SR225 TREADMILL ASSEMBLY
By SPIRIT
Dealer
1. Remove treadmill from carton. Do not discard all packing material.
3/15/94
2. Locate parts bag under motor hood. It will contain several allen wrenches, console end caps,
and other assorted hardware. When practical,
SPIRITmounts assembly hardware in appropriate
locations that require removal and replacement.
Note: You will need a 1/2" open end wrench and phillips screw driver to complete assembly.
3. Lift console slightly and remove the cardboard shipping supports. Place the two supports
under the frame directly under the front roller/motor area.
4. Remove the carriage bolt hardware (located in parts bag) that will secure the console. Tilt
console in upright position and install hardware on bracket to frame (flanged nuts on bottom).
Tighten only after all four are started. Also tighten the two side bolts that the console hinged on.
An allen wrench is provided.
5. Remove the two (2) allen screws and nylon shoulder spacers located in the base and the two
(2) on each side of the upper console.
6. Install either RH or LH handle (flair will bend outward) through the access hole in console
display head. Place one black allen screw into the front mounting hole on the handle(s) and start
.into the treaded console hole. Install the second (rear) bolt and nylon spacer for alignment
purposes.
Do not tighten. Tighten the front bolt(s). Remove the second (rear) bolt and place the
nylon shoulder sapcer (removed earlier) into the rear handle hole. Locate aluminum L bracket*
over the nylon shoulder spacer and start black allen screw. Position base of L (aluminum bracket)
against bottom on handle and tighten allen bolt.
*Note: Some design L brackets are obvious RH & LH and will mount only one way.

I
7. The console end caps (RH .& LH) will attach in place via adhesive "patch" (or velcro).
Attached to aluminum L bracket. Remove protective cover from each adhesive "patch" (if
applicable)
8. On cushion-flex equipped models (not on all
SPIRIT units) attach each "black oval"
assembly as follows: See drawing.
(A) Remove flat 5/16" nut from
each stud on rubber mount. Turn treadmill on its
side(s). Place nut with piliot boss down through frame slot at rear of frame.
(B) Screw stud into nut about two or three rounds (turns) only.
(C) Using 1/2" wrench tighten (jam) flange/nut assembly against "black oval".
Note: "Black oval" assembly runs with opening parallel to frame length. "Black oval"
should not move (rotate) freely.
9. Position treadmill in operating position. Start the unit and set (observe) belt tracking. Unit
must be reasonably level for proper tracking.
Note: Some slight adjustment of torque boost on PWM DC board may be
required to minimize "
el
ectronic" caused surging. See dealer manual.
.10. Remove two front motor hood mounting screws from grill. Install motor hood and secure
with previously removed hardware.
11
. Remove protective cover over "SPIRIT' decals (console & base).
Attention
Damage to the treadmill due to improper assembly is not covered under warranty.
GENERAL SAFETY FOR OPERATION
1. Know how to operate your SPIRIT Treadmill before standing on the running belt. Never learn to
use while standing on the running belt - either straddle the running belt with your feet on the
frame black anti-slip strips or stand beside the treadmill.
2. Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas
that can cause harm.
7. Understand Safety Cord (tether) operation and use. It's for your safetyl
8. Always hold on to a handrail to control changes (incline, speed, etc.).
9. Keep hands away from all moving parts.
1O.lf treadmill begins to operate abnormally, discontinue use immediately and refer to general
troubleshooting guide and/or contact your SPIRIT dealer before continuing use.
11.
Disconnect your SPIRIT treadmill from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning or service work.
12.Install treadmill on a flat level surface with access to a 120-volt, 20-amp grounded outlet. DO
NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD: DO NOT
ATIEMPT
TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG
BY USING ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET. A serious shock or fire
hazard may result along with computer malfunctioning.
13. Think safel
GENERAL OPERATIONS
1. Do not install treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both
carpet and treadmill may result.
2. Before using your SPIRIT treadmill, observe a brief break-in period by walk-
ing on the treadmill at 2-3 mph for 5-7 minutes. This will insure proper distribution
of the wax lubricant and eliminate any hesitation or surging caused by the tacky fin-
ish of a new deck. Never
runljog
on a new treadmill
until
after
the
break-in
period.
3. Do not use SPIRIT treadmills equipped with CUSHION-FLEX low impact system on
a rubber mat or similar type high friction surface. Incline damage will result if rear
portion of treadmill does not "slide" as unit is raised or lowered.
4. Should any service problem arise you must contact and expect service from your
SPIRIT dealer. SPIRIT is not staffed nor set-up to handle user service require-
ments. Your dealer has been provided special diagnostic tools and information
required to trouble shoot any potential problem. SPIRIT has and will work with its
dealer network to rectify any manufacturing defect.
Any
service/use
question
must
be
handled
by
the
authorized SPIRIT dealer. No exceptions.
5. SPIRIT treadmills do not function with a
ground
fault
circuit
i
nterruption
(GFCI)
wall outlet. Although amp draw (wattage) is low during operation, on initial start-up
it is higher than normal for a fraction of a second.
6. Expect AM radio static when operating your SPIRIT treadmill. SPIRIT offers an
optional dealer installed filter system to minimize AM radio static conditions. TV's,
FM radio's, telephones, etc. are not effected. This is rarely a concern.
7. Expect short treadbelt life if unit is not kept reasonably clean. Dirt causes
friction
(rapid wear) between
the
deck
and
treadbelt. A condition SPIRIT has no control
ove
r.
8. 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 unit go faster or slower. If you feel keys are not functioning properly with
"normal" pressure contact your SPIRIT dealer. Adjustments can be made. All keys
(within reason) should operate/control treadmill functions without excessive
finger effort. Damage to overlay will result if excessive control pressure con-
tinues.
SAFETY CORD
A safety Lanyard (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 cord/magnet assembly will stop treadbelt move-
ment should the situation dictate.
To Use:
1. Place magnet into position on the console control head. Your treadmill will not
start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill, within
reason, from unauthorized use. Although, many magnet designs can over-ride it.
2. Fasten the black plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good hold-
ing "power." Note: The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unex-
pected, stopping and the clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not
come off instead of the magnet (being pulled). Be familiar with its function and limita-
tions. Use adjustment system to assure proper length of co
rd.
Attention: Expect the treadmill to stop (depending on speed) with a two to three step
"coast" anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the Red STOP switch in nor-
mal operation. The safety lanyard is designed primarily to be used in possible panic sit-
uations.

is
properly
picked
up
and
displayed.
b) If
the
error
(- -)
message
is
displayed
while
the
belt
is
running,
incline
will
not
change.
3. Your
actual
heart
rate
is
assumed
to
have
reached
the
THR
(resulting
in
no
change
in
incline)
when
it
is 2
beats
or
less
either
below
or
above
the
THR.
4.
Prior
to
activating
the
treadmill
(pressing
the
START key),
you
can
check
to
see
if
your
heart
rate
is
being
picked
up
by
viewing
the

in
the

225
HR/PGM
5.
The
rate
at
which
the
treadmill
will
increase
in
incline is
based
upon
the
following
heart
rate
relationships:
a) A
heart
rate
11 to
20
beats
below
the
THR will
cause
the
incline
to
increase
at
a
rate
of
1
percent
every 15
seconds.
b) A
heart
rate
6 to 10
beats
below
the
THR will
cause
the
incline
to
increase
at
a
rate
of
1
percent
every
30
seconds.
c) A
heart
rate
3 to 5
beats
below
the
THR will
cause
the
incline
to
increase
at
a
rate
of
.5
percent
every
30
seconds.
(Note:
The
time
rate
of
increase
allows
your
heart
rate
to stabilize
and
adapt
to
the
greater
work
load.)
6. At a
heart
rate
of 3
beats
or
more
above
the
THR,
the
incline
will
decrease
at
a
rate
of
1
percent
every 15
seconds
.
7.
If
your
actual
heart
rate
has
not
reached
the
THR
after
your
pre-set
maximum
incline
has
been
reached,
a
red
line will
appear
on
the
display
to
the
left of
the
written
inscription
"increase

your
discretion,
you
may
wish
to
increase
the
speed
until
your
actual
heart
rate
reaches
your
THR,
or
you
may
wish
to
reduce
the
THR.
8. If
your
actual
heart
rate
is
greater
than
the
THR
after
the
incline
has
been
reduced
to zero, a
red
line will
appear
to
the
left of
the
written
inscription
"decrease
speed". At
your
discretion,
you
may
wish
to
dec
rease
the
speed
until

CHOOSING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE
The
Heart
Rate
Control
mode
is
an
excellent
way
to
insure
that
you
are
exercising
at
your
proper
THR.
It
is
generally
accepted
that
a THR
should
be
based
upon
your
level of fitness, age
and
sex.
The
chart
below will give
you
an
approximate
THR. Use lower
values
if
you
are
unfit
and
gradually
progress
to
the
higher
THR
as
your
stamina
and
fitness
level improves.
These
values
are
only
gutdeltnes
and
may
vary
considerably
from
one
person
to
another.
Therefore.
it
is
suggested
that
you
consult
with
your
physician
before
you
establish
the
proper
THR
and
use

SR225 MAINTENANCE
BELT
AND
BED
- Your
SPIRIT
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 week
to extend belt and bed life. Use water only - no cleansers, abrasives or liquids. A mild soap
. and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the textured top surface of the
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 weekly 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.
LUBRICATION - Do not lubricate. The use of many lubricants may destroy the deck surface
or belt and will void warranty. Never use
silicone.
This
is a must!
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
LEVEL
- 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.
TREADBELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT - Tension is not critical for most users. It is very
important, however, 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 5/16" Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the
end of the right side rail. As noted in photo below. (Continue on next page.)

ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING
I
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SPIRIT WARRANTY.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slipping 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 OVER-TIGHTEN - Over-tightening will cause damage and premature bearing failure.
TRACKING
The SPIRITtreadmill 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 necessar
y.
A 5/16" Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the
left side only. Set belt speed at approximately 2 to 3 MPH. A small adjustment 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.
For quicker results, adjustments can be made with someone walking on the belt.
The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as
required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as
the belt takes a "set" during use. Keeping the belt tracking properly is a user
/owner
responsibility common with all treadmills reqardless of brand.
CAUTION - KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF MOVING REAR PULLEY!
Belt will move in direction of allen wrench
