Important Safety Instructions WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance. DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your Spirit treadmill from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work. WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the treadmill on a flat level surface with access to a 120-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet.
Important Electrical Information WARNING! NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. Large switching currents of the drive motor will trip GFCI type outlets, as will any appliance with a large motor. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
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.

set lower than this speed. The program profile will remain the same as shown on the following page, just smaller. After adjusting the top speed, press enter. Step 4.

Quick-Start Operation: STEP 1: Attach the Safety key to enable the display (if not already on). STEP 2: Press the Start key to begin belt movement. Then adjust to the desired speed using the Fast / Slow keys (console or handgrip). You may also use the rapid speed keys 2 through 10 to adjust the speed.
Dot Matrix Center Display (Program Operation): Twenty rows of dots (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The dots are only to show an approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In operation the Speed / Incline dot matrix window will build a profile picture as values are changed during a workout.
Programmable Features Factory preset programs (P1~P5), 2 user defined programs, and one Manual program. Each preset program has a maximum speed level that is displayed when a desired workout is chosen. The maximum speed that the particular program will achieve will be displayed in the Speed window.

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.
REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY! Special Operations of Heart Rate Functions: All Spirit treadmills that are factory equipped with a Heart Rate Control system have many distinct features both in the Heart Rate Control program and during heart rate monitoring. This section will give you a more detailed background to use your treadmill in the most effective manner.
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.
