Preset Programs The XT685 has eight different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. Seven of these programs have factory preset Speed and Incline level profiles for achieving different goals.
STRENGTH Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of speed 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. Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length. SPEED INCLINE INTERVAL Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity.
Heart Rate Programs The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits 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 find 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 benefit range.
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.
Using A Heart Rate Transmitter Wearing The Chest Strap 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. 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).
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 a HR 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.
General Maintenance Belt/Deck Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction hard waxed deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and deck life.
Treadbelt Tracking Adjustment The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING An 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph.
Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure Do not lubricate with other than Spirit Fitness approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Spirit Fitness or your authorized Spirit Fitness dealer. Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill.
Solution/Cause Display does not light 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Tether cord not in position. Circuit breaker on front grill tripped. Push circuit breaker in until it locks. Plug is disconnected. Make sure plug is firmly pushed into 115 VAC wall outlet. Breaker panel circuit breaker may be tripped. Treadmill defect. Contact your Spirit Fitness dealer.
Calibration Procedure 1. Remove the safety key 2. Press and hold down the Start and Fast + buttons and replace the safety key. Continue to hold the Start and Fast key until the window displays “Factory settings”, then press the Enter key. 3. You will now be able to set the display to show Metric or English settings (Miles vs. Kilometers). To do this, press the Up or Down key to show which you want, then press Enter. 4.
