1 - Safety

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and warnings before using the treadmill.

Important Voltage Information

Before plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet, verify that the voltage requirements
for your area match the voltage of the treadmill that you have received. The power
requirements for the Cybex Sport treadmill include a grounded, dedicated circuit, rated for
one of the following: 115 VAC ±5%, 60 Hz and 20 amps; 208/220 VAC, 60 Hz and 15 amps or
230 VAC ±5%, 50 Hz and 15 amps. See the serial number decal for the exact voltage
requirements of your treadmill.

! WARNING: Do not attempt to use this unit with a voltage adapter.

Do not attempt to use this unit with an extension cord.

Grounding Instructions

This treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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 of the equipment­grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service provider if you are in
doubt as to whether the treadmill is properly
grounded. Seek a qualified electrician to
perform any modifications to the cord or
plug. Cybex is not responsible for injuries or
damages as a result of cord or plug
modification.

This treadmill is for use on a nominal 115 VAC
±5%, 60 Hz and 20 amps, 208/220 VAC; 60 Hz,
15 amps or 230 VAC ±5%, 50 Hz and 15 amps
and a grounded, dedicated circuit. Make sure
that the treadmill is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. Do
not use a ground plug adapter to adapt the
power cord to a non-grounded outlet.

the console, unclipping it from the cord and putting it in a
non-accessible place. See Figure 2.

The emergency dismount: Follow the steps listed below if
you experience pain, feel faint or need to stop your treadmill
in an emergency situation:

1. Grip handrails for support.

2. Step onto the top steps.

3. Pull the e-stop key off the console.

The function of the emergency stop: The e-stop key functions

as the emergency stop. In an emergency situation, remove the e­stop key from the console and the treadmill will come to a stop.
On the console, the e-stop location looks like Figure 3.

Safety Sentry

If you step off your treadmill during a workout, it may detect that you are not there. After the
pre-selected waiting period “run?” will appear on the center window for a few seconds then
Safety Sentry™ will stop the belt. If you press Quick Start within the time selected you can
resume your workout. NOTE: If you are less than 100 lbs. Safety Sentry may not detect you

are there and cause the treadmill to come to a stop. Safety Sentry is disabled above 11%
grade.

Data Readouts

As you exercise, the treadmill keeps track of the following data:

Cybex Sport Treadmill Owner’s & Service Manual

Distance — The total accumulated distance, in miles or kilometers, during

your workout. NOTE: Depending on the defaults you’ve chosen this
measurement will show in English or Metric.

Calories — The total accumulated calories burned during your workout. Your
weight must be correctly set before beginning your workout for this
measurement to be most accurate.

Heart Rate — Your current heart rate. Heart rate will appear when a signal is
introduced. Use the handgrips for Contact Heart Rate.

Pace — At your current speed, how long it would take to cover a mile (or
kilometer), displayed in minutes:seconds.

Metabolic Equivalent — Relates to the user's energy expenditure. A MET is a
basic unit of measurement that is used to compare relative work between
individuals and activities. ‘One MET’ is the amount of oxygen consumed at
rest. For example two METs would be twice that amount. If an individual were
working at four METs he/she would be consuming oxygen at a rate equal to
four times their resting consumption. METs can be used to compare walking
on a grade with running or even to cycling and other activities.

To review accumulated data after a program: The display automatically cycles through your
accumulated workout data during the Workout Review for up to 20 seconds.

Displaying Heart Rate

In order for the Cybex Sport to display your heart rate, hold the handgrips to use Contact
Heart Rate.

Contact Heart Rate — Hold the handgrips on the console crossbar until a heart rate is
displayed, typically less than thirty seconds. For best results, hold the handgrips lightly and
ensure that your hands contact both the front and back sensors of each grip. NOTE: Hold

your hands as steady as possible as movement can cause interference on the contacts.

Factors that can interfere with the heart rate signal include:

• excessive movement

• body composition

• hydration

• too loose grip

• too tight grip

• running

• excessive dirt, powder or oil

• leaning or resting on grips

NOTE: Cybex does not recommend continuous holding onto the contact heart rate grips

during exercise.

Contaminants, such as hand lotions, oils or body powder, may come off on the contact heart
rate grips. These can reduce sensitivity and interfere with the heart rate signal. It is
recommended that the user have clean hands when using the contact heart rate.

Heart Rate Zone

Heart Rate is described by the number of times your heart beats in a minute. At rest, the
average adult will have a heart rate of about 72 beats per minute (bpm). As one begins to
exercise, heart rate increases and continues to increase as exercise intensity or difficulty
increases.

Monitoring your heart rate is an effective way to control the intensity of your workout and
subsequently the results it will have. Whether you are a new participant or one with a great
deal of experience, weight loss and other performance goals can be achieved by controlling
the intensity of your workout.

The American College of Sports
Medicine recommends that healthy
adults exercise between 55 and 85%
of their heart rate max. Your heart rate
max can be estimated by subtracting
your age from 220. Multiply that
estimated heart rate max by .55 to
estimate the lower end of your heart
rate training zone. Then multiply your
estimated heart rate max by .85 to
estimate the higher end of your
training zone. This heart rate training
zone gives you a range of intensities at
which to exercise.

NOTE: A label is located on the

accessory tray to remind you
what the heart rate zone is
while you are working out.
See Figure 4.

Meaning of % Grade

A 1% grade is not the same as a 1 degree incline. The % grade is the relationship of the
measurement of rise over the measurement of run (also called slope). For example, a 1 foot
(meter) rise in height over a length of 100 feet (meters) is a 1% grade. Expressed as a
mathematical formula, the grade is calculated as follows:
1 ft. (m) / 100 ft. (m) = 0.01 = 1%

With respect to treadmills, the percent grade is roughly equal to the increase in height (rise) of
the treadmill divided by the length (run) of the treadmill.

Cybex Sport Treadmill Owner’s & Service Manual

This label shows heart rate based on
percentage and age.

Page 3-8

The degree of incline can be related to % grade by taking the Tangent of the grade. For
instance, 15% grade is equal to 8.53 Degrees (Tan(.15)=8.53º). The opposite is true to
determine % Grade from Degree of incline (ArcTan (8.53º)=.15).

Use of Programs

! WARNING: Obtain a medical exam before beginning any exercise program. Begin

comfortably with a lower level and progress with higher levels as you
become acclimated.

With the Sport, you may choose from three different programs. The program choices are
summarized as follows:

Quick Start You control speed, elevation. Maximum of 60 minutes.
Manual Mode You control speed, elevation. 30 minutes (fixed time).
Weight Loss 10 Levels 30 minutes (fixed time)
Cardio 10 Levels 20 minutes (fixed time)

Manual

Program Overview

Manual Mode is available both through Quick Start and through the Manual program where
you are prompted to make a user weight adjustment. NOTE: There is no diagram because

incline and speed are user-controlled.

Manual Mode allows you to choose settings as you workout. You may choose your settings

according to how you feel or your endurance level. Since you remain in control, Manual Mode
may be the best choice for beginners or for those who have not worked out in a long time.

NOTE: Manual Mode is not a preprogrammed workout.

Press the Quick Start key to workout in Manual Mode. You can also begin Manual Mode by
pressing the Manual program key. To increase or decrease the speed while in Manual Mode
use the Speed

+ — keys. To increase or decrease the incline while in Manual Mode use

the arrows.

When you workout in Manual Mode, be sure to include a three-to-five minute warm-up and
cool-down period. You can warm-up by setting a slow speed for walking/jogging on the
treadmill at zero incline and then gradually increase the speed to the target for your workout.
Reverse this process for your cool-down period, slowing down the speed gradually and
returning the incline to zero.

Weight Loss

Program Overview

This program was designed to help individuals of all fitness levels achieve their weight loss
goals through a protocol that incorporates both low and moderate intensity activity. Because
walking has become a popular mode of exercise for those looking to lose weight, all levels of
this program are performed at walking speeds.

The core of the program is made up of five one-minute segments. The first segment
represents the baseline of the program and may also be considered to be a “rest” segment
later. In minutes two and three, elevation will be increased. In minute four, the program returns
to the first segment baseline or rest level. In the fifth minute, the speed will increase. The total
number of segments used is dictated by the time selected by the user.

Higher levels of the Weight Loss program incorporate jogging speeds in short segments. This
allows the advanced walker to alternate walking and jogging.

• At levels 1-6 walkers maintain walking speeds only.

• At levels 7-10, experienced walkers can jog intermittently.

By mixing the use of speed and elevation separately, the user receives the benefits of added
intensity intervals but the variety does not allow for either speed or elevation to dominate and
therefore overtax the user. See table below and Figure 5.

Cardio

Program Overview

This program was designed for the exercise participant who wants to improve the overall
efficiency of their cardio-respiratory system. Unlike some of the other treadmill programs that
incorporate low and moderate intensity segments, the Cardio program contains overall higher
intensity levels with more moderate recovery segments.

The speed range of the program includes walking speeds at the lower levels up through a
moderate jog in the higher levels.

Elevation is used to emphasize the high intensity portion of this program while decreased
elevation and a small increase in speed mark the recovery segment. High intensity and
recovery segments are always in a one-to-one time based ratio and make up the core eight
minutes of the program. See table below and Figure 6.
