WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, re, electric
shock, or injury to persons, install the bike on a at level
surface with access to a 115-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet
with only the bike plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR
BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:
• To reduce the risk of burns, re electric shock, or
injury to persons:
• An appliance should never be left unattended when

Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions
To disconnect turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may
result.
• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the
age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
• Do not attempt to use your equipment for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
• Keep hands away from all moving parts.
• The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to provide you with an approximate measurement
in relation to your target heart rate. Use of a chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much more accurate
method of heart rate analysis .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.
• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your equipment.
Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose yourself (and
possibly others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.
Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING
NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting D.C. power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the
performance of your tness bike may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect
the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this Semi-Recumbent Bike to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near
a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating temperature specication is 40 to 120 degrees
Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
6
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a
equipment is rst turned on or even during use. If your equipment is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it
is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the equipment itself does not trip, you will need to replace the
home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no
ability to control. This part is available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available
online at www.squared.com part #QO120HM. The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated 15 amp circuit breaker.
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including Toluene and Acrylamide which are known to the State of California
to cause Cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

operational change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer
console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• NEVER use your tness bike during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that
could damage tness bike components. Unplug the tness bike during an electrical storm as a precaution.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your Semi-Recumbent Bike; such as watching
television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.

POWER
When the power cord is connected to the tness bike, the console will automatically power up.
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press START
WORKOUT on the screen, or press the Start key to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start
mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually
by pressing the Level Up/ Down buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit
at rst.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The rst 5 levels are very easy
workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned
users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next
remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels16-20 are
extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
Basic Information
The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will
pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many
things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during
Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program
will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg.
17
HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the
console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a
previous screen or segment function. This allows you to go back to change programming data.
Programming The Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph
shows the correct number. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control program to
ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be
too high or low for you; entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading.
Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not
accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout.
The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is
because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to
burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have nished exercising!

31
PRESET PROGRAMS
The elliptical has ve different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These
ve programs have factory preset work level proles for achieving different goals.
HILL program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of
maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort
which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to
approximately 10% of maximum effort..
32
FAT BURN program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or
user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability
to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
33
CARDIO program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or
user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then
recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and
increase blood flow and lung capacity.
34
STRENGTH program has a gradual progression of resistance 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 glutes. A brief cool down follows.
35
HIIT, OR HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL Training, program takes you through high levels of intensity
followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch”
muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration.
These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and
heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen
more efficiently.
36
CUSTOM program allows you to set the level variations within a program profile. Once the profile
is defined, choose target time and maximum level, so the intensity adapts accordingly. Every
program can be saved as a template once adjusted or once completed. Press Save as to save the
program with the current settings. You can manage saved programs in TEMPLATES. To delete a
template, tap on it, then press Delete in the top right corner. Maximum of 12 template programs
can be stored. A Template program is only available to a user who created it.
37
HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Note: You must wear a 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 an HR
program select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Next button and follow the directions on the
screen.
38
Heart Rate Programs
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benets 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 nd 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 benet range.
To determine the benet range in which you wish to train, you must rst determine your Maximum
Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will
give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart
rate range for specic goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training
zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the recommended for
burning fat while 80% is recommended for strengthening
the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to
stay in for maximum benet.
For someone who is 40 years old their
target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would
be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
39
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically.
Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide
upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the
heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR
for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either
cardiovascular tness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally
through the chart. A denition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If
your goal is cardiovascular tness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%,
respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before
participating in any exercise program.
With all Spirit Fitness Heart Rate programs you may use the heart rate monitor feature without
using the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the
nine different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.
40
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.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish
physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you
feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort
6 Minimal
7 Very,very light
8 Very,very light +

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example a
rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the
factors discussed earlier. That is the major benet of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will
feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the
RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition,
your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

Wearing The Chest Strap
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking key.
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).
Attach the nal 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 directly 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 ribbed oval
areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the 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 difcult
time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens.
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 directly on bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear
the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet 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 Semi - Recumbent Bike for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid
Actual Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a
problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Treadmill not properly grounded - Proper grounding is a must!
2. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
3. Fluorescent lights.
4. Some household security systems.
5. Perimeter fence for a pet.
6. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try
wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit Fitness logo is right
side up.
7. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source,
turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
8. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

Using the Spirit App
In order to help you achieve your exercise goals, your new exercise machine comes equipped with a
Bluetooth® transceiver that will allow it to interact with selected phones or tablet computers via the
Spirit App.
Just download the free Spirit App from the Apple Store or Google Play, and then follow the
instructions in the App to sync with your exercise machine. Now you can view current workout
data in three different Display screens on your device. You can also easily switch back and forth from
the workout display view to internet/social media/email sites via icons on the display screen. When
your workout is nished, the data is automatically saved to the built-in personal calendar for future
reference.
The Spirit App also allows you to sync your workout data with one of many tness cloud sites.
Syncing the App with your exercise machine:
1. Download the App.
2. Open the App on your device (phone or tablet) and make sure Bluetooth® is enabled on your device
(phone or tablet).
3. In the App click the icon in the top left corner to search for your Spirit equipment (shown right).
4. After the equipment is detected, click Connect. When the App and equipment are synced, the Bluetooth® icon on the
equipment’s console display will light up. You may now start using your new Spirit Fitness product.
5. When you workout is nished, the data is automatically saved and you will be prompted to sync your data with each
available tness cloud site. Please note you will have to download the applicable compatible tness App, in order for
the icon to be active and available.
*Note: Your device will need to be running on a minimum operating system of iOs 7 or Android 4.4 for the Spirit App to operate
properly.
44
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons:
I. The hardware was not sufciently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed
during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the
one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufciently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the
service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.
II. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened
III. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the
bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
