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 TROTTER Elite 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, 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.

Stopping the Treadmill
Press Stop once to pause your workout for 20 seconds (default setting) and to enter the
Workout Review. The belt will stop and the elevation will return to 0%, but all workout
settings and data will remain in memory for the pre-selected time. Press the Quick Start key
within 20 seconds to continue your workout at the speed and elevation where you left off. If
the Quick Start key has not been pressed during the 20 second pause, workout data will be
cleared and the display will change to Dormant Mode.
Press Stop a second time to interrupt workout data from cycling and to change the display to
Dormant Mode.
The function of the immobilization method: The purpose
of immobilizing the treadmill is to prevent unauthorized use.
This can be accomplished by removing the e-stop key from
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 e-stop key 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 in 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. and you are not using Polar the
treadmill may not detect you are there and cause the treadmill to come to a stop. Safety Sentry
is disabled above 11% grade. It can also be disabled by setting SAFE time to “none”. If
changes in elevation or speed occur while you are not there (such as during a programmed
workout) Safety Sentry resets its waiting period.

Press Scan again to continue to display a set of data. NOTE: The automatic scan is a feature
that can be turned on or off. See Setting Operation Options in chapter 5.
Data Readouts
As you exercise, the treadmill keeps track of the following data:
Cybex TROTTER Elite 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.
Metabolic Equivalent — Relates to the user's energy expenditure. ‘One met’ is
the amount of oxygen consumed at rest. For example two mets would be twice
that amount. See Heart Rate in this chapter for a more detailed description.

To review accumulated data after a program: The display automatically cycles through
your accumulated workout data during the Workout Review
for 20 seconds (default setting).
Displaying Heart Rate
In order for the TROTTER Elite to display your heart rate, you must either use a Polar
compatible heart rate transmitter belt (not included) or 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. Therefore,
ensure you have clean hands when using the contact heart rate.
Cybex TROTTER Elite Treadmill Owner’s & Service Manual
Heart Rate — Your current heart rate. Heart rate will appear when a signal is
introduced. Use either the handgrips for Contact Heart Rate or a Polar
compatible heart rate transmitter. See Heart Rate LED for a description of
colors.
Pace — At your current speed, how long it would take to cover a mile (or
kilometer), displayed in minutes:seconds.

NOTE: When wearing a Polar compatible transmitter, the contact heart rate will dominate
only when the grips are held.
Polar Compatible Reception — To use this feature, a Polar compatible heart rate transmitter
belt must be worn. To view heart rate continuously, press the Scan key when the Heart LED is
lit or press the Heart key.
Heart Rate LED
When the handgrips are held the center display switches to show the heart rate in beats per
minute (BPM) if you are not scanning. For several seconds the display will show “---”. Once
the actual heart rate is determined the center window displays the BPM and the Heart
LED lights up. See Figure 4. The color of the light represents a scale of low to high target
heart rate.
Blue = 0-69 beats per minute
Green = 70-93 beats per minute
Yellow = 94-120 beats per minute
(FAT BURN ZONE)
Red = 121-170 beats per minute
(CARDIO ZONE)
Purple = 171 & up beats per minute
NOTE: A label is on the accessory
tray to remind you what the
color represents while you are
working out. See Figure 4.

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 TROTTER Elite, you may choose from six different programs. Four of those programs
provide ten levels of difficulty for a choice of forty different preprogrammed options. You may
also create your own program or use Manual Mode. With this unique combination of
programs, you can tailor your workout to achieve exactly the fitness goals you desire,
including: weight loss, conditioning, endurance or maintenance of overall health. The program
choices are summarized as follows:
Manual Mode You control speed, elevation, and time.
Calorie Goal 10 Levels Minutes vary according to calorie goal
5K Run 10 Levels Minutes vary according to speed
9 Holes 10 Levels Minutes vary according to speed
Heart Rate Level is your Minutes vary according to time selected

Manual Mode
Manual Mode is not a preprogrammed workout. Instead, it 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.
Press the Quick Start key to workout in Manual Mode. 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.
The Workout Profile
The Workout Profile matrix in the center of the display uses columns of lights to show the
progress of your workout. The height of the column represents METS, specifically the highest
METS you reached in that period. The length of the period is one minute of your total workout
time when in Manual Mode, and 15 seconds in every other program.
NOTE: It is conceivable to have two segments of different speed and elevation in the same
met range.
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.
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).

Calorie Goal
Program Overview
The Calorie Goal program uses a mixture of increased elevation or speed intervals to provide
added work to this walking and light jogging program. The user selects the level they want to
work at and the total number of calories they want to burn, the program will repeat until the
calorie goal is obtained. This program is particularly useful for those individuals who are
balancing calorie consumption and use. See Figure 5.

5K Run
Program Overview
This program is designed to help the user train for a 5K race in a systematic fashion. It uses a
predefined speed for each level to establish the "race pace". Throughout the program the
elevation changes from a baseline (0% incline) level into both incline and decline. The
frequency of the use of elevation is based on the level of the program. The higher the level the
more frequent the use of elevation including decline. These may also be thought of as
elevation intervals. Each use of elevation is considered a "work" segment, in levels 1 through
3 each work segment is followed by three rest or level segments, in levels 4 through 7, each
work segment is followed by two rest segments. In level 8 though 10 the ratio is 1:1. Each
segment is 400 meters in length. See Figure 6.
NOTE: This program includes both a two-minute warm up and cool down in addition to the
actual 5K portion of the program.
