BodyFit Angle Adjustment
The 1190Er 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 dif- ficulties of exercises even though you are in the same resistance level.
The Difference in Ellipse Angle:
There are 3 angle adjustments on the 1190Er — Position
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 push- es user away from the console mast.
In order to get the best workout experience, it is recommended to try all three posi- tions 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:
1.Turn the adjusting knob clockwise all the way down to loosen the pivot structure. See figure on the right.
2.It is recommended that you step on the floor and face the back of the console. Then put both hands under handles and raise the pivot structure.
3.Move the pivot structure to the next desired position and rest it down. Make sure the pivot axle is inside the groove securely.
4.Turn the adjusting knob counter clockwise to tighten the knob. Make sure there is no additional movement on the pivot structure after locking and the whole structure is securely locked in place.
Caution: Not tightening down the adjusting knob properly may result in a fall or injury
