Spirit 7300 Operation Manual

13 Getting familiar with the control panel ■ Z100 / Z300 Console ■Z500 / 7300 Console Operation of Your Treadmill

14 Getting started: Power the treadmill on by plugging it into an appropriate wall outlet, then turn on the power switch located at the front of the treadmill below the motor hood. Ensure that the safety key is installed, as the treadmill will not power on without it. When the power is turned on, all the lights on the display will light for a short time. Then the Time and Distance windows will display Odometer readings for a short time. The Time window will show how many hours the treadmill has been in use and the Distance window will show how many miles (or Kilometers if the treadmill is set to metric readings) the treadmill has gone. Then a message will scroll across the message window (Z500/Z700) or the dot matrix (Z100/Z300) showing the current software version. The treadmill will then enter idle mode, which is the starting point for operation. Quick-Start Operation: STEP 1: Press and release the Start key to wake display up (if not already on). Note: Installing the tether key will also wake up the console. STEP 2: Press and release the Start key to begin belt movement, at .5 mph, then adjust to the desired speed using the Fast / Slow keys (console or hand rail). You may also use the rapid speed keys 2 through 12 to adjust the speed. STEP 3: To slow tread-belt press and hold the Slow key (console or hand rail) to the desired speed. You may also press the rapid speed adjust keys, 2 through 12. STEP 4: To stop the tread-belt press and release red Stop key. Pause/Stop/Reset Feature: STEP 1: When the treadmill is running the pause feature may be utilized by pressing the red Stop key once. This will slowly decelerate the tread-belt to a stop. The incline will go to zero percent. The Time, Distance and Calorie readings will hold while the unit is in the pause mode. After 5 minutes the display will reset and return to the start up screen. STEP 2: To resume your exercise, when in Pause mode, press the Start key. The speed and incline will return to their previous settings.
Pause is executed when the Stop button is pressed once. If the Stop key is pressed a second time, the program will end and a workout summary will be displayed. If the Stop button is pressed a third time, the console will return to the idle mode (start up) screen. If the Stop button is held down for more than 3 seconds the console will reset.

15 Incline Feature:
Incline may be adjusted anytime after belt movement.
Press and hold the Adjust ▲▼ keys (console or hand rail) to achieve desired level of effort. You may also choose a more rapid increase / decrease by selecting desired key, 2 through 12, on left hand side of console (incline).
The 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 Red (Tri-color on Z500/Z700) “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. Next to the Dot Matrix window are three LEDs labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along with a Display button. When the Track LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Track profile, when the Speed LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Speed profile and when the Incline LED is lit the Dot Matrix displays the Incline profile. You may change the Dot Matrix profile view by pressing the Display button. After scrolling through the three profiles, by pressing the Display button, the Dot matrix will automatically scroll through the three displays showing each one for four seconds. The LED associated with each profile will blink while that view is displayed. One more press of the Display button will return you to the Track profile. 1/4 Mile Track*: The 1/4 mile track will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot indicates your progress. Once the 1/4 mile is complete this feature will begin again. 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.

16 Speakers: The console has a built-in Speakers. You may Plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3, Computer,etc.) into the Jack on the Left side of console. There is no volume control on console, volume must be controlled by Audio Source. To Turn Treadmill Off (Blank out Display): Two methods accomplish this: Use either one. (1) Display will automatically turn off (blank out) after 30 minutes (no key operations) in Pause / Stop mode. (2) Remove tether cord. The Z Series offers 7, factory preset programs, 2 user defined programs and one Manual program. Each preset program has a maximum speed level that is displayed when a desired workout is chosen. The maximum speed that the particular program will achieve will be displayed in the Speed window. Also included are two user programs (User 1 and User 2) for custom workouts. To Select a Program: STEP 1: Press the desired PROGRAM key. Press enter to select the program. The display will prompt you through the programming or you can just press Start to begin the program with default values. STEP 2: If enter was pressed, the Time window will blink with the default value of 20 minutes. You may use any of the up/down keys to adjust the time. After adjusting, or to accept the default, press enter. (Note: You may press start at any time during the programming to start the program.) STEP 3: The Calorie window will now be blinking a value, which is your Body Weight. Entering the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter. A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because there are too many factors which determine exact calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone is the exact same body weight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout. STEP 4: The Heart Rate window will now be blinking a value, which is your Age. Entering your correct age affects the heart rate Bar Graph Display (Z500/Z700 only) and the Heart Rate Control programs. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter. Your age determines the maximum heart rate you may achieve. Since the Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate control features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is important to enter the correct age for these features to work properly. Programmable Features

17 STEP 5: The Speed window will now be blinking the preset top speed of the selected program. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust, then press enter. Each program has various speed changes through out, this allows you to limit the highest speed the program can reach. User Programs: STEP 1: Select User 1 or User 2 via the PROGRAM key then press Enter. Note that the dot matrix display portion will have a single row of dots at the bottom (Unless there is a previously stored program). STEP 2: Note the clock (Time) window is flashing. Use the Adjust ▲▼ keys to adjust up from 10 minutes (if desired). Press ENTER key. This is a must to continue even if time is not adjusted. STEP 3: The Calorie window will now be blinking a bodyweight value. Enter your bodyweight and press Enter. STEP 4: The Pulse window will now be blinking an Age value. Adjust the age and press enter. STEP 5: The first column (segment) will now be blinking. Using the Fast / Slow keys, adjust the speed level to your desired effort for the first segment then press enter. The second column will now be blinking. Repeat the above process until all segments have been programmed. The first column will be blinking again. This is for the incline programming. Repeat the above process to program all segments for incline. STEP 6: Press the Start button to begin the workout and also save the program to memory.
