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 110-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the treadmill plugged into the circuit.
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. 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.
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 work level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually. NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm.
XT485 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS !!ATTENTION: IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL!! Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly. There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the strap is removed.

FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS Do not attempt to move the unit unless it is in the folded and locked position. Be sure the power cord is secured to avoid possible damage. Use both handrails to maneuver the unit to the desired position. TO FOLD THE TREADMILL Make certain the treadmill is at minimum incline.

FEATURES HANDRAIL ADJUSTMENTS The XT485 treadmill allows you to make speed and incline changes on the side handrails. You can also choose to turn these off if you frequently hold on to these rails. This is achieved by pressing the disable button on the right side of the lower portion of the console. QUICK SPEED & INCLINE BUTTONS You are able to set your speed and incline settings quickly by using the quick keys on the console.
The console will display Pace, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or countdown), Distance travelled, Pulse, Speed, Incline, Program Name, # of Laps completed, and Segment Time. There is also a Speed & Incline profile graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and how challenging the upcoming segments will be. HEART RATE BAR GRAPH The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse is detected.

DUMBBELL BENT OVER ROW EMPHASIS:MID/UPPER BACK & FRONT OF ARMS 1. Grasp the dumbbells with an overhand grip and arms fully extended in front of thighs; feet are spaced shoulder width apart 2. Maintain a slightly arched lower back throughout the exercise (see side view) 3. Begin the exercise by drawing your elbows up and out until there is a 90˚ bend in your elbows 4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the start position 5.
DUMBBELL SHOULDER PRESS EMPHASIS: SHOULDERS 1. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height with an overhand (palms facing forward) or neutral (palms facing one another) grip 2. Press the dumbbells straight overhead until your arms are fully extended 3. Slowly lower to the start position 4.

PRESET PROGRAMS The XT485 has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.
Strength Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of speed up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and gluts. A brief cool down follows. Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length. SPEED INCLINE Interval Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity.
HEART RATE PROGRAMS 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 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.
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.
USING 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 logo centered in the middle of your torso facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80% of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way. To start a HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE BELT/DECK Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck 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 deck 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. SETTING 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/.
