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, 20-amp grounded outlet.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE
OUTLET ON THE END. The treadmill should be the only appliance in the circuit in which it
is connected. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY USING
IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET. A serious shock or fire
hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions, page 3.
1. Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both
carpet and treadmill may result.
2. Do not block the rear of the treadmill. Provide a minimum of 3 1/2 feet clearance
between the rear of the treadmill and any fixed object.
3. Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other
caution areas that can cause harm.
4. Keep hands away from all moving parts.
5. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the treadmill is not working
properly, call your dealer.
6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.
8. Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, remove tether cord, then remove the plug
from the outlet.
11. Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is
intended.
12. The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are
intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
13. Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.
14. Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable
for use on your treadmill. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.

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 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. See Diagnosis Guide, page 27.
●
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 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity limit is 95%, non-condensing (no
water drops forming on surfaces).
Grounding Instructions
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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet,
(below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug, or the like,
extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

Important Operation Instructions
●
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
speed 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.
Safety Tether Cord
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used
at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.
To Use:
1. Place the magnet into position on the round metal portion of the console control head. Your
treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill
from unauthorized use.
2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note: The
magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should
be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and
limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime
the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the red Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.

Assembly Instructions (XT385 / XT485)
!!ATTENTION: IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE
READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL!!
Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly.
There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from
unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could
spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the
strap is removed.
To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill
is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do
not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the
treadmill’s folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab
to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt
the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.
Unpack the treadmill and locate the hardware pack. The hardware pack is separated into five
sections; one section containing tools and four sections labeled steps 1-4 which contain the
hardware needed for assembly of each step. The assembly steps below are numbered one
through four and correspond to the hardware in the numbered sections of the hardware pack.
Remove only the hardware for the step you are currently assembling to avoid confusion and
mix-ups.

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. Then the
Time and Distance windows will display Odometer readings for a short time. The Time window
will show how many hours the treadmill has been in use and the Distance window will show
how many miles (or Kilometers if the treadmill is set to metric readings) the treadmill has gone.
Then a message will scroll across the message window (in the XT475) or the dot matrix (XT375)
showing the current software version. The treadmill will then enter idle mode, which is the
starting point for operation.
Quick-Start Operation:
STEP 1: Press and release the Start key to wake display up (if not already on).
Note: Installing the tether key will also wake up the console.
STEP 2: Press and release the Start key to begin belt movement, at .5 mph, then

The display will indicate incline percent as adjustments are made.
Incline will remain in it’s position when display is turned off.
Dot Matrix Center Display (Manual Operation)
:
Twenty four rows of Red (Tri-color on XT485) “dots”(10 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 Manual Operation the Speed / Incline dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as values
are changed during a workout.
Next to the Dot Matrix window are three LEDs labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along with a
Display button. When the Track LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Track profile, when the
Speed LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Speed profile and when the Incline LED is lit the
Dot Matrix displays the Incline profile. You may change the Dot Matrix profile view by pressing
the Display button. After scrolling through the three profiles, by pressing the Display button, the
Dot matrix will automatically scroll through the three displays showing each one for four seconds.
The LED associated with each profile will blink while that view is displayed. One more press of
the Display button will return you to the Track profile.
1/4-Mile Track:
The 1/4-mile track will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot indicates
your progress. Once the 1/4-mile is complete this feature will begin again. There is a lap counter
in the center of the track for monitoring your distance.
Pulse Grip Feature:
The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute
during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar to display
your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Grip Pulse signal. You
may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Control.
Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 2) concerning Pulse Grip operation.
Calorie Display:
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.
Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which
cannot be used for medical purposes.

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. You
may press the elevation/incline up or down buttons to change your target heart rate while in the
Auto-Pilot mode.
Speakers:
The console has built-in Speakers. You may Plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3, Computer,
etc.) into the Jack on the Left side of console. There is no volume control on the console. The
volume must be controlled on the Audio Source.
Handrail buttons disable switch
Just above the Stop button there is a button with a picture of the handrail switches on it and an
indicator light above it labeled Disabled. When the indicator light is lit, the handrail switches are
disabled. This allows you to use the full length of the handrails without fear of activating the
speed or elevation controls.
To Turn Treadmill Off:
(1) Display will automatically turn off (go to sleep) after 30 minutes (no key operations). The
treadmill will draw very little current in sleep mode (about as much as your television when it is
turned off).
(2) Remove tether cord.
(3) Turn of the main switch on the front of the treadmill, below the motor cover.
Programmable Features
The XT Series offers seven factory preset-programs, two 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.
Also included are two user programs (User 1 and User 2) for custom workouts.
To Select a Program:
STEP 1: Press the desired PROGRAM key. Press enter to select the program. The display will
prompt you through the programming or you can just press Start to begin the program with
default values.
STEP 2: If enter was pressed, the Time window will blink with the default value of 20 minutes.

STEP 3: The Calorie window will now be blinking a value, indicating 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.
Even if someone is the exact same body weight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very
different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor
improvement from workout to workout.
STEP 4: The Heart Rate window will now be blinking a value, indicating your Age. Entering
your correct age affects the heart rate Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate Control
programs. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter.
Your age determines the maximum heart rate you may achieve. Since the Bar Graph Display
and the Heart Rate control features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is
important to enter the correct age for these features to work properly.
STEP 5: The Speed window will now be blinking the preset top speed of the selected program.
Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter. Each program has various speed changes
throughout; this allows you to limit the highest speed the program can reach.
User Programs:
STEP 1: Select User 1 or User 2 via the PROGRAM key then press Enter. Note that the dot
matrix display portion will have a single row of dots at the bottom (Unless there is a previously
stored program).
STEP 2: Note the clock (Time) window is flashing. Use the Adjust ▲ ▼ keys to adjust up from
10 minutes (if desired). Press ENTER key. This is a must to continue even if time is not
adjusted.
STEP 3: The Calorie window will now be blinking a bodyweight value. Enter your bodyweight
and press Enter.
STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking an Age value. Adjust the age and press enter.
STEP 5: The first column (segment) will now be blinking. Using the Fast / Slow keys, adjust the
speed level to your desired effort for the first segment then press enter. The second column will
now be blinking. Repeat the above process until all segments have been programmed. The first
column will be blinking again. This is for the incline programming. Repeat the above process to
program all segments for incline.
STEP 6: Press the Start button to begin the workout and also save the program to memory.

Target Heart Rate
●
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 choice of exercise
intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their
heart rate in the desired benefit range.
●
To determine the benefit range in
which you wish to train, you must first
determine your Maximum Heart Rate,
which is the highest your heart rate
should go to. This can be
accomplished by using the following
formula:
220 - User’s Age = Maximum Heart
Rate
(If you enter your age during
programming of the console the
console will perform this calculation
automatically).
90
This is used for the HR control
programs and also for the Heart rate
bar graph (featured on XT485 only).
After calculating your Maximum Heart
Rate, you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular goals of
exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black
columns on the chart above represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at
the bottom of each column. The heart rate training zone for either cardiovascular fitness or weight
loss is represented by two different lines, which cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the
lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it
is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your 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 any of the different
programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls incline.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR-1 and HR-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy
individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in
question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.

Using a Heart Rate Transmitter
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
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 Polar logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from
your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of
the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and
strap around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain
water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the
belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few
minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in
achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As
noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong
steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the
console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against
bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To
do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it
automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture
can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use
to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.
Erratic Operation:
Caution! Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart
Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a
problem.
Areas to look at for interference:
(1) Treadmill not properly grounded – Proper grounding is a must!
(2) Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
(3) Fluorescent lights.
(4) Some household security systems.
(5) Perimeter fence for a pet.
(6) Loose bolts on the treadmill console or upright tubes.
(7) The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise
source, like a radio/cell tower or high tension electric power lines, turning the whole machine 90
degrees may de-tune the interference.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT
REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY!

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. If you listen to your body, it will tell
you all of these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish
physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you
feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort
6 Minimal
7 Very,very light
8 Very,very light +
9 Very light
10 Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17 Very hard
18 Very hard +
19 Very,very hard
20 Maximal
You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating.
For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your
RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of
training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When
your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are
feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will
feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

Heart Rate Control
Heart rate 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. You may press the
elevation/incline up or down buttons to change your target heart rate while in the Auto-Pilot mode.
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1) program or the
Cardiovascular (HR-2) program. The Weight Control program will maintain your heart rate at 60% of your
Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program will maintain your heart rate at 80% of your Maximum
Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from a constant of
220. Your HR setting is automatically calculated during the setup mode when you enter your age.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR-1 and HR-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do
not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age
value that will set a lower target goal.
Heart Rate Control programming
CAUTION!
Heart rate programs are intended for wireless transmitter chest strap only. Do not use Pulse Grip bar for
Heart Rate Control. You must receive a strong / steady value in heart rate window or the program will not
start.
STEP 1: Press HR1 or HR2 button.
STEP 2: The Pulse window will be blinking, showing the default HR for this program. You may adjust
it and press enter if you want or just press enter to accept the default value.
STEP 3: The Calorie will now be blinking showing bodyweight. Adjust and press enter or press enter
to accept default.
STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking showing age. Adjust and press enter or press enter
to accept default. Adjusting Age will change the Target HR value.
STEP 5: The Time window will now be blinking. Adjust the time and press enter. STEP
6: Press Start to begin program.
During the program you may increase or decrease the target heart rate by pressing the
elevation/incline up or down buttons.

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,
wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as
practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed
life. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the
textured belt. Allow to dry before using.
Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Sometimes the black
dust from the belt will appear on the floor behind the treadmill, this is normal.
General Cleaning - Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running
belt. Please vacuum underneath your treadmill on a monthly basis to prevent excess build-up of
dirt that can get sucked up and get into the inner workings under the motor cover. Once a year,
you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG
POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important
though for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment
must be made from the rear roller with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The
adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram below.
Tracking / Tension
Adjustment
Tracking / Tension
Adjustment
Note: Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt
tension adjusting bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt and
making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with each step. When an adjustment is made to the
belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt could start
tracking to one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. If you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt -
located under the motor cover - that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it
feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a
trained service person.

TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they
favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are
necessary.
TO SET TREAD-BELT TRACKING:
(A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment).
Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt.
Set belt speed at 3 mph.
Be aware that a small adjustment can make a
dramatic difference which may not be apparent right
away. If the belt is too close to the left side, then turn
the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) and
wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes
in the center of the running deck. If the belt is too
close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise.
The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment
depending on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users may affect tracking
differently. Expect to make adjustments as required
to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become
less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used.
Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SOLE WARRANTY.

Belt/deck lubrication procedure:
Do not lubricate with other than Spirit approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of
lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Spirit or your authorized Spirit dealer. There
are commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by Spirit is Lube-N-Walk.
These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the lubrication easier. The kits can
silicon based, NOT paraffin wax.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for
your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places
undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in
catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular
intervals may void the warranty.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180
hours of use. The console has a built in lubrication reminder indicator that lights every 180 hours of
use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be necessary to loosen the
walking belt. Using the 6 mm Allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts --
located in the rear end caps – enough to get your hand under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to
loosen both bolts the same amount of turns and also remember how many turns, because when
finished you will need to tighten the bolts back to the point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the whole
tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze out the
contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot line, like
toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at approximately
equal distance from both side edges of the belt. You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot
that your feet would hit the belt as you are walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor
cover, but you may want to walk on the treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet
land on the belt. If you mostly use the treadmill for running, the spot where your feet land may be
different from walking.
Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you
loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 3 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two to
make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side then follow the belt
tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk, not run, on the
treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you
purchase a silicone based Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the instructions that come with it to apply the
lubrication.

Service Checklist - Diagnosis Guide
Before contacting your dealer for aid, please review the following information. It may save you
both time and expense. This list includes common problems that may not be covered under the
treadmill’s warranty.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION/CAUSE
Display does not light
1) Tether cord not in position.
2) Circuit breaker on front grill tripped. Push circuit breaker in
until it locks.
3) Plug is disconnected. Make sure plug is firmly pushed into
AC household wall outlet.
4) Household circuit breaker may be tripped.
5) Treadmill defect. Contact your Spirit dealer.
Tread-belt does not stay centered
Treadmill belt hesitates when walked/run on
The user may be walking while favoring or putting more weight
on either the left or right foot. If this walking pattern is natural,
track the belt slightly off-center to the side opposite from the
belt movement. See General Maintenance section on
Tread-belt Tension. Adjust as necessary.
Motor is not responsive after pressing start
1) If the belt moves, but stops after a short time and the
display shows “LS”, run calibration (See procedure on
next page).
2) If you press start and the belt never moves, then the
display shows LS, contact service.
Treadmill will only achieve approximately
7 mph but shows higher speed on display
This indicates motor should be receiving power to
operate. Low AC voltage to treadmill. Do not use an extension
cord. 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.
Tread-belt stops quickly/suddenly when
tether cord is pulled
High belt/deck friction. See General Maintenance
section on lubrication.
Treadmill trips on board 15 amp circuit
High belt/deck friction. See General Maintenance
Computer shuts off when console is
touched (on a cold day) while walking/running
Treadmill may not be grounded. Static electricity is “crashing”
the computer. Refer to Grounding Instructions on page 4.
House circuit breaker trips, but not the
treadmill circuit breaker.
Need to replace the house breaker with a “High
inrush current” type breaker (see page 4 for details)
