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: 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.
■Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both
carpet and treadmill may result.
■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.
■Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other
caution areas that can cause harm.
■Keep hands away from all moving parts.
■Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug. If it 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.
■Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
■Do not use outdoors.
■To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, remove tether cord, then remove
plug from outlet.
■Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is
intended.
■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.
■Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.
■Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable
to be used on your treadmill. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg
fatigue.

Important Electrical Information
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.

Target Heart Rate
● Theoldmotto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by thebenefitsof
exercisingcomfortably. Agreat deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart
ratemonitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their
choiceofexerciseintensityiseither too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoy-
ablebymaintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
● To determine the

youwishtotrain,you
mustfirst determineyour
MaximumHeartRate.
Thiscanbeaccom-
plishedby using the
followingformula: 220 -
User’sAge = Maximum

Using a Heart Rate Transmitter
Theincludedcheststrapisa special high frequency design to minimize outside noise
interference. Itis not compatible with other brands of wrist moniters. Theon-boardradio
receiveris also not compatible with most transmitter chest straps (Polarforexample).
Howto wear yourwirelesschest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmittertotheelasticstrap using the locking parts.
2. Adjustthestrapastightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain
comfortable.
3. Positionthetransmitterwith the Spiritlogocenteredinthemiddle of your body facing
awayfrom your chest(somepeople must positionthetransmitterslightly left of
center). Attachthefinalend of the elastic strapbyinsertingthe round end and,
usingthe locking parts,securethe transmitter andstraparound your chest.
4. Positionthetransmitter immediately below thepectoralmuscles.
5. Sweatisthe best conductor to measure veryminuteheartbeat electrical signals.
However, plain water can also be used topre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas
onthereversesideof the belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended
thatyou wear the transmitterstrapa few minutes beforeyourworkout. Some users,
becauseof body chemistry, have a more difficulttimeinachievingastrong, steady
signalat the beginning. After“warming up”,thisproblemlessens. Asnoted,wearing
clothingover thetransmitter/strapdoesn’t effect performance.
6. Your workoutmustbewithin range -distancebetween transmitter/receiver -to
achievea strongsteadysignal. The length ofrangemay vary somewhatbutgenerally
stayclose enough to the console to maintain good,strong,reliablereadings.
Wearingthetransmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper
operation. If you wish,youmaywear the transmitter over ashirt. To do so, moisten
theareas of the shirtthattheelectrodes 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
batteryis 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.
Ifyou are receiving erratic radio signals,thelargecenter display will show ERR. You must
correctthe cause ofinterferenceto continue.
Areas to look for on interference:
(1) Treadmill notproperlygrounded - Amust!
(2) Microwaveovens,T.V.’s,small appliances, etc.
(3) Fluorescentlights.
(4) Somehousehold securitysystems.
(5) Perimeter fence for a pet.

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:
AllSpirittreadmills that are factory equippedwithaHeart Rate Control system have many
distinctfeatures both in the HeartRateControlprogram and during heartratemonitoring.
Thissectionwill give you a more detailed background to use yourtreadmillinthemost
effectivemanner.
How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:
HeartRate Control usesyourtreadmill’s incline systemtoadjustyour heart rate. Increases
anddecreases in elevation affect heartratemuchmore efficiently than changesinspeed.
Additionally,changesinincline keep you in control of the machine’sspeedinsteadofthe
machinecontrollingyou.
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):
Youhave the option, duringthesetupmode, to choose eithertheWeightControl(H-1)
programor the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Controlattemptstomaintain your
heartrate at 70% ofyourMaximumHeart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintainyour
heartrate at 90% of your MaximumHeartRate. YourMaximum Heart Rate is based upon
aformula that subtracts youragefrom220. Yourage input is performed during thesetup
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.

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.
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.

Note: Adjustment is thru small hole of end cap.

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
14
from the left side only. Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjust-
ment 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 adjust-
ment depending on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users will affect track-
ing 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.
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.
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.

Before contacting your dealer for aid, please review the following information. It may
save you both time and expense. This list includes common problems that may not be
covered under the treadmill’s warranty.
