SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI)
wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance
with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route
the power cord away from any moving part of the
treadmill including the elevation mechanism and
transport wheels. NEVER remove any cover without
rst 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.
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 operating temperature
specication is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and
humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops
forming on surfaces).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in
homes are not rated for high inrush currents that
can occur when a treadmill is rst turned on or
even during use. If your treadmill is tripping the
house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper
current rating) but the circuit breaker on the treadmill
itself does not trip, you will need to replace the
home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not
a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a
manufacture have no ability to control. This part is

6
Spirit Fitness
available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at
www.squared.com part #QO120HM. The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated 20 amp circuit
breaker.
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 qualied 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 t the outlet; have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt/20 amp dedicated 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 qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the

7
www.spirittness.com
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 resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer
console and release the adjustment button. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your treadmill; such as watching television,
reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control buttons. They are precision set to function properly with little
nger pressure.
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including Toluene and Acrylamide which are known to the State of California
to cause Cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

POWER
Power the treadmill on by plugging it into an appropriate wall outlet, then turn on the power switch located
at the front of the treadmill below the motor hood. Ensure that the safety button is installed, as the treadmill
will not power on without it.
When the power is turned on, all the lights on the display will light for a short time. Then the Time and
Distance windows will display odometer readings for a short time. The Time window will show how many
hours the treadmill has been in use and the Distance window will show how many miles (or Kilometers if
the treadmill is set to metric readings; see maintenance for changing settings) the treadmill has gone. A
message will be displayed showing the current software version. The treadmill will then enter idle mode,
which is the starting point for operation.
CSAFE FEATURE
Your console is equipped with a CSAFE feature. The Power (POWER) port can
be used for powering a remote controlled audio-visual system by connecting
a cable from the remote to the Power port at the back of the console. The
Communication port (COMM) can be used to interact with tness software
applications.
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.

QUICK START
• Press and release any button to wake display up if not already on.
• Press and release the Start button to begin belt movement at 0.5 mph, then adjust to the desired speed using the
Up/Down Speed buttons. You may also use the Direct Access Speed Buttons 1 through 12 to set to a specic
speed directly.
• To slow the treadmill belt press and hold the Speed Down button (console or hand rail) to the desired speed. You
may also press the Direct Access Speed Buttons, 1 through 12.
• To stop the treadmill belt press and release the red Stop button.
PAUSE/STOP/PRESET
• When the treadmill is running the pause feature may be utilized by pressing the red Stop button once. This will
slowly decelerate the treadmill belt to a 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.
• To resume your exercise when in Pause mode, press the Start button. The speed and incline will return to their
previous settings.
• Pressing the Stop button twice will end the program 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.
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 Stop / Pause switch in
normal operation.

18
Spirit Fitness
• When you are setting data, such as age and time, for a program pressing the Stop button will allow you to go
back one step for each button press.
INCLINE
• Incline may be adjusted anytime after the belt starts moving.
• Press and hold the adjust Incline Up/Down buttons to achieve desired level of effort. You may also choose a
more rapid increase / decrease by selecting a rapid incline button, 1 through 15, on left hand side of console
(incline).
• The display will indicate incline numbers as percent of grade (the same as grade of a road) as adjustments are
made.
DOT MATRIX MESSAGE CENTER
Ten rows of dots indicate each level of a workout in manual mode. Displays messages that help guide you
through the programming process. During a program the message window displays your workout data.
The dots are only to show an approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate
a specic value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the
Speed / Incline Dot Matrix Message Center will build a prole “picture” as values are changed during a
workout. There are twenty-four columns, indicating time. The 24 columns are divided into 1/24th of the
total time of the program. When the time is counting up from zero (as in quick start) each column represents
1 minute.
Next to the Dot Matrix Message Center are three LED lights labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along with
a Up/Down Scan button. When the Track LED is lit the Dot Matrix Message Center displays the Track
prole, when the Speed LED is lit the Dot Matrix Message Center displays the Speed prole and when the
Incline LED is lit it displays the Incline prole. You may change the prole view by pressing the Up/Down
