Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a elliptical is first turned on or even during use. If your elliptical is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the elliptical itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type.

POWER When the power cord is connected to the elliptical, 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 total and the time window shows the total hours of use.
Page 19
Basic Information The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in scan mode during a program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level.

on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute. The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool.

Entering A Program And Changing Settings When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just press the Start key.
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 Start key. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age.
Preset Programs The elliptical has four different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These four 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 maximum effort.

INTERV AL 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 fibers 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.
Page 25
During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing the Enter key. When the program ends the Message Center will show a summary of your workout. The summary will be displayed for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up display Heart Rate Programs The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising...

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.

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 29
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 30
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 key then press the Enter key. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age.
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 several reasons: The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
