SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS Every piece of Diamondback Fitness equipment is built for maximum safety and meets or exceeds all applicable domestic and international standards. However, certain precautions need to be taken when operating any piece of fitness equipment. NOTE: Please read the entire owner’s manual before operating the unit. NOTE: Read all warnings posted on the unit. If the warning label to the right is missing from the Er6c elliptical, contact Diamondback Fitness at (800) 776.
• Place the unit in an area that will meet minimum the clearance requirements: Front, Back & Sides = 2 feet. • This unit is heavy. Use caution when moving. Tilt the unit forward until the integrated transport rollers on the front stabilizer make contact with the ground and slowly push or pull into the desired position. Always unplug the unit from the outlet before moving or servicing. • Keep the unit away from walls to allow proper ventilation. Air should be able to circulate freely around the unit.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES Good Health is an Exercise in Common Sense In the study titled, “The Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity,” the surgeon general indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The study indicates that being overweight increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, as well as Type-2 diabetes among other afflictions.
Heart Rate is an Important Key to Your Exercise The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This report dictates that exercise and fitness are beneficial for a person’s health and reiterated the need for exercise as a key component for disease prevention and healthier living. The best way to determine exercise intensity is to monitor your pulse during exercise. Heart rate can easily be determined by counting the pulse rate at the chest, wrist or carotid artery on your neck.
In general, a wireless heart rate chest strap is a more accurate method of detecting one’s heart rate as the user is not required to grip the touch heart rate sensors and the unit will continuously display the heart rate no matter where the hands are placed. Your Estimated Maximum Heart Rate & Target Training Zone Your calculated target heart rate, or the ideal intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily upon your age rather than your current state of fitness.
Workout QUALITY AND QUANTITY 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 Fitness equipment at home offers you the opportunity to work out without going to the gym.
• After an aerobic workout of roughly 20-30 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level. NOTE: Start slow, with intensity low until you build up endurance and strength. Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
CONSOLE LAYOUT NOTE: It is advised that new users read this entire section prior to beginning their first workout session. LCD Display Windows Time Tracks the time of the current workout program. Heart Symbol Indicates that a heart rate is detected by either the touch heart rate sensors, or the wireless heart rate receiver. If a pulse is not detected, the heart icon will not be visible and the Bpm will be displayed as “P”.
RPM An acronym for Revolutions-Per-Minute, the number of complete revolutions a single pedal makes every 60 seconds. The display for RPM will alternate with SPEED every five (5) seconds. Load Displays the current resistance level applied to the workout. The maximum resistance load is 16. Distance The estimated total distance (in Kilometers) traveled since the beginning of the workout. Calories The estimated number of calories burned since the beginning of the workout will be displayed in this field.

FITNESS TEST At the end of a program, pressing the FITNESS TEST button once will launch the Fitness Test program.
