Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a equipment is first turned on or even during use. If your equipment is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the equipment 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 equipment, 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 in miles and the time window shows the total hours of use.

the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps).

asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count, we do want to be as close as possible.
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 Manual button, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key.

Preset Programs The Semi-Recumbent Bike 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...

INTERVAL 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 24
Heart Rate Programs The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 25
Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program. With all Spirit Fitness Heart Rate programs you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine...
Page 26
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 28
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 29
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 1 or HR 2 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 two reasons: The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
