Q factor. Spirit has designed our pedal system so the Q factor is the smallest in the industry, but we did not stop there. We have also custom designed and tooled a new pedal that provides a two degree inward tilt to compensate for the Q factor not being perfect.
CR800 & CU800 Console Power on Spirit commercial bikes have a built-in generator for power and do not need to be plugged into an AC outlet. To power up the Bike simply start to pedal, the console will turn on automatically.
Console Operation Quick Start 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, all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up and Down buttons.

this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause just press the Start key or start pedaling. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and the console will return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset.
Manual The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload yourself 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 window.

FATBURN The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential.
Page 25
Interval The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently this way.

Custom User Defined Program The custom program allows you to build and save a custom program. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program. The custom program allows you to further personalize it by adding your facility name.

Fit-Test The fitness test is based on the YMCA protocol and is a sub-maximal test that uses pre-determined, fixed work levels that are based on your heart rate readings as the test progresses. The test will take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your level of fitness.

With all Spirit Heart Rate Control bike machines 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.
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.

Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit logo is right side up. (6) 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.

Heart Rate Control (HR) Program operation To start the HR program follow the instructions below or just press the HR key then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window. 1. Press the HR key then press the Enter key. 2.
Maintenance: 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: 1) The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
