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.

This product must be grounded.
If the electrical system of the elliptical 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

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.

UNPACKING

THE

UNIT

1. Using a razor knife (Box Cutter) cut the outside, bottom, edge of box along the dotted Line. Lift Box over
the unit and unpack.
2. Carefully remove all parts from carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If damaged parts are
found, or parts are missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into four steps. Remove the tools first. Remove
the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion. The numbers in the instructions that are in
parenthesis (#) are the item number from the assembly drawing, for reference.

STEP 1: Incline Rail Assembly
.

and Console

Mast

Install the Incline Rail Assembly (2) into the U-channel bracket of the Main Frame (1). Secure
with the six bolts & associated hardware as follows: From the sides install two 3/8"x1-1/2" Hex
Head Bolts (133)with
two 3/8"x19mm Flat Washers (164) and two 3/8"x7T Nylon Nuts (157).
From the top install four 5/16"x2-1/4"
Hex Head Bolts (135), four 5/16" Split Washers (182),
four 5/16"x20 Flat Washers (170), and four 5/16" Star Washers (183), as shown in figure 1, and
tighten with the 13/14 mm Wrench (184) and 12/14mm Wrench (187).

Connect the three Incline Motor Power lines by matching the Red, White and Black color
codes of the wires (48) and the 3-pin position Sensor Connector (49). Locate the Console
Mast (12) and Console Mast Cover (96) and slide the Cover onto the Mast as far as it will go.
Make sure the Console Mast Cover is facing the correct way. At the top opening of the Main
Frame of the elliptical is a Computer Cable (50). Unravel and straighten out the cable and feed
it into the bottom of the console mast tube and out of the top opening. Install the Console Mast
(12) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main Frame (1). 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 console mast assembly.

Put one 3/8" x 2T Split Washer (180) onto the 3/8" x 2-1/4" Long Hex Head Bolt (125) and
install through the left side of the receiving bracket into the Console Mast (12). Put the two 3/8"
x 23 Curved Washers (181) onto the two 3/8" x 3/4" Short Hex Head Bolts (132) and install
through the front of the console mast. Using the 13/14m/m Wrench, tighten the three bolts,
and the fourth bolt, which is pre-installed, firmly. These bolts should be tightened as much as
you possibly can.
Plug all of the connectors into the back of the console; Computer Cable (50), two Hand pulse

Adjustable

foot pedals, and correctly aligned orthopedic

foot pads

Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert,
SOLE engineering has developed a breakthrough
in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any price,
offers these unique features. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that many
users suffer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users complain of
ankle, Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain. While researching a solution to these common
problems SOLE engineers consulted Richard DeKok, P.T., M.T.C., of St. Bernard's Industrial
Rehabilitation
Center in Jonesboro Arkansas.
Together we identified the inherent problem in elliptical designs and developed solutions to solve
the problems. What we found is that when you use an elliptical you tend to push outward during the
power stroke and not just straight back. This causes stress on the outer part of the foot and throws
off the natural alignment of the joints. The second problem we found is that many people tend to
stay up on the ball of their foot during the elliptical motion. Our solutions were simple but effective:
• The first solution was to add a 2-degree inward angle to the footpads. This might sound
simple but what it does is puts the users joints back into a neutral alignment. This eases the
over stressing of the ankles, knees and hips.
• The second solution was to make the foot pedal adjustable to the user's style of pedaling the
elliptical. We achieved this by adding an adjustment that allows the angle of the footpad to
be changed. There are three adjustments. The lowest one will set the footpads at zero (0)
degrees, or flat, at the bottom of the elliptical stroke. The second position sets the footpad to
five (5) degrees and the top position sets the footpads to ten (10) degrees.
There is an adjustment pull-pin under the footpads.
Because every body is different, and
there are as many styles to pedal an elliptical as there are people, we found there is no one
angle that fit every user. Some users would be up on the balls of their feet, resulting in numb
toes, so we decided to let the user adjust the back of the foot pad upward to support the heel,
taking the pressure off of the nerves in the balls of the feet and the Achilles tendon. The
result was no more numb toes. Some users are uncomfortable
at this angle so for them we
designed in three different adjustable angles so they could find one that feels best for them.
A great side benefit of the adjustable footpad angle is that you end up working different muscle
groups. At the highest angle you will work the quadriceps more. At the lowest angle you work the
hamstrings and glutes harder. Not a bad perk!

Ramp incline adjustment
Both the E55 & E95 Have an exciting new ramp incline feature that will further increase the variety of
your workouts. When the incline is at its lowest position you get a normal elliptical workout. As the
incline increases you will feel your knees rise higher with each step; which means you are involving
more muscle groups.
The Elliptical power incline is controlled by buttons on the console and swing arms and also
automatically controlled during the built-in workout programs.

Power up
The Elliptical is supplied with an external AC power cord. When power is connected to the Elliptical,
the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the
console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the
console on press any key.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights
will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.0)
and the message window will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading displays how
many hours the elliptical has been used and how many virtual miles the elliptical has gone. The
time in hours will be to the left and the odometer in miles will be displayed to the right.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout profiles of the
programs and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to
use the console.

Console Operation
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just 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 and Incline may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot
matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will
light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase. When
you press the Incline buttons, the dot matrix display will switch to show the incline profile. There will
also be an icon showing the word "Incline" just above the profile. To switch back to view the work
profile, press the up or down workload keys.

same time
Scan the message window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to the next
set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Enter button again will bring you back to the
beginning.

The Stop/Reset
button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset 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/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout
the program will end and the console will return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is held
down for 5 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the
Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the
programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.

Program Keys:
The program

keys perform three different functions:

The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you
want to try a program, press the corresponding
program key and then press the Enter key to select
the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The program keys also act as a Numeric Key Pad when you are in the data-setting mode. Under
each program key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use
these keys to enter the numbers quickly.
Finally, the program keys can be used as "Quick keys" for workload and incline settings anytime
after the Start key is pressed. The 5 keys on the left are for incline settings and the 5 keys on the
16

E55 / E95 Elliptical

right are for workload settings. When pressed, the Quick keys will allow you to jump directly to an
incline position or workload setting of 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 instantly. This function is not shown on the
front panel so you need to try it out yourself to become familiar with its operation
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors
on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the Polar heart rate transmitter, will start the Heart Icon
blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or
Pulse, in beats per minute.

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 is necessary during the Heart Rate control
programs 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 aids in calculating a more correct
calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as
possible.
A message about Calories: 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!

Entering/Changing

Settings

When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just
press the Start key. This will bypass the programming
of data and take you directly to the start of
your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default, or saved,
settings will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age
and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter yourAge and Weight the
first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either
your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

then press the Enter key.
will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up
numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number

Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start
key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key. NOTE: At any
time during the editing of Data you can press the Stop key to go back one level, or screen.
6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the easiest level and it is a good
idea to stay at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any
time press the Up key; the Down key will decrease the work-load.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message
window by pressing the Enter key.
8. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to
exit the program or you can save the program you just completed as a custom user
program by pressing a User key and following the instructions in the message window.

This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of
recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more
efficiently this way.

Power up
The E95 Elliptical is supplied with an external AC power cord. When power is connected to the
Elliptical, the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes
the console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the
console on press any key.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights
will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.0)
and the message window will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading displays how
many hours the elliptical has been used and how many virtual miles the elliptical has gone. The
display will look like this: ODO 123 MI 123 HRS.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the programs and the
message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.

Console Operation
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just 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 and Incline may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot
matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the workload more rows will
light indicating a harder workout. The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase. When
you press the Incline buttons, the dot matrix display will switch to show the incline profile. There will
also be a blue LED light next to the matrix that is lit, indicating the Incline profile is being displayed.
You can press the "Display" button to scroll through the different matrix displays.

Basic information
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom left
of the message window is a Display button. Each time this Display button is pressed the next set of
information will appear, four windows in all.
•
Time and Distance
•
Pulse and Calories (Kcal is shorthand for the standard measurement of nutritional calories)
•
Speed in RPM and MPH
•
Work Level and Watts (Watts is a measure of work. If the display reads 100 Watts, then you
are doing enough work to continuously light a 100 Watt light bulb.)
•
Incline level
•
Scan (If the Display button is pressed during the Level and Watts display the Scan light will
come on and the message window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to
the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Display button again will bring you back
to the beginning).
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar graph that shows your heart rate as
a percent of maximum. The XE Series Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply
grasping the hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate
transmitter will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Message Window
will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the
percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving. See page 22 for more
information about heart rate.
•

NOTE: You must enter your age for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section
for details about these features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.

E55 / E95 Elliptical

Program Keys:
The program keys perform three different functions:
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you
want to try a program, press the corresponding
program key and then press the Enter key to select
the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The program keys also act as a Numeric Key Pad when you are in the data-setting mode. Under
each program key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use
these keys to enter the numbers quickly.
Finally, the program keys can be used as "Quick keys" for workload and incline settings anytime
after the Start key is pressed. The 5 keys on the left are for workload settings and the 4 keys on the
right are for incline settings (the key farthest to the right, HR2, is for the Auto-pilot function so it
does not operate as a quick key). When pressed, the Quick keys will allow you to jump directly to
an incline position or workload setting of 3, 6, 9 and 12 instantly (plus 15 for the workload only).
This function is not shown on the front panel so you need to try it out yourself to become familiar
with its operation.
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors
on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the Polar heart rate transmitter, will start the Heart Icon
blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or
Pulse, in beats per minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the switch on the
right side of the console case.

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 is necessary during the Heart Rate control
programs 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.
A message about Calories: 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!

Heart Rate Training
A word about Heart Rate:
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 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.

Age of User

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 wil! perform this calculation automatically.
Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate control programs. After calculating your Maximum Heart
Rate 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 Maximum Heart
Rate 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 Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before
participating in any exercise program.
With all SOLE Heart Rate Control elliptical machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature without
using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of
the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control 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
physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending
feel or the perception of your effort.

by Swedish
upon how you

The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception

of Effort

6 Minimal
7 Very, very light
8 Very, very light +
9 Very light
10 Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17
18
19
20

Very hard
Very hard +
Very, very hard
Maximal

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.

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
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 remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the SOLE logo centered in the middle of your body 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 immediately 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 black square areas on the reverse side of
the belt and either side of 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 immediately against
bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt.
To do so, moisten 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 elliptical
for Heart Rate Control 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
SOLE 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) Loose treadmill console or bolts in the upright tube could also cause intermittent problems.
(8) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

E55 / E95 Elliptical

Maintenance:
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. 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 or the rear rails being dirty.
ii.
Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise.
Noise from build-up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is
coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is
amplified, in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth
and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a
non-metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a
small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only
need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.
If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 4 leveling
pads on the bottom of the rear rails, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the
levelers.
