Features
Adjustable foot pedals, and orthopedically correct footpads
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert,
Spirit engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any price,
offers these unique features. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that many
users suffer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users complain of
ankle, Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain. While researching a solution to these common
problems Spirit engineers consulted Richard DeKok, P.T., M.T.C., of St. Bernards Industrial
Rehabilitation Center in Jonesboro Arkansas.
Together we identified the inherent problem in elliptical designs and developed solutions to solve
the problems. What we found is that when you use an elliptical you tend to push outward during
the power stroke and not just straight back. This causes stress on the outer part of the foot and
throws off the natural alignment of the joints. The second problem we found is that many people
tend to stay up on the ball of their foot during the elliptical motion. Our solutions were simple but
effective:
·
·
The first solution was to add a 2-degree inward angle to the footpads. This might sound
simple but what it does is puts the users joints back into a neutral alignment. This eases
the over stressing of the ankles, knees and hips.
The second solution was to make the foot pedal adjustable to the user¶s style of pedaling
the elliptical. We achieved this by adding an adjustment that allows the angle of the foot
pad to be changed. There are three adjustments. The lowest one will set the footpads at
zero (0) degrees, or flat, at the bottom of the elliptical stroke. The second position sets the
footpad to five (5) degrees and the top position sets the footpads to ten (10) degrees. The
XE100 & XE200 have a spring release pull pin under the rear of the footpads. The XE300
has an Acme crank under the rear of the footpads with a scale showing the degree of
footpad angle on the sides.
Because every body is different, and there are as many styles to pedal an elliptical as there
are people, we found there is no one angle that fit every user. Some users would be up on
the balls of their feet, resulting in numb toes, so we decided to let the user adjust the back
of the foot pad upward to support the heel, taking the pressure off of the nerves in the balls
of the feet and the Achilles tendon. The result was no more numb toes. Some users are
uncomfortable at this angle so for them we designed in three different adjustable angles so
they could find one that feels best for them.
A great side benefit of the adjustable footpad angle is that you end up working different muscle
groups. At the highest angle you will work the quadriceps more. At the lowest angle you work the
hamstrings and gluteus harder. Not a bad perk!
Transportation
The elliptical is equipped with two transport wheels that are engaged when rear of XE Series
Elliptical is lifted.

the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the
console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the
console on press any key.
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 dot matrix display will show a software version (i.e.:
VER 1.0) and the message window will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading
displays how many hours the elliptical has been used and how many virtual miles the elliptical has
gone. The display will look like this: ODO 123 MI 123 HRS.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the programs and
the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the
console.

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
and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot matrix
display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light
indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
Basic information
The Message Window will initially be displaying Speed information. Each time the Enter button is
pressed the next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Speed in RPM and
MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Enter button is pressed during the Level and Watts display the
Scan light will come on and the message window will show each set of data for four seconds then
switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Enter button again will bring you
back to the beginning.
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors
on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate transmitter, will start the Heart Icon
blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or
Pulse, in beats per minute.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or
any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your
workout during Pause just press the Start key. 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. During data entry for a
program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back
one step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you
want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to
select the program and enter into the data setting mode.
The program keys also act as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data setting mode. Under
each program key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use
these keys to enter the numbers quickly.
The E series consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the
switch on the right side of the console case.

Programming the console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control
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.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is
different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn
calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just
press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of
your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default, or saved,
settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level, each
program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7, Strength = 8,
Interval = 7.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and
Weight the first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out
unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
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.

Heart Rate programs
Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:
The old motto, ³no 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.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum
Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This
will give you the Maximum heart rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective
heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage your MHR. Your Heart rate
training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns
fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio
vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone
to stay in for maximum benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old their target
heart rate zone is calculated:
220 ± 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of
maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of
maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would
be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the
console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate
control programs and also for the Heart rate bar graph. After calculating your Maximum Heart
Rate you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the
heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart below represent the
Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training
heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that
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 elliptical 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. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls
resistance at the pedals.

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.

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 ³warming
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.
Erratic Operation:
Caution! Do not use this elliptical 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 for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
(1) Microwave ovens, TV¶s, small appliances, etc.
(2) Fluorescent lights.
(3) Some household security systems.
(4) Perimeter fence for a pet.
(5) 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 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.
(7) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

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
and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot matrix
display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light
indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
Basic information
The Dot Matrix has two display modes:
When you begin a program it will be in the Profile display mode. To the left of the dot matrix there
is a button labeled Display. Pressing this button once will switch the display to show a quarter mile
track. If the Display button is pressed again the Track indicator light, next to the Display button,
will start to blink. This indicates the display is in Scan mode. The display will switch back and forth
between Track and Profile mode every few seconds. To turn off the scan mode press the Display
key again. This will return you to the profile display mode.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom
left of the message window is another Display button. Each time this Display button is pressed the
next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Time and Distance, Pulse and
Calories, Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Display button is pressed during
the Level and Watts display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show each
set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the
Display button again will bring you back to the beginning.
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar graph that shows your heart rate
as a percent of maximum. The XE Series Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system.
Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate
transmitter will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Message Window
will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the
percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving.
NOTE: You must enter your age for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for
details about these features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or
any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your
workout during Pause just press the Start key. 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. During data entry for a
program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back
one step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you
want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to
select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The program keys also act as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data-setting mode. Under

each program key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use
these keys to enter the numbers quickly.
The XE series consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the
switch on the right side of the console case.
Programming the console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph
shows the correct number. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control 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.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is
different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn
calories at about the same rate as during exercise for 20-30 minutes after you have finished
exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just
press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of
your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default, or saved,
settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 150 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level, each
program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7, Strength = 8,
Interval = 7.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and
Weight the first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out
unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
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.

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:
i.
The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were
installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be
necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the
bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service
department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being
dirty.
ii.
Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise.
Noise from build-up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear
is coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is
amplified, in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth
and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a
non-metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a
small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only
need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 4 leveling
pads on the bottom of the rear rails, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the
levelers.
Maintenance Menu in console software:
The console has built in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change
the console settings from English to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is
pressed for example. To enter the Maintenance menu (may be called Engineering mode,
depending on version) press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys. Keep holding the keys
down for about 5 seconds and the message window will display ³ALTXXXX Engineering mode´.
Press the enter button to access the menu below:
