Important Safety Instructions

WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your Spirit treadmill from the

electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install
the treadmill on a flat level surface with access to a 120-volt, 20-amp grounded outlet.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE
OUTLET ON THE END. The treadmill should be the only appliance in the circuit in which it
is connected. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY USING
IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET. A serious shock or fire
hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions, page 3.

1. Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both
carpet and treadmill may result.

2. Do not block the rear of the treadmill. Provide a minimum of 3 1/2 feet clearance

between the rear of the treadmill and any fixed object.

3. Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other
caution areas that can cause harm.

4. Keep hands away from all moving parts.

5. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the treadmill is not working
properly, call your dealer.

6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

7. Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.

8. Never drop or insert any object into any openings.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, remove tether cord, then remove the plug
from the outlet.

11. Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is
intended.

12. The 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.

13. Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.

14. Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable
for use on your treadmill. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.

Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

Important Electrical Information

WARNING!

●

NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. Large

switching currents of the drive motor will trip GFCI type outlets, as will any appliance with a
large motor. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the
elevation mechanism and transport wheels.

●

NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.

●

If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may

be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect
the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper
testing. See Diagnosis Guide, page 27.

●

NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use

outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature
specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity limit is 95%, non-condensing (no
water drops forming on surfaces).

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the treadmill 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 120-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,
(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.

Important Operation Instructions

●

NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of

any operational change you request from the computer.

●

Understand 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 household

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. Spirit treadmills start with at
a very low 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 hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).

Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. 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.

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 tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.

To Use:

1. Place the magnet into position on the round metal portion of the console control head. Your

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. 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 Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.

Assembly Instructions (XT385 / XT485)

!!ATTENTION: IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE
READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL!!

Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly.
There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from

unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could
spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the
strap is removed.

To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill
is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do
not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the
treadmill’s folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab
to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt
the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.

Unpack the treadmill and locate the hardware pack. The hardware pack is separated into five
sections; one section containing tools and four sections labeled steps 1-4 which contain the
hardware needed for assembly of each step. The assembly steps below are numbered one
through four and correspond to the hardware in the numbered sections of the hardware pack.
Remove only the hardware for the step you are currently assembling to avoid confusion and
mix-ups.
