...Important Operation Instructions . NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer. Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually. . .. NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage elliptical components. Use caution while participating in other activities while using your elliptical such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance, resulting in serious injury. . .. Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes. Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to properly function with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure, contact your SPIRIT dealer. 4 EL255 Elliptical EL255 5 Elliptical ¦ UNPACKING THE UNIT 1.

Make sure the Console Mast Cover is facing the correct way. • At the top opening of the Main Frame (1) there is a Computer Cable (32) attached to a guiding wire. Unravel the wire and feed the Computer Cable into the bottom of the Console Mast tube and out of the top opening. • Install the Console Mast (10) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main Frame. Pull slightly on the computer cable at the top of the mast while installing, this will ensure the cable does not get pinched and shorted during mast assembly. • Install two 3/8" Split Washers (120) and two 3/8” Curved Washers (114) onto one of the 3/8" x 3" Hex Head Bolt (119) and the 3/8" x 3/4" Hex Head Bolt (121), then install through the front of the Console Mast; just hand tighten for now. Install two 3/8” Flat Washers (94) and two 3/8" Split Washers (120) onto two 3/8" x 3" Hex Head Bolts (119). Install them through the left side of the receiving bracket into the Console Mast. Now tighten all 3 bolts as tight as possible and snap the console mast cover into place. • There are three connectors at the top opening of the Console Mast; two Hand pulse wires (37) and one Computer Cable (32). Connect these to the mating connectors on the back of the Console Assembly (31). Store the excess wiring back into the Console Mast (10) as you carefully install the Console Assembly (31) onto the mounting plate of Console Mast. Secure the console with four M5 Phillips Head Screws (78).

Do not force the swing arms onto the axles, they should slip on but may need to be jiggled a little to align them properly. The swing arms have been installed at the factory during testing so they should fit properly. • Install two 5/16" Flat Washers (97) onto the two 5/16" Hex Head bolts (70) and install and tighten in the threaded holes in the ends of the axle. • Install the left and right upper arms (13&14) to the lower arms with six 5/16” x 15mm bolts (75).
