age input is performed during the setup
mode.

Note: H-3 program allows you to set the desired target before belt movement regardless of age
input or set percentages.

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.
Program H-3 allows the user to set the desired target and should be used if H-1 / H-2
levels do not match the user’s ability.

page 10.

STEP 1: Press and release the START key .
STEP 2: Use PROGRAM key to choose one of 3 heart rate control programs (H-1 thru H-3).
STEP 3: If choosing H-1 or H-2 an Age value (30) will appear in Incline window . Use

Adjust ▲▼ keys to match your age. Press ENTER key. This age input value

will be held in memory .

STEP 4: Y ou may , if desired, adjust the Time (countdown) up from 20:00 minutes.
STEP 5: Press and release START key to begin your workout.

Note: Calorie calculation does not function in Heart Rate Control.

Heart Rate Monitor (Only)

The display will automatically show a heart rate value when receiving a signal input (chest
strap or pulse grip). Y ou may use this feature in Manual mode or any Programmable
workout.

Note: Pulse Grip option is considered a monitor only. Do not use for Heart Rate Control.

General Maintenance

Belt and Bed - Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed. Performance
is maximized when the bed is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or
paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame.
Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a
month to extend belt and bed life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild
soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured
belt. Allow to dry before using.

Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping
excess off with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.

General Cleaning - Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the
running belt. On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent
buildup. Once a year, you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt
that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.

BELT ADJUSTMENTS:

Treadbelt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very

important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.
Adjustment must be made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension

with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is
located at the end of the right side rail as noted in diagram below.

Adjustment

Side Only

Note: Adjustment is thru small hole of end cap.

Belt Tension

Adjustment

Side Only

Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the
treadbelt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.

When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking
adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by

turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment
should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN - Overtightening will cause belt damage and premature
bearing failure.

13

TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:

The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably
level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and
constant belt adjustment may be necessary.

The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to vary near a side while the belt is running with no one on it.
After a few minutes of use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If,
during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.

TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:

A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments
from the left side only. Set belt speed at

approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjust­ment can make a dramatic difference. Turn
the bolt only a 1/4 turn and wait a few minutes
for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make
1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center
of the running deck.

The belt may require periodic tracking adjust­ment depending on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users will affect track­ing differently. Expect to make adjustments
as required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common
with all treadmills.

CAUTION - KEEP HANDS CLEAR

OF MOVING REAR PULLEY!

Note: Adjustment is thru small hole of end cap.

Belt will move in direction of allen wrench.

ATTENTION:

DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /

TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SPIRIT WARRANTY.

BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:

Do not relube with other than Spirit lubricant. Spirit provides one application with this
unit. See your Spirit dealer for additional purchases. The use of some other lubricants
may destroy the deck surface or belt and will void warranty. Conditions exist beyond
Spirit’s control on belt / deck cleanliness which relates to friction.

You should apply the enclosed belt lubrication after approximately the first 50 hours of
operation. Use all the contents of one container (no more) and spread lubricant onto
middle portion (away from edges) of the deck (under treadbelt) along it’s width. When
walked on, the belt will make certain an even coat is applied. Lubricant is not harmful
to the skin. Lube will be distributed properly by walking at 2 to 3 mph for 3 to 5 minutes
on all areas of the belt. Use handrails for support. The first few minutes you will be
polishing your deck and lubricating the belt backing. Do not run on a newly lubri-
cated belt until the above break-in procedure is done. If the treadmill belt/deck is
kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1000 hours before additional
relubing is necessary.
