INTRODUCTION
Congratulaons on the purchase of your new 910Ef Front Drive Ellipcal Trainer from Diamondback Fitness.
You have made a smart choice and are about to enjoy one of the most effecve and technically-advanced
methods of cardio-vascular exercise available today.
Founded in 1991 as an off-shoot of the legendary bicycle division, Diamondback Fitness was in many ways
a complimentary addion to the Diamondback brand. One might even say this extension grew as a natural
evoluon from classic outdoor bicycle usage toward indoor-based cycling and cross training. It turns out
many fitness enthusiasts were searching for ways to maintain condioning during mes of inclement
weather or were simply looking for new and different crosstraining opons.
This trend sll connues today, twenty years later, as the strong Diamondback brand resonates with both
the boomers who grew up with the bicycles, as well as the younger generaons riding them today.
Diamondback Fitness connues to build upon this legendary brand identy by offering the cardio enthusi-
ast a full line of upright bikes, recumbents, indoor cycles, and ellipcal trainers that offer great value, high
quality and intuive & visually-pleasing design. Let’s just say, we are already planning our next twenty
years.

Tilng Console
To ensure users of every stature can maintain a clear and highly visible view of the console, the 910Ef features a lng console.
Hinged at the boom.
To adjust the console, grip the display at the top and lng the enre console fore and aunl the desired viewing angle is
achieved.
Variable-Width Footbeds
The variable-width footbeds are designed to accommodate the width of an individual’s pelvis. A wider pelvis
typically indicates the body requires a wider stance. The 910Ef allows the user to adjust the width of the
footbeds to more closely match their natural alignment and mechanics.
To adjust the footbeds, remove the six (6) clear plasc footbed caps and set aside. Loosen the six (6) Allen
bolts unl the footbeds moves freely. There is no reason to completely remove the bolts. Align the footbeds
to the desired posion as indicated by the markings on the footbed liner. Re-fix the footbeds by ghtening
the six (6) Allen bolts. Reinstall the six (6) footbed caps.
Adjustable-Width Handlebars
The adjustable-width handlebars are designed to accommodate an individual’s body mechanics. Rather than
aempng to adjust the user’s natural moon to one that is fixed and inflexible, the 910Ef offers a customized
fit. The three handlebar posions allow the width to be adjusted.
To adjust the bars, open the red quick-release levers on the leand right pivots. Select the desired posion
and reset the quick release lever. The pressure required to lock the lever should be sufficient to remove any
movement of the handlebar. Adjustment of the lever is similar to a nut and bolt. Hold the lever in the open
posion and rotate the nut on the opposite end clockwise to ghten and counter-clockwise to loosen. While
holding the handlebar in the desire posion, close the lever. The amount of pressure required to properly lock the lever should
leave an impression in the palm of the user’s hand.

WORKOUT GUILDLINES
Calculated 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. If the exercise intensity is too low or too high, only modest gains will be made
in strength and cardio-vascular fitness. A workout at a very low intensity will not offer maximum benefits. Conversely, if the
workout intensity is too high, injury or fague may slow the progression of your exercise goals as the body aempts to recover.
Note: It is most effecve to train at a heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Maximum heart rate is
calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (esmated as 220 beats-per-minute minus your age).
To calculate your maximum heart rate and find the appropriate target training zone, use the following formulas. For example,
the following esmaon would be relevant for a 35 year-old user:
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)
Based on these calculaons, the recommended heart rate training zone for this user would be between 111 Bpm – 157 Bpm.
The graphs on the next page displays the recommended heart rate training zone for users twenty years of age to seventy-five
years of age.
