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 house-
hold 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 zero 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 grab bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).
Do not use excessive pressure on console control overlays. 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; adjustments can be made. All buttons should operate and
control treadmill functions without excessive finger effort. Damage to overlay will result if
excessive control pressure continues.
Important Operation Instructions
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 treadbelt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop treadbelt movement.
To Use:
1. Place magnet into position on the yellow 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 and
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 mag-
net is pulled off the console. Use the red Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.
