FEATURES HANDRAIL ADJUSTMENTS The 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.
Page 15
The console will display Pace, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or countdown), Distance travelled, Pulse, Speed, Incline, Program Name, # of Laps completed, and Segment Time. There is also a Speed & Incline profile graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and how challenging the upcoming segments will be.
OPERATION OF YOUR CONSOLE GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTROL PANEL CONSOLE GETTING STARTED Power the treadmill on by plugging it into an appropriate wall outlet, then turn on the power switch located at the front of the treadmill below the motor cover. Ensure that the safety key is installed, as the treadmill will not power on without it.
QUICK-START/MANUAL OPERATION STEP 1: Press and release the Start key to wake display up (if not already on). Note: Installing the tether key will also wake up the console. STEP 2: Press and release the Start key to begin belt movement, at .5 mph (1 kmph), then adjust to the desired speed using the Fast/Slow keys (console or hand rail).
Page 18
0.4 KM (1/4 MILE) TRACK The 1/4-mile or 0.4 km track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing segment indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will begin again. There is a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES The treadmill offers seven factory preset-programs, two user defined programs and one Manual program. Each preset program has a maximum speed level that is displayed when a desired workout is chosen. The maximum speed that the particular program will achieve will be displayed in the Speed window.
USER PROGRAMS STEP 1: Press the User 1-2 key once for User 1 or twice for User 2 then press Enter. Note that the dot matrix display portion will have a single row of segments at the bottom (Unless there is a previously stored program).
Page 21
STEP 5: The Message Center will now be blinking the preset top speed of the selected program(3 mph or 3 kmph). Use the + 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.
Page 22
STEP 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;...
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.
Page 24
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.
PRESET PROGRAMS The treadmill has eight different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. Seven of these programs have factory preset Speed and Incline level profiles for achieving different goals. Hill Resistance: 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.
Page 26
Strength Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of speed 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 gluts. A brief cool down follows. Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length.
HEART RATE PROGRAMS The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits 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 find 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 benefit range.
Page 28
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.
USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
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.
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.
Page 38
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.
