Page 17 POWER When the power cord is connected to the equipment, the console will automatically power up. When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The distance window shows the distance in miles and the time window shows the total hours of use.
Page 18 1/4 Mile T rack The 1/4-mile 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. The Lap track will move in a counterclockwise direction. There is a lap counter in the Message Center for monitoring your distance.
Page 19: Quick Start
Muscle Activation Figure There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are activated when using the bike. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance profile during the set up phase of console programming.
Page 20 This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/Down buttons.
Page 21 the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset.

Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, CALORIE NOTE: are not accurate and tend to vary widely.
Page 23: Programmable Features
Programmable Features MANUAL The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the Manual button, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key.
Page 24: Preset Programs
Preset Programs The Semi - Recumbent Bike has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles 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...
Page 25 STRENGTH Resistance: 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.
Page 26 If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the Up or Down key. This will change the resistance settings of the entire profile, although the profile picture on the screen will not change. The reason for this is so that you can see the entire profile at all times.

You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
Page 28: Heart Rate Programs
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 29 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...
Page 30: Rate Of Perceived Exertion
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.
Page 31 Wearing The Chest Strap Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking key. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. 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).

Page 33 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. 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.
Page 34 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. Press the HR 1 or HR 2 key then press the Enter key. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age.
Page 35: General Maintenance
GENERAL MAINTENANCE Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
