IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%)
or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under
your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed
electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near
a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 40 degrees
C, and humidity is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit breakers: Avoid AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers if possible. These breakers may trip occasionally
during use because of the high inrush currents from the treadmill drive motor. This condition is an issue
with all treadmills and other products with large motors or electric heating elements like ovens.
New laws in your area may require these breakers. If you do have these breakers and outlets in your
home and are experiencing nuisance tripping, you should check to see if there are any other devices
plugged into the same circuit like fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, coffee maker, space heater,
etc. Optimally the treadmill should be the only device plugged into the circuit.
Our treadmills have surge suppressors built in to help avoid nuisance tripping. We have tested several
AFCI/GFCI breakers and outlets with our products that do not trip when only the treadmill is connected.
Brands we have tested are: Eaton (Cutler Hammer Series), Leviton (Smart lock pro) and Schneider
Electric (Canadian home series).
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not
fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
●NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any
operational change you request from the computer.
●Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired work level
on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command
gradually.
●NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power
supply that could damage treadmill components.
●Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill, such as watching
television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray from walking in the
center of the belt; which may result in serious injury.
●NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. Spirit treadmills start with at a very
low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on the belt during
slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.
●Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly
with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster or slower. If you
feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure, contact your Spirit dealer..
