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

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 20.
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
Z8

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.

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.
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.
This is used for the HR
control programs and also
for the Heart rate bar graph
(Z500/Z700 only) 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 above 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 90% or 70%, 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 manual
mode or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program
automatically controls incline.
Z8
15
CAUTION!
The target value used in H-1 and H-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 Spirit 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 for on interference:
(1) Treadmill not properly grounded - 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 treadmill console / upright.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS
NOT 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
Z8
16
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.
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1)
program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Control attempts to maintain your
heart rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintain
your heart rate at 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is
based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed
during the setup mode.
CAUTION!
The target value used in H-1 and H-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
CAUTION!
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.
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.
STEP 5: The Time window will now be blinking. Adjust the time and press enter.

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:
If during use you notice that walking belt either shifts to the right or the left of center, first
remove "Safety Key" and unplug equipment from AC power source. Using the M6 Allen
wrench provided, turn right rear roller adjustment as indicated above clockwise no more the
1/4" of a turn. Remove the M6 Allen wrench, insert "Safety Key" and insert AC power cord
into AC outlet. Turn on your treadmill and observe after running a few minutes to see if
Z8
18
problem has been corrected. This may take several adjustments, so repeat the above
procedure.
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
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!
