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 hood. Ensure that the safety key is installed, as the treadmill will not power on without it. When the power is turned on, all the lights on the display will light for a short time.
Incline Feature: Incline may be adjusted anytime after belt movement. Press and hold the Adjust ▲ ▼ keys (console or hand rail) to achieve desired level of effort. You may also choose a more rapid increase / decrease by selecting desired key, 2 through 12, on left hand side of console (incline).
Auto-Pilot feature This unique feature allows the user to instantly enter the Heart Rate Control mode at any time with the press of a button. The HR2 program button also doubles as the Auto-Pilot button. During any program the user may press the Auto-Pilot button to enter the HRC program. Your current heart rate (the heart rate you are at when you press Auto-Pilot) will be maintained automatically by the Auto-Pilot program.
STEP 3: The Calorie window will now be blinking a value, which is your Body Weight. Entering the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the Up/Down 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.
Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program. With all Spirit Heart Rate Control treadmills, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine different programs.
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 Spirit logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
How the Heart Rate Control Program Works: Heart Rate Control uses your treadmill’s incline system to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed. Additionally, changes in incline keep you in control of the machine’s speed instead of the machine controlling you.
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.

See your Spirit dealer for additional purchases. The use of some other lubricants may destroy the deck surface or belt and will void warranty.
If an extension cord is required it should be as short as possible and heavy duty 16 gauge minimum. Low household voltage. Contact an electrician or your Spirit dealer. A minimum of 110 volt AC current is required. High belt/deck friction. See General Maintenance section on lubrication.
