WARNING!
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill.As with any appliance with a large
motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the
elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more,
the performance of your treadmill 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 treadmill 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 specification 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 treadmill is first turned on or even during use. If your treadmill is tripping the house circuit breaker (even
though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the treadmill 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
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill 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 qualified 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 fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt 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 qualified 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.

ƒ NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of
any operational change you request from the computer.
ƒ Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired
work level on the computer console and release the adjustment key.The computer will obey
the command gradually.
ƒ NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household
power supply that could damage treadmill components. Unplug the treadmill during an
electrical storm as a precaution.
ƒ Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as
watching television, reading, etc.These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may
result in serious injury.
ƒ Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys.They are precision set to function
properly with little finger pressure.
Safety Tether Cord
ƒ A safety 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 tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt
movement.To Use:
1. Place the magnet into position on the round metal portion of the console control head.
Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures
the treadmill from unauthorized use.
2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note:The
magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping.The clip
should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its
function and limitations.The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two
step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the Stop / Pause switch in
normal operation.

Handrail Adjustments
The XT685 treadmill allows you to make speed and incline
changes on the side handrails.You can also choose to turn these off if
you frequently hold on to these rails.This is achieved by pressing the
disable button on the right side of the lower portion of the console.
Quick Speed & Incline Buttons
You are able to set your speed and incline settings quickly by using the quick keys on the con-
sole. Just press either Speed or Incline, then select either 1 or 2 digits and the treadmill will auto-
matically adjust to that value.This saves time because you don’t have to press and hold or hold
a button down until reaching the desired value.The maximum value you may input for speed is
9.9 mph or kmph and incline 9.5%
Examples: Press the Quick Incline button, then 1, 0 = Incline Level 1.0
Press the Quick Incline button, then 3, 5 = Incline Level 3.5
Press the Quick Speed button, then 8, 0 = 8.0 mph or kmph
Press the Quick Speed button, then 0, 8 = 0.8 mph or kmph
Console
MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console.This figure will light all areas that
are activated when using the treadmill.These will light up during any of the programs.You can
control which muscles are activated by changing the incline and swinging your arms.The pre-set
programs will determine which lower body muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting
the incline. Generally the
following guidelines hold true:
•
The upper body LED’s will light any time your hands aren’t in contact with 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.
ƒ
0-4.5% Elevation: even muscle distribution, all four
muscle groups will be Amber
ƒ
5-15% Elevation: Quads are Amber and Glutes, Hamstrings,
and Calves are Red

1st cardio interval begins, lasting 0:30; console counts down to 0:00 and the Message Center displays
“STRENGTH INTERVAL BEGIN DUMBBELL ROW”
•
User steps off of the treadmill to perform the strength exercise.The console counts down to 0:00 and beeps 3x
signaling the user to get back on the treadmill.
•
•
Console displays “PRESS STARTTO BEGIN RECOVERY”; user walks @ 2mph for 1:00
Console then displays 2nd cardio interval and the process proceeds until the user has performed 5 cardio,
strength, and recovery intervals; the 5 strength exercises will be performed
sequentially as listed in this manual.
•
The last 2:00 are a Cool Down phase with the user walking on the treadmill @ 2 mph
If 20 intervals was selected, you would perform each strength exercise twice, before moving on to the next exercise.
If 30 intervals is selected, you will perform each exercise once, then repeat the
sequence of all 5 exercises a 2nd & 3rd time.
CAUTION
Exercises that require dumbbell use - Select a pair of dumbbells that you will be able to safely and effectively
maneuver over the strength interval time you have chosen.

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.
HILL
Resistance: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
Incline:The deck elevation is a more gradual and sustained progression. Maximum elevation is in the middle of the
workout and lasts for 10% of the duration
SPEED
INCLINE
FAT BURN
Resistance:This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum speed 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.
Incline:The deck elevation is a quick and sustained progression up to the maximum value (default or user input) for
90% of the workout duration.
SPEED
INCLINE
CARDIO
Resistance:This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum speed level (default or user input
level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, be-
fore beginning a quick cool down.This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
Incline:The elevation in this program is moderate.There are several elevation spikes at different points of the
workout. Segments 4, 9, and 14 are maximum elevation for this program.

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.
This program utilizes and develops your “FastTwitch” 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.
Incline:This program will spike similar to the speed profile, but in different segments (columns); this means that all of
your lower extremity muscles will be equally challenged throughout this program.The incline alternates between 25
& 65 % of maximum elevation

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.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first 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 specific 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 zone that burns fat while 80% is for
strengthening the cardio vascular system.This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.
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 fitness (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
fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart.A defini-
tion of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness 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 treadmills 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
6 Minimal
7Very,very light
8Very,very light +
9Very light
10Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17Very hard
18Very hard +
19Very,very hard
20 Maximal
You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rat-
ing. 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 benefit 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 locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to re-
main 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 final 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
difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning.After “warming up”, this problem lessens.As
noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.
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 treadmill 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.

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.A
mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured
belt. Allow to dry before using.
The low maintenance (routine monthly cleaning), dual sided hard wax deck is designed to
withstand up to 20,000 miles on each side. If the original side of the deck shows significant wear,
it needs to be flipped. Contact your service technician for assistance. Do not apply any
type of lubricant or wax to the surface.
Belt Adjustments
Tread-beltTension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important
though for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.
Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6mm Allen wrench provided in the parts
package.The adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram
below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage
at the front roller.Turn the tread-belt tension adjusting
bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by
walking on the belt and making sure it is not slipping or
hesitating with each step.When an adjustment is made
to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts
on both sides evenly or the belt could start tracking to
one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. If you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt -
located under the motor cover - that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose
it feels similar to the walking belt being loose.Tightening the motor belt should be done by a
trained service person.

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.
SETTINGTREAD-BELTTRACKING
An 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side
bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference
which may not be apparent right away. If the belt
is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) 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.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the
bolt counter-clockwise.The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on use
and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make
adjustments as required to center the tread-belt.Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all
treadmills.
ATTENTION
Damage to the running belt resulting from improper tracking / tension adjustments is not
covered under the Spirit Fitness warranty.

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. If the lubricant dries out, the
friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on
the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which
could result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular
intervals may void the warranty.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180 hours
of use.The console has a built in lubrication reminder indicator that lights every 180 hours of use.
Use the lubricant to lubricate the deck beneath the belt. If you can reach under the belt approximately
6” on each side, use the following procedure: Unplug the electrical cord.At the middle of the deck, lift up
on the belt and reach under with the tube of lubricant. Squirt most of the lubricant on the deck surface.
Repeat the process on the opposite side. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and walk on the belt
at a moderate speed for five minutes.
If unable to perform the above procedure, it will be necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6
mm Allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps –
enough to get your hand under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount
of turns and also remember how many turns, because when finished you will need to tighten the bolts
back to the point they were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt.Apply the whole
tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze out the contents
of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot line, like toothpaste on a
toothbrush.The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance from
both side edges of the belt.You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit
the belt as you are walking.This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to
walk on the treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly use
the treadmill for running, the spot where your feet land may be different from walking.
Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you
loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 3 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two to
make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side then follow the belt
tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill
immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed.
