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 3.  
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 it 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.  
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  
plug from 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  
to be used on your treadmill. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg  
fatigue.  
Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation.

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 eleva-  
tion 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  
your voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for  
testing. See Diagnosis Guide, page 15.  
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.  
A red lighted power switch is located on the front base near the power cord. It is not  
necessary to trun this switch off except when service issues arise.  
Grounding Instructions  
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding  
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce 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 in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the  
adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The  
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) 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 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.  
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 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.

IN300T / 400T Folding Instructions  
CAUTION!  
You must be able to safely lift 40 lbs. in order to raise / lower and move the treadmill.  
To Fold The Treadmill:  
Make certain the treadmill is at minimum incline. Lift the treadmill running deck until it  
is secured by the locking telescoping tube assembly in center back of base.  
To Unfold The Treadmill:  
Apply slight forward pressure* on the treadmill running deck with one hand. Lift up on the  
orange unlocking lever and slowly lower the running deck to the floor. Do not allow the base  
to drop. It becomes heavier at waist level.  
*At the rear roller area to relieve pressure on the locking system.  
Transport  
Do not attempt to move the unit unless it is in the locked position. Be sure the power cord  
is secured to avoid possible damage. It may be awkward and difficult to maneuver for  
many individuals. Use both hand rails to maneuver the unit to desired position.

Incline Feature:  
May be adjusted anytime after belt movement.  
Press and maintain Adjust ■■ keys (console or hand rail) to achieve desired level of  
effort. You may also choose a more rapid increase / decrease by selecting desired  
value on left hand (incline).  
Display will indicate incline percent as adjustments are made.  
Incline will remain in it’s position when display is turned off.  
Dot Matrix Center Display (Manual Operation):  
Twenty rows of “dots”(8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The dots are only to  
show an approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a  
specific value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity.  
In Manual Operation the Speed / Incline dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as  
values are changed during a workout. The dot matrix window will show the speed profile  
when mph is adjusted. Asmall flashing light (near Speed window) indicates the dot matrix  
value is speed. If incline is adjusted (small light is steady), the dot matrix window will  
become an incline profile. Only a slight press of the appropriate key is required to change  
the dot matrix display from speed to incline (visa-versa). This window will remain a speed  
or incline profile based on last adjustment. Only the vertical segment that flashes will be  
changed (along with all to the right). This display profile picture is based on a 20 minute  
workout. After 20 minutes the dot will adjust “backwards” (to the left).  
1/4 Mile Track*:  
The 1/4 mile track will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot indi-  
cates your progress. Once the 1/4 mile is complete this feature will begin again.  
*Manual operation only  
Reset Feature*:  
While in Pause mode, press and maintain the ENTER reset key until the clock, Distance  
and Calorie values zero out. You may restart your workout with different values or reset  
clock (countdown).  
*Manual operation only  
Pulse Grip Feature:  
The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per  
minute during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar  
to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Grip  
Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Control.  
Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 2) concerning Pulse Grip operation.  
Calorie Display:  
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.  
Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which  
cannot be used for medical purposes. Calories are not calculated while in Heart Rate  
Control.  
To Turn Treadmill Off (Blank out Display):  
Two methods accomplish this: Use either one.  
(1) Display will automatically turn off (blank out) after 4 minutes (no key operations) in  
Pause / Stop mode. Display will “wake” back up in mode it was in when it auto-  
matically blanked out.  
(2) Remove tether cord. This clears the display to “wake” back up in Manual mode.

Programmable Features  
The SL Series offers 7 factory preset programs on the IN400T and 10 on the IN300T unit.  
Note: You may change any speed / incline level during a workout. It will not be held in memory.  
Each preset program (P-1 and up) has a maximum speed and incline level that is dis-  
played when a desired workout is chosen. The maximum speed that the particular pro-  
gram will achieve will be displayed in the Speed window. Similar with incline.  
Also included are two user programs (U-1 / U-2) for custom workouts.  
Programmable Operation of Your Treadmill  
To Select a Program:  
STEP 1: Press and release the START key. Display will light.  
STEP 2: Press the PROGRAM key. The Speed window will display the maximum  
speed that this program will achieve. The Incline window will display the  
maximum incline of this program.  
STEP 3: All programs have the workout preset at 20 minutes. You may adjust up from 20  
minutes (countdown) using Adjust keys.  
STEP 4: After selecting a program, press and release the START key.  
Treadmill will begin to move and workout has begun.  
Note: The segment time will always be 1/20th of the session time. Within 5 seconds of the end  
of a segment run, a chime will alert a change. This statement applies to both preset and user  
programs.  
Dot Matrix Display:  
Both Incline and Speed profiles will be displayed. However, only one (speed or incline) will  
be displayed at a time. Anytime the speed is adjusted the display will illustrate that (speed)  
profile. Similar with incline. Only a slight press of the appropriate key is required to  
change the dot matrix display from speed to incline (visa-versa). Ared dot just left below  
Speed window, will flash if the dot matrix is profiling mph. Asolid red light indicates an  
incline profile. This statement also applies to Manual operation.  
User Programs:  
STEP 1: Select User U-1 or U-2 via the PROGRAM key. Note that the dot matrix display  
portion will have a single row of dots at the bottom.  
STEP 2: Note the clock (Time) window is flashing. Use the Adjust ■■ keys to adjust up  
from 20 minutes (if desired). Press ENTER key. This is a must to continue  
even if time is not adjusted.  
Note: The time (countdown) value is not held in memory.  
STEP 3: Using the Fast / Slow key adjust the speed level to your desired effort. Similar  
with incline Adjust keys.  
STEP 4: Press ENTER key. Note the next row of dots will flash. This indicates the next  
segment (out of 20) that will be programmed. Repeat step 2 and continue that

Target Heart Rate  
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of  
exercising comfortably. Agreat 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 enjoy-  
able 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 accom-  
plished by using the  
following formula: 220 -  
User’sAge = Maximum  
Heart Rate. After calcu-  
lating 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 cardiovas-  
cular 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. Adefinition  
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 physi-  
cian 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 auto-  
matically controls incline and overrides manual adjustment of incline grade.  
Note: Refer to Heart Rate Control Operation for computer calculated target heart rate.  
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  
The included chest strap is a special high frequency design to minimize outside noise  
interference. It is not compatible with other brands of wrist moniters. The on-board radio  
receiver is also not compatible with most transmitter chest straps (Polar for example).  
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 effect 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.  
If you are receiving erratic radio signals, the large center display will show ERR. You must  
correct the cause of interference to continue.  
Areas to look for on interference:  
(1) Treadmill not properly grounded - Amust!  
(2) Microwave ovens, T.V.’s, small appliances, etc.  
(3) Fluorescent lights.  
(4) Some household security systems.  
(5) Perimeter fence for a pet.  
(6) Loose treadmill console / upright.

Heart Rate Control  
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 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.  
Note: Once you begin the Heart Rate Control mode by pressing the START key, you cannot  
make incline adjustments by pressing the “UP” and “DOWN” keys. The computer makes all  
incline adjustments for you.  
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program (H-1 to H-3):  
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.  
Note: H-3 program allows you to set the desired target before belt movement regardless of age  
input or set percentages.  
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.  
Program H-3 allows the user to set the desired target and should be used if H-1 / H-2  
levels do not match the user’s ability.

Heart Rate Control Operation  
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. See  
page 10.  
STEP 1: Press and release the START key.  
STEP 2: Use PROGRAM key to choose one of 3 heart rate control programs (H-1 thru H-3).  
STEP 3: If choosing H-1 or H-2 anAge value (30) will appear in Incline window. Use  
Adjust ■■ keys to match your age. Press ENTER key. This age input value  
will be held in memory.  
STEP 4: You may, if desired, adjust the Time (countdown) up from 20:00 minutes.  
STEP 5: Press and release START key to begin your workout.  
Note: Calorie calculation does not function in Heart Rate Control.  
Heart Rate Monitor (Only)  
The display will automatically show a heart rate value when receiving a signal input (chest  
strap or pulse grip). You may use this feature in Manual mode or any Programmable  
workout.  
Note: Pulse Grip option is considered a monitor only. Do not use for Heart Rate Control.

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.

Side Only  
Note: Adjustment is thru small hole of end cap.  
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 - Overtightening will cause belt damage and premature  
bearing failure.  
13  
 
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 vary near a 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  
CAUTION - KEEP HANDS CLEAR  
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjust-

ment 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 adjust-

ing 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 relube 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 it’s 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 lubri-  
cated 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  
relubing is necessary.
