Introduction
GOOD HEALTH IS AN EXERCISE IN COMMON SENSE.
The basics of good health are really common sense. Eat right, drink lots of
water, get enough sleep, and exercise at least 3-4 times a week. It may sound
simple, but to achieve the look and vitality most health-conscious men and
women want, takes more discipline than most people are willing to endure.
Having fitness equipment in your home makes it easier to achieve your goals.
And having Diamondback equipment gives you even more of an edge.
Because when your equipment is comfortable, simple and effective, you exercise more. And that means better results.
A
WORKOUT THAT WORKS FOR YOU.
To maintain cardiovascular fitness, the American Heart Association recommends that you exercise 3 to 4 days a week at 60%-75% of your maximum
heart rate. By monitoring your heart rate while you exercise, you can get the
most effective workout in the least amount of time. It’s the easiest way of determining if youíre exercising at a safe and effective level. Of course, if you want
to lose weight or reach a higher level of athletic conditioning, working out 5
to 6 times a week will help you achieve that goal faster.
ET A SMART START ON EXERCISING.
G
1. Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to
cool down.
2. The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up
muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly.
3. After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes
gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.
4. The 960Sr console contains integrated warm up and cool down
programs to safely bring your heart rate up and back down again.
Remember, start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and
strength. And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise
program.
Your feedback and ideas about your experience with Diamondback are very
important to us. Write to our product development department at:

2-1b. Connect both the main wire harness and the hand pulse harness in
the main frame to the two wire harnesses in the bottom of the
console mast. Each plug is keyed to fit in only one direction- do not
try to force the plugs into the sockets as this may bend the pins.
2-1c. Install the console mast by sliding it over the receptor in the main
frame, making sure to tuck the extra wire from the wiring harness
into the mast to prevent it from getting crushed. Insert and tighten
the four flat head M8 x 16mm bolts (make sure to use the flat head
bolts for this step).
2-1d. Snap console mast cover into top of sidecase.
Assembly Instructions
2-2. Fasten the handlebar on to the console mast by sliding the bracket in the
middle of the handlebar over the bolt holes in the console mast. Be careful
not to move the bracket around too much on the mast to avoid scratching the
mast. Secure the handlebar to the mast with the four r
bolts, making sure to include a flat and split lock washer on each bolt.

5-6. Pull the harness thru the L-shaped slot in the seat frame and secure it onto the
side of the seat frame using the included nylon zip tie (see illustration 5-6 in
assembly drawing).
5-7. Tighten the seat frame on to the seat track so that it does not “wobble” side
to side. This can be done by adjusting the middle seat rollers on each side
of the seat frame as shown in the picture to the left.
5-7a. Find the middle seat roller adjustment on the right side of the seat
frame (under the seat) as shown in the picture.
5-7b. While using an open-end wrench to hold the adjustment knob,
loosen the seat roller nut by turning it counter-clockwise with a
second open-end wrench.
5-7c. Tighten the seat frame into the seat track by turning the adjustment
knob clockwise. Do not overtighten as this may prevent the seat from
sliding along the track.
5-7d. Hold the adjustment knob in position with one wrench while you
re-tighten the seat roller nut with the second wrench.
5-7e. Repeat steps a-d above with the middle seat roller adjustment on the

Exercise guidelines
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. It indicates that 61% of
American adults are either overweight or obese. The study concludes that obesity
increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain types of can-
cer, type 2 diabetes, etc. It further points out that obesity needs to be regarded pri-
m
arily 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

Exercise guidelines (continued)
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 960Sr is designed to include heart rate monitor-
ing 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 accu-
rate number. The 960Sr 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 electron-
ically 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 heart rate.
Heart Rate Guidelines
60% - 85% Maximum Target
Maximum Heart Rate & Training Zone
To calculate your maximum heart rate and find your training zone, use the fol-
lowing formula. An example has been provided below based for a 35-year
–old person:
220 – Age = Maximum Heart Rate (220 – 35 = 185)
60% of Maximum Heart Rate (60% x 185 = 111bpm)
85% of Maximum Heart Rate (85% x 185 = 157bpm)
Training Zone: 111bpm – 157bpm
