IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed, including
the following: Read all instructions before using this
appliance.
DANGER -– To reduce the risk of electric shock:
Always unplug this appliance from the electrical
outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, re,
electric shock, or injury to persons, install the
Stepper on a at level surface with access to a
110-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the
Stepper plugged into the circuit. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR
BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:
• Do not operate Stepper on deeply padded, plush or
shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and Stepper
may result.
• Keep children away from the Stepper. There are
obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can
cause harm.
• Keep hands away from all moving parts.
• Never operate the Stepper if it has a damaged cord
or plug. If the Stepper is not working properly, call your
dealer.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• 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.
• Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
• Do not use outdoors.
• To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then
remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not attempt to use your Stepper for any purpose
other than for the purpose it is intended.
• The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Their purpose is to provide you with an approximate
measurement in relation to your target heart rate. Use
of a chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much
more accurate method of heart rate analysis. 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 Stepper.
Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid
leg fatigue.

Spirit Fitness
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Keep children under the age of 13 away from this
machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting
AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%)
or more, the performance of your Stepper 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 Stepper 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 Stepper is rst turned on or even during use.
If your Stepper is tripping the house circuit breaker
(even though it is the proper current rating) but the
circuit breaker on the Stepper 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 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 5-amp circuit breaker.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If the Stepper 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

7
www.spirittness.com
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 110-volt/5-
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 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 Semi-Recumbent Stepper without
reading and completely understanding the results of
any operational change you request from the console.
• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur
immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the
console and release the adjustment button. The console
will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while
pedaling on your Semi-Recumbent Stepper; 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.

POWER
When the DC Power cord is connected to the equipment, the console will automatically power up. If
there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the
console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any button.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will
turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The
distance window shows the distance in miles and the time window shows the total hours of use.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up display.
The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different proles of the programs and the Message
Center will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.
DOT MATRIX CENTER DISPLAY
Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show an
approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specic value – only an
approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the resistance dot matrix window
will build a prole “picture” as values are changed during a workout.

18
Spirit Fitness
1/4 MILE TRACK
The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The ashing segment
indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will begin again.
PULSE GRIP FEATURE
The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout.
You must use both stainless steel sensors on the stationary grips or the heart rate transmitter chest strap to
display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Pulse signal. You may not
use the Pulse Grip feature while in Heart Rate Programs.
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, and is not to be used for medical purposes.
SPEAKERS
The console has built-in speakers and an audio input jack. There is no volume control on the console. The
volume must be controlled on the Audio Source.

19
www.spirittness.com
MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical gure located at the top of the console. This gure will light all areas that are
activated when using the Semi-Recumbent Stepper. These will light up during any of the programs. You can
control which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance prole during the set up phase of console
programming. If you accept the default program prole, the selected program
will determine which muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the
resistance. Generally the following guidelines hold true:
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement:
Green represents minimal muscle involvement, yellow represents medium
involvement, and red represents full or heavy activation.
• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation:
• Levels 1-10: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Amber – Arm, Pec, Quadriceps
& Calves light up
• Levels 11-20: Amber – Arm, Pec, Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Red – Quadriceps
& Calves light up
HEART RATE % PROFILE
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse is detected. The Bar
Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to
your projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the
programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The signicance of the bar graph colors are
as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber

20
Spirit Fitness
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just
press the Start button to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick
Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/
Down buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at rst. As you increase the work load
more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The Semi-Recumbent Stepper will get harder to pedal as the
rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The rst 5 levels are very easy workloads and
the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more
challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting
tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely difcult and are good for short interval
peaks and elite athletic training.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in
scan mode during a program, METS will be displayed for four seconds, then
move on and display Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter button again
will bring you back to the beginning.
