Step 5: Console Assembly

1. Connect both plugs, from main wire harness and hand pulse harness, to the plug receptors on the backside of the console, taking care to install correctly (see plug alignment marks). WIRING HARNESS INSTALLATION HINT: Any excess wiring must be carefully inserted (“storied”) back into the console mast before installing the console onto the console mounting plate.

2. Fasten the console to the console mounting plate with the four M5 x 12mm screws and washers, using a Philips screwdriver.

Step 6: Water Bottle & Leveling Pads

1. Place the water bottle into the water bottle holder.

2. Adjust the leveling pads if necessary, located on the front stabilizer bottom, to ensure your equipment is leveled with floor.

The 1180Er is equipped with bodyfit ellipse angle adjustment system to fit your exercise better. The different ellipse angle will change the form of your elliptical exercise; the higher ellipse angle will make your elliptical motion feel more like an Uphill Climbing and the lower ellipse angle will make the ellipse motion feel more like a Skiing/Jogging exercise. The different ellipse angle will result in different difficulties of exercises even though you are in the same resistance level.

The Difference in Ellipse Angle:

There are 3 angle adjustments on the 1180Er — Position 1–3, position 1 being the position closest to user and position 3 being farthest away from user. See figure on the right.

At position 1, the ellipse angle is 9 degrees higher than position 3 and the step motion will feel more like hill climbing. It also will bring you closer to the console mast.

At position 3, the ellipse angle is more flat and feels more like a sprint. It also pushes user away from the console mast.

In order to get the best workout experience, it is recommended to try all three positions first. Find the best one to fit your workout preference and your body features and adjust it for your workout.

Adjusting the Ellipse Angle:

To adjust the position of the footpad, please follow below steps for adjustment:

Good health is an exercise in common sense

The Surgeon General released a new study in 2001, The Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity. It indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The story states that overweight increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain type of cancer, type 2 diabetes, etc. It further points out that overweight needs to be regarded primarily as a Health rather than as an Appearance issue.

The Surgeon General’s Healthy weight advice for consumers is:

1. Aim for a healthy weight: Find your Body Mass Index (BMI) on the chart below.

2. Be active: Keep physically active to balance the calories you consume.

3. Eat well: Select sensible portion sizes.

BMI = (weight (lb) ÷ height2(in)) x 703

Medical research has shown us that there is an amount of exercise, which is enough to condition the cardio respiratory system and the muscles of the body. This amount of exercise is between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate measured during a training session. This range allows enough exercise to achieve fitness, but not an excessive amount to cause injury. Your heart rate is an excellent indicator of the amount of stress placed on the cardiovascular system. Taking full advantage of this information, the 1180Er is designed to include heart rate monitoring features.

If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the intensity is too low, the stress levels are ineffective. If the intensity is too high, injury or fatigue may set your exercise program back as you try to recover.

The best way to monitor exercise intensity is to accurately count your pulse during exercise. Your heart rate can easily be determined by counting your pulse at the chest, wrist or at the carotid artery on your neck. It is difficult to count your own pulse during exercise, mainly because you cannot count fast enough to get an accurate number. The 1180Er is equipped with a wireless telemetry receiving system. What it does is automatically count your heart rate while you are wearing a heart rate chest belt during your exercising period. Heart rate is monitored and electronically displayed as a digital readout. Your target heart rate, the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily on your age and not your state of fitness. It is calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, estimated as 220 minus your age. It is most effective to train at your target heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum hear

t rate.

Maximum Heart Rate & Training Zone

To calculate your maximum heart rate and find your training zone, use the following for

T Patterns for 35 year-old

Quantity & Quality

It is recommended that you accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Physical activity should be initiated slowly and the intensity should be increased gradually. You should select activities that you enjoy and can fit into your daily life. Having Diamondback equipment at home certainly gives you the comfortable and convenient workout you want.

The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommendations for the quantity and quality of training for developing and maintaining cardio respiratory fitness in healthy adults:

• An activity that uses large muscle groups, maintained continuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.

• Duration: 20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity, including a warm-up and cool-down period for each exercise session.

• Frequency: 3 to 5 times per week.

• Intensity: 60% to 85% of maximum heart rate.

• In addition to aerobic exercise, it is recommended that you add strength training of moderate intensity twice per week to your program.

Get a smart start on exercising.

Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with his/her physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a healthcare professional.

HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICES

Pulse Hand Grips (Standard

The 1180Er unit is heart rate controlled and comes standard with stainless steel pulse handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips to obtain a heart rate reading.

(Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control program, as it is more accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart rate monitoring purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.)

Operating Tips:

If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we recommend the following suggestions:

• Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each hand pulse grip.

• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.

• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.

Chest Strap (Standard)

The 1180Er is equipped a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate monitoring. To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate monitoring device.

The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart
