Saw a quick reference out there on how to power Spirit treadmills on and off, so figured I'd check with some folks who owns the treadmills.
To power on: flip on an wall outlet, hit the main switch located on the bottom front of the exercise deck, insert the safety key into the deck, and press the Start button. To turn the treadmill off: simply pull the safety key from the treadmill and turn the power at the wall outlet.
It seems straightforward but I'm just curious as to how most people operate the treadmills. I'd imagine that most people leave the main switch on at all times and only use the safety key and Start button to turn the treadmill on and off. I'd think that flipping the main switch off at the wall outlet every time someone exits the treadmill could be overkill though; maybe if kids plays on the treadmill it would be a necessity to limit there ability to use it without supervision or to limit the standby draw of the treadmill. But I'd imagine that leaving the treadmill on all the time with the main switch probably do contribute to wear and tear on the console and display.
It seems that the treadmill manual doesnt mention anything about lubrication or adjusting the belt to the center position prior to stepping on the treadmill. Maybe its a separate topic altogether though. So, does anyone happen to own a Spirit treadmill and know for sure which switches must be used to start the treadmill?
