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
AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or
more, the performance of your E•Glide 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 E•Glide 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).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes
are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur
when a E•Glide is rst turned on or even during use. If
your E•Glide is tripping the house circuit breaker (even
though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit
7
breaker on the E•Glide 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.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the your
equipment should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current,
reducing 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 qualied 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 t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt/15 amp
dedicated circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a
qualied 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.
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.

Muscle Activation Figure
There is an anatomical gure located at the top of the console. This gure will light all areas that are
activated when using the E•Glide Trainer. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control
which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance prole during the set up phase of console
programming. If you accept the default program prole, the selected program will determine which
muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the resistance. Generally the following guidelines
hold true:
• The upper body lights will activate when you are either holding onto the swing arms or at anytime yours
hands aren’t holding onto the pulse grip sensors.
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal muscle
involvement, Amber represents medium involvement, and Red represents full or heavy activation.
• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation
• Forward pedal rotation Gluteals & Quadriceps are Amber; Hamstrings & Calves are Green
• Reverse pedal rotation Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps are Amber; Gluteals are Green
Heart Rate % Profile
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the
right of the LCD screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to your projected maximum heart rate, which
is determined by your age that you entered during the programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The signicance of
the bar graph colors are as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red
18
POWER
When the power cord is connected to the E•Glide, the console will automatically power up.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights
will turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0).The
distance window shows the distance total and the time window shows the total hours of use.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up display.
The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different proles of the programs and the Message
Center will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just 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 keys. The dot matrix
display will have only the bottom row lit at rst. As you increase the work load more rows will light
indicating a harder workout. The E•Glide Trainer will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
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. Levels 16-20 are
extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
19
Basic Information
The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in scan mode during a
program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of
workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The
data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter key again will bring
you back to the beginning.
The Stop key 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 key 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.
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.
Program Keys
The program keys are used to preview each program. When you rst turn the console on you may
press each program key to preview what the program prole looks like. If you decide that you want
to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the
program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The E•Glide Trainer has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse
20
sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate
Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse
Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the key on the
left side of the console.
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 is necessary during the Heart Rate programs
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!
21
Entering A Program And Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then
just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start
of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default or saved settings
will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and
Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the rst
time you use the E•Glide Trainer, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either
your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
22

and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the
Start key.
1. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then
press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight value using the Level Up/Down keys, then
press Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go
back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.
6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the easiest level and it is a good idea to stay at level one for
a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any time press the Level Up key; the Level Down
key will decrease the work-load.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Center by pressing the
Enter key.
8. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program or
you can save the program you just completed as a custom user program by pressing a User key and following the
instructions in the Message Center.
23
Preset Programs
The E•Glide 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
This 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.
FAT BURN
This 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.
CARDIO
This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance
level (default or user input level). It has slight `uctuations 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 `ow and lung capacity.
24
STRENGTH
This 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 gluts. A brief
cool down follows.
INTERVAL
This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low
intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle
bers 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
efciently.
Programming Preset Programs
1. Select the desired program key then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting, using the Level Up/Down keys,
then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight value using the Level Up/Down keys, then
press Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.
25
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Resistance Level. This is the peak exertion level you will experience during
the program. Adjust the level and then press Enter.
6. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go
back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the resistance at any time during the program, press the Level Up/Down keys
on the console or above the heart rate sensor grips of the stationary handlebars. This will change the resistance
settings of the entire prole, although the prole picture on the screen will not change. The reason for this is so
that you can see the entire prole at all times. If the prole picture is changed, it also would be distorted and not a
true representation of the actual prole. When you make a change to the resistance, the Message Center will show
the current column and program maximum levels of work.
8. During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing the Enter key.
9. When the program ends the Message Center will show a summary of your workout. The summary will be displayed
for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up display
Custom User Defined Programs
There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The
two programs, User 1 and User 2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe
them separately. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you
can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program. Both programs allow you to
further personalize it by adding your name.
1. Press the User 1 or User 2 key. The Message Center will show a welcome message. If you had previously saved a
program the message will contain your name. Then press the Enter key to begin programming.
2. If you have already saved a program to either U1 or U2, it will be displayed and you are ready to begin. If not, you
will have the option of inputing a username. In the Message Window, the letter “A” will be blinking. Use the Level
Up/Down buttons to select the appropriate rst letter of your name (pressing the up button will switch to the
letter “B”; pressing the Down button will switch to letter “Z”). Press Enter when the desired letter is displayed.
Repeat this process until all of the characters of your name have been programmed (maximum 7 characters). When
nished press Stop.
26
3. If there is a program already stored in User when you press the key, you will have an option to run the program as
it is or delete the program and build a new one. At the welcome message screen, when pressing Start or Enter
you will be prompted: Run Program? Use the Level Up/Down arrows to select Yes or No. If you select No, you
will then be asked if you want to delete the currently saved program. It is necessary to delete the current program
if you want to build a new one.
4. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then
press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
5. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Level Up /Down keys or the
numeric key pad, then press Enter to continue.
6. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.
7. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Resistance Level of the program, press Enter when resistance has been
selected.
8. Now the rst column will be blinking and you are asked to adjust the resistance level for the rst segment
(SEGMENT > 1) of the workout by using the Level Up key. When you nish adjusting the rst segment, or if you
don’t want to change, then press Enter to continue to the next segment.
9. The next segment will show the same workload resistance level as the previously adjusted segment. Repeat the
same process as the last segment then press Enter. Continue this process until all twenty segments have been set.
10. The Message Center will then tell you to press Enter to save the program. After saving the program the Message
Center says “PROG SAVED” then will give you the option to Start or modify the program. Pressing Stop will exit
to the start up screen.
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.
27
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.
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
28
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.

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
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.

Using the Spirit FIT 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 Fit App.
Just download the free Spirit Fit 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 Fit App also allows you to sync your workout data with one of many tness cloud sites we
support with more to come.
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 Fit App to operate
properly.

Erratic Operation
Caution! Do not use this E•Glide Trainer 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. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
2. Fluorescent lights.
3. Some household security systems.
4. Perimeter fence for a pet.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
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 an HRC 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.
33
After selecting your heart rate target the program will attempt to keep you at or within 3-5 heart
beats per minute of this value. Follow the prompts in the Message Center to maintain your selected
heart rate value.
1. Press the HR 1 or HR 2 key then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then
press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Level Up/Down keys, then
press Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Heart Rate Target. This is the heart rate level you will strive to maintain during
the program. Adjust the level using the Level Up/Down keys, then press Enter. Note: The heart rate that appears is
based on the % you accepted in Step 1. If you change this number it will either increase or decrease the % from Step 1.
6. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go
back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the Level Up/Down key.
This will allow you to change your target heart rate at any time during the program.
8. During the HR 1 or HR 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Center by pressing
the Enter key.
9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop.

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 several 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. Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise. Noise from build-up on the
rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is coming from inside the main body of the machine
because noise travels, and is amplied, in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free
cloth and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a nonmetallic scraper, like
the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on the rails with your ngers or
a lint free cloth. You only need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.
III. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened
IV. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the bot-
tom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
SANITIZING YOUR SPIRIT FITNESS EQUIPMENT
• Unupholstered high-contact surfaces (hard plastics) can be sanitized using a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and a
clean, dry cloth. Spray surfaces to be sanitized, and use the dry cloth to wipe clean. Allow surfaces to dry before
using.
• For upholstered or soft-plastic surfaces, use a conditioner after sanitizing. Be sure to follow the instructions provided
by the conditioner manufacturer to ensure proper use of the conditioner.
• Alternatively, you can make your own spray by mixing the proper ratio of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to
reach a 75% solution.
• For more details on sanitization, or to learn how to make your own spray solution, please visit https://support.spirit-
