PROBLEM SOLUTION/CAUSE
Tread-belt does not stay centered
Treadmill belt hesitates when
walked/run on
The user may be walking while favoring or putting
more weight on either the left or right foot. If this
walking pattern is natural, track the belt slightly
off-center to the side opposite from the belt
movement. See General Maintenance section on
Tread-belt Tension. Adjust as necessary.
1. If the belt moves, but stops after a short time
and thedisplay shows “LS”, run calibration.
2. If you press start and the belt never moves,
then the display shows LS, contact service.
Motor is not responsive after
pressing start
Treadmill will only achieve
approximately 7 mph but shows
higher speed on display
This indicates motor should be receiving power to
operate. Low AC voltage to treadmill. Do not use
an extension cord. If an extension cord is required
it should be as short as possible and heavy duty

Contact an electrician or your SPIRIT dealer. A
minimum of 110 volt AC current is required.
