Frequently Asked Questions - XBU55ENT Spirit Fitness

How do I assemble the Spirit Fitness XBU55ENT bike?

Assembly is straightforward with the included tools and manual. Attach the stabilizers, seat post, handlebars, pedals, and console. Ensure all bolts are tightened. The manual provides step-by-step instructions with diagrams.

What type of resistance does the XBU55ENT use?

The XBU55ENT uses Eddy Current Brake (ECB) resistance, which is smooth, quiet, and adjustable to 20 levels. It provides consistent magnetic resistance without friction.

How can I connect my heart rate monitor?

The bike has contact heart rate sensors on the handlebars. It also supports telemetric chest straps (Polar compatible) for wireless monitoring. Ensure the chest strap is worn and within range.

What do the console display metrics show?

The LCD shows Time, Distance, Calories, RPM, Speed, Pulse, Heart Rate, and Watts. You can toggle between metrics during your workout. It also displays program profiles.

How do I maintain the XBU55ENT bike?

Regularly wipe down the frame and console with a damp cloth. Lubricate the chain and pivot points every 6 months with a silicone-based lubricant. Check bolts for tightness periodically.

What is the warranty coverage?

Spirit Fitness offers a Lifetime warranty on the frame, 2 years on parts, and 1 year on labor. This covers manufacturing defects but not wear and tear from misuse.

Can I use the bike without plugging it in?

The bike can run on batteries (usually 4 AA) for basic functions, but the AC adapter is recommended for full console features and consistent power. Without power, the display may not function.

Is the bike quiet during use?

Yes, the ECB resistance system is virtually silent. The bike's belt drive and sealed bearings minimize noise. Ensure proper lubrication to maintain quiet operation.

What is the maximum user weight limit?

The XBU55ENT supports a maximum user weight of 350 lbs (158.7 kg). The heavy-duty steel frame ensures stability for users up to this limit.

How do I troubleshoot a blank console?

First, check the power source: ensure the AC adapter is plugged into a working outlet or try fresh batteries. If using batteries, replace them. Also check the console cable connection inside the mast. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions

To disconnect turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.

• Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may result.
• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
  • Do not attempt to use your equipment for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.

- Keep hands away from all moving parts.

- The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to provide you with an approximate measurement in relation to your target heart rate. Use of a chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much more accurate method of heart rate analysis. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.

- Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your equipment. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.

Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose yourself (and possibly others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.

Important Electrical Instructions

⚠ WARNING

NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting DC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your fitness bike 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 Upright Bike 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 equipment is first turned on or even during use. If your equipment is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the equipment 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 part # 1D237, or available online at www.squared.com part #QO120HM. The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated 15 amp circuit breaker.

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals including Toluene and Acrylamide which are known to the State of California to cause Cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Important Operation Instructions

• NEVER operate this Upright Bike 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 resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your Upright Bike; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure.

POWER

When the power cord is connected to the fitness bike, the console will automatically power up.

Quick Start

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press START WORKOUT on the screen, or press the Start key to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/ Down buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first.

There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

Basic Information

The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Power, Avg. HR, total Laps).

Programming The Console

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar graph shows the correct number. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you; entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.

CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!

CHARGE PORTABLE DEVICES WITH USB PORT

You can charge your personal device during your workout using the fitness equipment's on-console USB port. To charge your mobile electronics make sure the fitness equipment power is on.

Step 1: Connect your USB charging cable (not included) to the USB Power Port and to your device. Step 2: Check to make sure your device icon indicates it is charging.

MANUAL program requires a time frame set before starting. Use the scale or arrows to adjust target time. Level is adjusted manually while running. Press START to begin workout.

PRESET PROGRAMS

The elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

HILL 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..

FAT BURN program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance 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.

CARDIO program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.

STRENGTH program has a gradual progression of resistance 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 glutes. A brief cool down follows.

HIIT, OR HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL Training, program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your "Fast Twitch" 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.

CUSTOM program allows you to set the level variations within a program profile. Once the profile is defined, choose target time and maximum level, so the intensity adapts accordingly. Every program can be saved as a template once adjusted or once completed. Press Save as to save the program with the current settings. You can manage saved programs in TEMPLATES. To delete a template, tap on it, then press Delete in the top right corner. Maximum of 12 template programs can be stored. A Template program is only available to a user who created it.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Note: You must wear a 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 an HR program select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Next button and follow the directions on the screen.

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 recommended for

burning fat while 80% is recommended 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 definition 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 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 known 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	10 Very light +	14 Somewhat hard +	18 Very hard +
7 Very,very light	11 Fairly light	15 Hard	19 Very,very hard
8 Very,very light +	12 Comfortable	16 Hard +	20 Maximal
9 Very light	13 Somewhat hard	17 Very hard

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. 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

I. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking key.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain 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.

1. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.

2. 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.

1. 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 Upright Bike 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:

I. 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.

Using the Spirit+ App

In order to help you achieve your exercise goals, your new exercise machine comes equipped with a Bluetooth® transceiver that will allow it to interact with selected phones or tablet computers via the Spirit+ App.

Scan the QR code on the screen or search Spirit+ in the App Store or Google Play to download.

The Spirit+ App also allows you to sync your workout data with one of many fitness cloud sites.

Syncing the App with your exercise machine:

I. Download the App.
2. Open the App on your device (phone or tablet) and make sure Bluetooth® is enabled on your device (phone or tablet).
3. In the App click the icon in the top right corner to search for your Spirit equipment (shown right).
4. After the equipment is detected, click the row on which the equipment is to connect Spirit+ app. Then click the "Display" icon to start the sync process.

1. When your workout is complete, the data is automatically saved and uploaded to a cloud site.

*Note: Your device will need to be running on a minimum operating system of iOS 13 or Android 8.0 for the Spirit+ App to operate properly.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

I. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.

1. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons:

I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.

II. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened

III. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.

SANITIZING YOUR SPIRIT FITNESS EQUIPMENT

• Unupholstered high-contact surfaces (hard plastics) can be sanitized using a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and a clean, dry cloth. Spray surfaces to be sanitized, and use the dry cloth to wipe clean. Allow surfaces to dry before using.
• For upholstered or soft-plastic surfaces, use a conditioner after sanitizing. Be sure to follow the instructions provided by the conditioner manufacturer to ensure proper use of the conditioner.
  • Alternatively, you can make your own spray by mixing the proper ratio of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to reach a 75% solution.
• For more details on sanitization, or to learn how to make your own spray solution, please visit https://support.spirit-fitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406787148564.
