Heart Rate Program Operation; Belt Adjustments - Spirit XT385 Owner's Manual

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 a 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 (60% of max heart rate default) or HR 2 (80% of max heart rate de-
fault) key, then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter
your age, using the Speed + / - 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 + / - keys, then press Enter to
continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time using the Speed + / - 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 + / - 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 finished 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.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press
the Speed + / - key on the console or right 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.
9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again, Stop
to exit the program or you can save the program you just completed as a custom user
program by pressing a User key and following the instructions in the Message Center.

Belt/Deck
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient 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.
The low maintenance (routine monthly cleaning), dual sided hard wax deck is designed to
withstand up to 20,000 miles on each side. If the original side of the deck shows significant wear,
it needs to be flipped. Contact your service technician for assistance. Do not apply any
type of lubricant or wax to the surface.

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 6mm 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. 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.
