Operation of Your Treadmill Getting familiar with the control panel 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.
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 adjust to the desired speed using the Fast / Slow keys (console or hand rail). You may also use the rapid speed keys 2 through 12 to adjust the speed. STEP 3: To slow tread-belt press and hold the Slow key (console or hand rail) to the desired speed.
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.
Programmable Features The ET488 & ET588 offer 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.
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.

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.
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.
Heart Rate Control 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.
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.
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.
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 be purchased directly from Lube-N-Walk here: http://www.jadfitness.com/.
