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: 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 4.  
Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both  
carpet and treadmill may result.  
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.  
Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other  
caution areas that can cause harm.  
Keep hands away from all moving parts.  
Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the treadmill is not  
working properly, call your dealer.  
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.  
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.  
Never drop or insert any object into any openings.  
Do not use outdoors.  
To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, remove tether cord, then remove  
the plug from the outlet.  
Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is  
intended.  
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.  
Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.  
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.  
Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!  
Important Electrical Information  
WARNING!  
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill.  
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 13.  
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.  
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 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

ERROR MESSAGE:  
ERR: Treadmill doesn’t receive the speed signal for 6 seconds or controller fault then  
treadmill will stop. Restart the treadmill after fixing the problem.  
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. This should be done once a month  
to extend belt and bed life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. 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. Wiping excess  
off with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.  
General Cleaning - Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the  
running belt. On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup.  
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:  
Treadbelt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very  
important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.  
Adjustment must be made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension  
with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is  
located at the end of the right side rail as noted in diagram below.

Note: Adjustment is thru small hole of end cap.

IN839  
 
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the  
treadbelt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.  
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking  
adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by  
turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment  
should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.  
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature  
bearing failure.  
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:  
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably  
level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and  
constant belt adjustment may be necessary.  
The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is  
normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it.  
After a few minutes of use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If,  
during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.  
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:  
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments  
from the left side only. Set belt  
speed at approximately 2 to 3 mph.  
A small adjustment can make a  
dramatic difference. Turn the bolt  
only a 1/4 turn 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. The belt may require  
periodic tracking adjustment  
depending on use and  
walking/running characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to  
make adjustments as required to center the treadbelt. 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 SPIRIT WARRANTY.  
BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:  
Do not re-lube with other than Spirit lubricant. Spirit provides one application with this  
unit. See your Spirit dealer for additional purchases. The use of some other lubricants  
may destroy the deck surface or belt and will void warranty. Conditions exist beyond  
Spirit’s control on belt / deck cleanliness which relates to friction.  
You should apply the enclosed belt lubrication after approximately the first 50 hours of  
operation. Use all the contents of one container (no more) and spread lubricant onto  
12  
IN839  
 
middle portion (away from edges) of the deck (under treadbelt) along its width. When  
walked on, the belt will make certain an even coat is applied. Lubricant is not harmful to  
the skin. Lube will be distributed properly by walking at 2 to 3 mph for 3 to 5 minutes on  
all areas of the belt. Use handrails for support. The first few minutes you will be  
polishing your deck and lubricating the belt backing. Do not run on a newly lubricated  
belt until the above break-in procedure is done. If the treadmill belt/deck is kept  
reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1000 hours before additional re-lubing is  
necessary.  
CAUTION - KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF MOVING REAR PULLEY!
