WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.

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 4.
■Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both

■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 the treadmill 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, remove tether cord, then remove
the plug from the outlet.
■Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is
intended.

fatigue.
Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!
WARNING!
● NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill.
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 20.
● 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.
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.

● 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 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.
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
