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 treadmill on a at level
surface with access to a 110-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet
with only the treadmill plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR
BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:
To reduce the risk of burns, re electric shock, or injury to
persons:
An appliance should never be left unattended when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, and
before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate under blanket or pillow. Excessive
heating can occur and cause re, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Close supervision is necessary when this appliance
is used by, on, or near children, invalids, or disabled
persons.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return
the appliance to a service center for examination and
repair.
Do not carry this appliance by supply cord or use cord
as a handle.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Never operate the appliance with the air openings

Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions
Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may result.
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
Do not attempt to use your equipment for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
Keep hands away from all moving parts.
The 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 equipment. Quality
athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose yourself (and possibly
others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.
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).
7
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 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 15 amp circuit breaker.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the your equipment 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 110-volt 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.
8
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 work level 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. Unplug the treadmill during an electrical storm as a precaution.
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 which may result in serious injury.
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little nger
pressure
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 Stop / Pause
switch in normal operation.

FEATURES
Handrail Adjustments
The XT685 treadmill allows you to make speed and incline changes on the side handrails. You can also
choose to turn these off if you frequently hold on to these rails. This is achieved by pressing the disable
button on the right side of the lower portion of the console.
Quick Speed and Incline Buttons
You are able to set your speed and incline settings quickly by using the quick keys on the console. Just
press either Speed or Incline, then select either 2, or 3 digits and the treadmill will automatically adjust
to that value. This saves time because you don’t have to press and hold or hold a button down until
reaching the desired value. The maximum value you may input for speed is 12.0 mph or 18.0 kmph and
incline 15.0%
Examples: Press the Quick Incline button, then 1, 0 = Incline Level 1.0
Press the Quick Incline button, then 3, 5 = Incline Level 3.5
Press the Quick Speed button, then 8, 0 = 8.0 mph or kmph
Press the Quick Speed button, then 0, 8 = 0.8 mph or kmph
CONSOLE
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 treadmill. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control
which muscles are activated by changing the incline and swinging your arms. The pre-set programs will
19
determine which lower body muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the incline. Generally
the following guidelines hold true:
The upper body LED’s will light any time your hands aren’t in contact with the pulse grip sensors
The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal muscle
involvement, Amber represents medium involvement, and Red represents full or heavy activation.
0-4.5% Elevation: even muscle distribution, all four muscle groups will be Amber
5-15% Elevation: Quads are Amber and Glutes, Hamstrings, and Calves are Red
Message Center
The console will display Pace, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or countdown), Distance traveled, Pulse,
Speed, Incline, Program Name, # of Laps completed, and Segment Time. There is also a Speed & Incline
prole graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and how challenging the upcoming segments
will be.
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
65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red
20
Dot Matrix Center Display
Twenty columns of boxes (10 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.
The speed and incline proles will display half of the program at one time (10 columns). They will both
scroll right to left.
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. The
Lap track will move in a counterclockwise direction There is a lap counter in the message window for
monitoring your distance.
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.
Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 3) concerning Pulse Grip operation.
21

features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is important to enter the correct age for these
features to work properly.
3. The Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight (default is 150). Entering the correct
body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the + or - keys to adjust, then press Enter.
A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because there are too many
factors which determine exact calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone is the exact same body weight,
age and height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only
to monitor improvement from workout to workout. The calorie count displayed in this program won’t be accurate
because the machine can’t calculate calories expended while strength training
4. The Message Center will now be blinking the preset top speed of the selected program (3 mph or 5 kmph). Use the
speed + or - keys to adjust, then press Enter. Each program has various speed changes throughout; this allows you to
limit the highest speed the program can reach.
5. The Message Center will be blinking the preset top incline of the selected program (1.0%). Use the speed + or – keys
28
to adjust, then press Enter.
6. The Message Center will be blinking the # of intervals desired (default is 10; you may select 10, 20, or 30). Use the
speed + or – keys to adjust, then press Enter.
7. The Message Center will be blinking the desired Interval time (default is 1:00). The time you select will be the duration
of both the cardio & strength intervals.
Note: on average you will complete 15-20 repetitions of the strength exercise in a 0:30 interval. As a general rule, the
longer the interval, the less weight (dumbbells) and speed (treadmill) required; use the + or - keys to adjust, then press
Enter.
8. The Message Center will be blinking the desired recovery time the default setting is 0:30 you desire after completing
both the cardio & strength intervals. Use the + or - keys to adjust, then press Enter
Program Example:
The user selects 10 intervals (5 cardio and 5 strength) with the following interval durations – length of each cardio &
strength interval is 0:30, recovery interval is 1:00
Program begins with a 3:00 warm up (1:00 @ 1mph/kmph, 1:00 @ 2mph/kmph, and 1:00 @ 3mph/kmph)
1st cardio interval begins, lasting 0:30; console counts down to 0:00 and the Message Center displays “STRENGTH
INTERVAL 1 BEGIN DUMBBELL ROW”
User steps off of the treadmill to perform the strength exercise. The console counts down to 0:00 and beeps 3x
signaling the user to get back on the treadmill.
Console displays “PRESS START TO BEGIN RECOVERY”; user walks @ 2mph/kmph for 1:00
Console then displays 2nd cardio interval and the process proceeds until the user has performed 5 cardio, strength, and
recovery intervals; the 5 strength exercises will be performed sequentially as listed in this manual.
The last 2:00 are a Cool Down phase with the user walking on the treadmill @ 2 mph/kmph
If 20 intervals was selected, you would perform each strength exercise twice, before moving on to the next exercise. If
30 intervals is selected, you will perform each exercise once, then repeat the sequence of all 5 exercises a 2nd & 3rd
time.
29
Caution:
Exercises that require dumbbell use - Select a pair of dumbbells that you will be able to safely and
effectively maneuver over the strength interval time you have chosen.
DUMBBELL BENT OVER ROW
EMPHASIS: MID/UPPER BACK & FRONT OF ARMS
1. Grasp the dumbbells with an overhand grip and arms fully extended in front of thighs; feet are spaced shoulder width
apart
2. Maintain a slightly arched lower back throughout the exercise (see side view)
3. Begin the exercise by drawing your elbows up and out until there is a 90˚ bend in your elbows
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the start position
5. Repeat this sequence for the duration of the strength interval
PUSH UP
EMPHASIS: CHEST, SHOULDERS, & BACK OF ARMS
There are two variations of this exercise. If you aren’t able to perform the exercise, place your knees on
the oor, a padded mat, or a pillow. Also, a wider hand position places more emphasis on the chest and
shoulder muscles, while a narrower hand position places more emphasis on the Tricep muscles (back of
the arm)
1. Place your hands on the oor or a set of dumbbells (Caution: be aware that the dumbbells may roll and result in injury,
especially if the ends are round); draw your stomach muscles towards your spine to maintain a straight line between your
ankles and shoulders
2. Begin with your elbows bent at 90˚
3. Fully straighten your arms
4. Repeat this sequence for the duration of the strength interval.
30
DUMBBELL SHOULDER PRESS
EMPHASIS: SHOULDERS
1. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height with an overhand (palms facing forward) or neutral (palms facing one another)
grip
2. Press the dumbbells straight overhead until your arms are fully extended
3. Slowly lower to the start position
4. Repeat this sequence for the duration of the strength interval
DUMBBELL TRICEP OVERHEAD EXTENSION
EMPHASIS: BACK OF ARMS
1. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height behind your head with a neutral grip (palms facing one another); your elbows
should be pointed straight ahead
2. Raise the dumbbells overhead until your arms are fully extended; your upper arms should remain stationary, pivoting at
the elbows
3. Slowly lower to the start position
4. Repeat this sequence for the duration of the strength interval
DUMBBELL BICEP CURL
EMPHASIS: FRONT OF ARMS
1. Hold the dumbbells with an underhand grip (palms facing forward) beside your thighs
2. Tuck your upper arms into your ribcage
3. Curl the dumbbells to shoulder height by pivoting at your elbows
4. Slowly lower to the start position
5. Repeat this sequence for the duration of the strength interval
31
Preset Programs
The treadmill has seven different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These
ve programs have factory preset work level proles for achieving different goals.
Hill
This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual
progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort
(the level that you chose before starting this program)
up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total
workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to
approximately 10% of maximum effort
Incline: The deck elevation is a more gradual and sustained progression. Maximum elevation is in the middle of the workout
and lasts for 10% of the duration.
Fat Burn
This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum
resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained
for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability
to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
Incline: The deck elevation is a quick and sustained progression up to the maximum value (default or user input) for 90% of
the workout duration.
Cardio
This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight
uctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool
down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood ow and lung capacity
32
Incline: The elevation in this program is moderate. There are
several elevation spikes at different points of the workout.
Segment 15 is maximum elevation for this program.
Strength
This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout
duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance
in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.
Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained
elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length.
Interval
This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program
utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle bers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short
in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate
drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets
programmed to use oxygen more efciently.
Incline: This program will spike similar to the speed prole,
but in different segments (columns); this means that all of
your lower extremity muscles will be equally challenged
throughout this program. The incline alternates between 25 &
65 % of maximum elevation.
Calories
Resistance: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum speed level (default or user input level) that is
sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended
period of time.
33
Incline: The treadmill elevation is a quick and sustained
progression up to the maximum value (default or user input)
for 90% of the workout duration.
Fusion
(Speed/Incline prole graphs are similar to the Interval Program)
Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of cardio & strength intensity followed by recovery periods of low
intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle bers which are used when performing tasks that are
intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery
and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efciently.
Incline: This program will spike similar to the speed prole, but in different segments (columns); this means that all of your
lower extremity muscles will be equally challenged throughout this program. The incline alternates between 25 & 65 % of
maximum elevation.
34
Heart Rate Programs
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benets of exercising
comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With
the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people nd that their usual choice of exercise intensity
was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in
the desired benet range.
To determine the benet range in which you wish to train, you must rst determine your Maximum
Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will
give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart
rate range for specic goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training
zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of
your MHR is the recommended for burning fat while 80%
is recommended for strengthening the cardio vascular
system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum
benet.
For someone who is 40 years old their
target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would
be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
35
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically.
Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide
upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the heart
and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person
whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular
tness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A
denition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular
tness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR
on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise
program.
With all Spirit Fitness Heart Rate programs you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using
the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine
different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.

Rate of Perceived Exertion
Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more
variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health,
emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all
contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of
these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish
physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel
or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort
You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example a
rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the
factors discussed earlier. That is the major benet of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel
strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will
support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will
feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.
37
Wearing The Chest Strap
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking key.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain
comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your torso facing away
from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach
the nal end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts,
secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.
However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt
and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before
your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difcult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at
the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens.
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The
length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable
readings. Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the
transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet the areas of the shirt that the electrodes 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 battery is Panasonic CR2032.
38
Using the Spirit F IT App
In order to help you achieve your exercise goals, your new exercise machine comes equipped with a
Bluetooth® transceiver that will allow it to interact with selected phones or tablet computers via the
Spirit Fit App.
Just download the free Spirit Fit App from the Apple Store or Google Play, and then follow the
instructions in the App to sync with your exercise machine. Now you can view current workout data
in three different Display screens on your device. You can also easily switch back and forth from the
workout display view to internet/social media/email sites via icons on the display screen. When your
workout is nished, the data is automatically saved to the built-in personal calendar for future reference.
The Spirit Fit App also allows you to sync your workout data with one of many tness cloud sites we
support: iHealth, MapMyFitness, Record or Fitbit, with more to come.
Syncing the App with your exercise machine:
1. Download the App.
2. Open the App on your device (phone or tablet) and make sure Bluetooth® is enabled on your device
(phone or tablet).
3. In the App click the icon in the top left corner to search for your Spirit equipment (shown right).
4. After the equipment is detected, click Connect. When the App and equipment are synced, the Bluetooth® icon on the
equipment’s console display will light up. You may now start using your new Spirit Fitness product.
5. When you workout is nished, the data is automatically saved and you will be prompted to sync your data with each
available tness cloud site. Please note you will have to download the applicable compatible tness App, such as iHealth,
MapMyFitness, Record, Fitbit, etc, in order for the icon to be active and available.
*Note: Your device will need to be running on a minimum operating system of iOs 7 or Android 4.4 for the Spirit Fit App to operate
properly.
39
Erratic Operation
Caution! Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value
is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Treadmill is not grounded
2. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
3. Fluorescent lights.
4. Some household security systems.
5. Perimeter fence for a pet.
6. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try wearing the
transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit Fitness logo is right side up.
7. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole machine
90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
8. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
Heart Rate Program Operation
Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs
Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80% of the maximum heart
rate. They both are programmed the same way. To start an HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1
or HR2 program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.
After selecting your heart rate target, the program will attempt to keep you at or within 3 - 5 heart beats per minute of this
value. Follow the prompts in the Message Center to maintain your selected heart rate value.
1. Press the HR 1-2 key once (60% of max heart rate default) or twice (80% of max heart rate default) key, then press the
Enter key
40
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Speed + or - keys, then press
the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Speed + or - keys, then press
Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time using the Speed + or – keys and press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Heart Rate Target. This is the heart rate level you will strive to maintain during the
program. Adjust the level using the Speed + or - keys, then press Enter.
Note: The heart rate that appears is based on the % you accepted in Step 1. If you change this number it will either
increase or decrease the % from Step 1.
6. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back
and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key.
NOTE: At any time during the editing of Data you can press the Stop key to go back one screen.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the Incline + or - key on the
console or left handlebar. This will allow you to change your target heart rate at any time during the program.
8. During the HR 1 or HR 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Center by pressing
the Enter key.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Belt/Deck
Your treadmill uses a very high-efcient low-friction hard waxed deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as
clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and
the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and
deck life. 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.
If the original side of the deck shows signicant wear, it needs to be ipped. Contact your service technician for assistance.
Do not apply any type of lubricant or wax to the surface.
General Cleaning
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. Please vacuum underneath your treadmill on
a monthly basis to prevent excess build-up of dirt that can get sucked up and get into the inner workings under the motor
cover. 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
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important though for joggers and
runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6
mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in
the diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt tension adjusting bolts 1/4 turn
each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt and making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with each step.
42
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt could
start tracking to one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If you tighten the belt
a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt - located under the motor cover - that connects the motor
to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be
done by a trained service person.
Treadbelt Tracking Adjustment
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift
near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move
toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
Setting Tread-Belt Tracking
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3
mph ( 5 kmph). Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference which may not be apparent right away. If
the belt is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) 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. If the belt is too close to the right side,
turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread-belt.
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 WARRANTY.

Calibration Procedure
1. Remove the safety key
2. Press and hold down the Start and Fast + buttons and replace the safety key. Continue to hold the Start and Fast key until
the window displays “Factory settings”, then press the Enter key.
3. You will now be able to set the display to show Metric or English settings (Miles vs. Kilometers). To do this, press the up
or down key to show which you want, then press Enter. (The maximum speed is displayed in the speed window, and the
maximum elevation is displayed in the incline window.)
4. Grade return – On (This allows the incline to return to zero when Stop is pressed.)
5. Press Start to begin calibration. The process is automatic; the speed will start up without warning, so do not stand on the
belt.
Adjusting the Speed Sensor
If the calibration does not pass you may need to check the speed sensor alignment.
1. Remove the motor cover hood by loosening the 4 screws that hold it in place (you do not need to remove them
completely).
2. The speed sensor is located on the left side of the frame, right next to the front roller pulley (the pulley will have a belt
around it that also goes to the motor). The speed sensor is small and black with a wire connected to it.
3. Make sure the sensor is as close as possible to the pulley without touching it. You will see a magnet on the face of the
pulley; make sure the sensor is aligned with the magnet. There is a screw that holds the sensor in place that needs to be
loosened to adjust the sensor. Re-tighten the screw when nished.
