INTRODUCTION  
WARM UP & COOL DOWN STRETCHES  
Stretches can help improve flexibility and relieve the tightness in muscles  
that results from repetitive sport movements that require a limited range  
of motion, like elliptical striding. 10 to 12 minutes of daily stretching is  
recommended. This can be done when warming up or cooling down.  
When performing these stretches, your movements should be slow and  
smooth, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until you feel  
a slight tension, not pain, in the muscle and hold the stretch for 20 to 30  
seconds. Breathe slowly and rhythmically. Be sure not to hold your breath.  
Remember that all stretches must be done for both sides of your body.  
CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR  
ECLIPSE 1175e ELLIPTICAL TRAINER  
With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start  
your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of  
your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness  
level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health  
maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.  
Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic  
exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,  
walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by  
reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in  
our bodies. Using the Elliptical Trainer will help in reducing body fat  
and increasing cardiovascular endurance.  
1. Quadriceps Stretch  
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand  
to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift your heel  
towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your  
foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner thighs close  
together, slowly pull your foot towards your buttocks until you  
feel a gentle stretch in the front of your thigh.You do not have  
to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when you  
feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing straight down and  
keep your knees close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing  
outward.)  
Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.  
It is the authoritative source of information about your  
Elliptical Trainer.  
Retain this manual for future reference.  
Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.

individual would need to keep their heart rate  
at or above 126 beats per minute to get a

to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of  
your maximum heart rate.  
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  
CLOTHING  
All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to  
permit freedom of movement, and should make  
the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.  
Occasionally our products contain components that are

pre-lubricated at the factory. We recommend that you  
protect flooring, or anything else the parts may contact,  
with newspaper or cloth.  
Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such  
garments interfere with the evaporation of  
perspiration and can cause body temperature  
to rise to dangerous levels.  
If you are just beginning your exercise program,  
your target heart rate range should be roughly  
at 60% of your maximum heart rate. As you  
become more conditioned (or if you are already  
in good cardiovascular shape) you can increase  
your target heart rate to 70%-85% of your  
maximum heart rate. Remember, your

2) Keep setting realistic goals as you go along,  
When checking heart rate during a workout, take  
your pulse within five seconds after interrupting  
exercise because it starts to go down once you  
stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and  
multiply by six to get the per-minute rate.

Your exercise program should include something  
from each of the four basic fitness components  
described previously. Each workout should begin  
with a warm up and end with a cool down. As a  
general rule, space your workouts throughout  
the week and avoid consecutive days of hard  
exercise.  
It is important to exercise at an intensity vigorous  
enough to cause your heart rate and breathing to  
increase. How hard you should exercise depends to  
a certain degree on your age, and is determined  
by measuring your heart rate in beats per minute.  
Refer to the “Measuring Your Heart Rate” section  
below and on page 19 for more information on  
how to determine and measure your heart rate.  
STEP 3 – Attaching the Swing Arms  
a) The bottom of the Left Swing Arm will have a  
hole that will line up with the holes in the  
bracket of the Left Foot Tube.

You can do different types of aerobic activities, say  
walking one day, and use your elliptical trainer the  
next. Make sure you choose an activity that can  
be done regularly, and is enjoyable for you. The  
important thing to remember is not to skip too  
many days between workouts or fitness benefits  
will be lost. If you must lose a few days, gradually  
work back into your routine.

WHEN TO EXERCISE  
MUSCULAR STRENGTH - a minimum of two, 20

all the major muscle groups. Lifting weights is the  
most effective way to increase strength.

The hour just before the evening meal is a popular  
time for exercise. The late afternoon workout

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE - at least three, 30 minute  
sessions each week that include exercises such as  
calisthenics, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and weight  
training for all the major muscle groups.

Another popular time to work out is early morning,  
before the work day begins. Advocates of the early  
start say it makes them more alert and energetic  
on the job.  
Figure 3 – Install Swing Arms  
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE - at least  
three, 20 minute workouts of continuous aerobic  
exercise each week. Working out on your elliptical  
trainer is a good way to obtain this aerobic activity.  
Other popular aerobic conditioning activities  
include brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling,  
rope jumping, rowing, cross-country skiing, and  
some continuous action games like racquetball  
and handball.  
Among the factors you should consider in  
developing your workout schedule are personal  
preference, job and family responsibilities,  
availability of exercise facilities and weather. It's  
important to schedule your workouts for a time  
when there is little chance that you will have to  
cancel or interrupt them because of other  
demands on your time.  
M8 x 20mm allen bolt  
foot platform  
FLEXIBILITY - 10-12 minutes of daily stretching  
exercises performed slowly, without a bouncing  
motion. This can be included after a warm up or  
during a cool down. Refer to pages 21 and 22  
for a list of total body stretches.  
You should not exercise strenuously during  
extremely hot, humid weather or within two  
hours after eating. Heat and/or digestion both  
make heavy demands on the circulatory system,  
and in combination with exercise can be an  
over-taxing double load.  
STEP 4 – Attaching the Foot Platforms  
a) Place a Foot Platform on the Left Foot Tube.  
b) Align the two holes between the Foot Platform  
and the Left Foot Tube. Insert two Allen Bolts  
and tighten the Bolts.  
COOL DOWN - a minimum of 5-10 minutes of  
slow walking or lower intensity elliptical exercise,  
combined with stretching.

MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE  
c) Repeat steps a and b to attach the other  
Foot Platform to the right side.  
(see chart on page 20)  
AEROBIC EXERCISE:  
HOW MUCH? HOW OFTEN?  
Heart rate is widely accepted as a good method  
for measuring intensity during running, swimming,  
cycling, and other aerobic activities. Exercise that  
doesn't raise your heart rate to a certain level and  
keep it there for 20 minutes won't contribute  
significantly to cardiovascular fitness.  
Experts recommend that you do some form of  
aerobic exercise at least three times a week for a  
minimum of 20 continuous minutes. Of course, if  
that is too much, start with a shorter time span and  
gradually build up to the minimum. Then gradually  
progress until you are able to work aerobically for  
20-40 minutes. If you want to lose weight, you may  
want to do your aerobic workout five times a week.

The heart rate you should maintain is called your  
Target Heart Rate. There are several ways of arriving  
at this figure. One of the simplest is: maximum heart  
rate (220 - age) x 70%. Thus, the target heart rate for  
a 40 year-old would be 126. In this example for this

for several years, you should consult your  
physician, who may or may not recommend  
a graded exercise test.  
Physical fitness is most easily understood by  
vertical tube  
examining its components, or "parts".  
There is widespread agreement that these  
five components comprise the basics of  
physical training:  
Note: Do not pinch the wires.  
If you are just beginning your exercise program,  
your target heart rate range should be roughly  
at 60% of your maximum heart rate. As you  
become more conditioned (or if you are already  
in good cardiovascular shape) you can increase  
your target heart rate to 70%-85% of your  
maximum heart rate. Remember, your  
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE - the ability  
to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and to  
remove wastes, over sustained periods of time.  
Using your elliptical trainer will improve this.  
MUSCULAR STRENGTH - the ability of a muscle to  
exert force for a brief period of time. Upper-body  
strength, for example, can be measured by various  
weight-lifting exercises.  
target heart rate is only a guide.  
You should also consult your physician if you  
have the following:  
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE - the ability of a muscle, or  
a group of muscles, to sustain repeated contractions  
or to continue applying force against a fixed object.  
Push-ups are often used to test endurance of arm  
and shoulder muscles.  
• High blood pressure  
• High cholesterol  
• Asthma  
Figure 5 – Install Stationary Bar  
• Heart trouble  
• Family history of early stroke or  
heart attack deaths  
FLEXIBILITY - the ability to move joints and use  
muscles through their full range of motion. The  
sit-and-reach test is a good measure of flexibility of  
the lower back and backs of the upper legs.  
• Frequent dizzy spells  
• Extreme breathlessness after mild exertion  
• Arthritis or other bone problems  
STEP 6 – Attaching the Water Bottle Holder  
BODY COMPOSITION - often considered a compo-  
nent of fitness. It refers to the makeup of the body in  
terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue and  
organs) and fat mass. An optimal ratio of fat to lean  
mass is an indication of fitness, and the right types of  
exercises will help you decrease body fat and  
increase or maintain muscle mass. To help track your  
progress we have provided a Workout Progress Chart  
on page 24.  
• Severe muscular, ligament or  
tendon problems

a) Align the two holes of the Vertical Tube  
with the two holes in the Water Bottle Holder.  
Secure the Holder with two Phillips Bolts.  
• Other known or suspected disease  
• If you experience any pain or tightness  
in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or  
shortness of breath, stop exercising  
immediately. Consult your physician  
before continuing.  
b) Insert Water Bottle into the Holder. Be sure to  
wash the bottle before usage.

A COMPLETE EXERCISE PROGRAM  
• Balance Impairment  
How often, how long and how hard you exercise,  
and what kinds of exercises you do should be  
determined by what you are trying to accomplish.  
Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health,  
skills, interest and convenience are among the  
factors you should consider. For example, an athlete  
training for high-level competition would follow a  
different program than a person whose goals are  
good health and the ability to meet work and  
recreational needs.

OPERATING THE MONITOR  
WARNING  
Do not plug AC Adapter into wall until  
monitor is completely assembled.  
INTRODUCTION  
This Monitor provides different programs  
designed to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply  
choose the program you like, set the parameters  
and begin exercising. The Monitor will display  
calories, RPM, time, speed, wattage, pulse,  
heart rate and distance.  
IMPORTANT  
Always consult with your physician before  
beginning any exercise program. If you are  
taking medication which may affect your heart  
rate, a physician’s advice is absolutely essential.  
USING YOUR MONITOR  
Plug the AC Adapter into the unit and then into a  
110 volt electrical socket to turn the Monitor on.  
When the Monitor is first turned on, the display will  
emit a beep as the entire LCD Display lights up.  
WARNING  
Do not attempt to open the back cover of the  
Monitor console. This is not a battery storage area;  
this Monitor is powered by an AC Adapter. This unit  
is to be used only indoors and in a dry location. Do  
not plug the AC Adapter into the wall until the  
electronics monitor is completely assembled.  
Press Up or Down on the Key Pad to move to the  
desired program. When the program is flashing, that  
is the program that would be selected. Press Enter to  
select the desired program. If the parameters in the  
program are at zero in the beginning of the workout,  
the parameters will count up from zero. During the  
workout, the Up and Down will increase (UP)/  
decrease (DOWN) the resistance load. The program  
profiles and functions are described in detail below  
and on the following pages.

CHANGING FOOT POSITIONS  
GETTING STARTED  
The generously sized foot platforms are 7” wide by 16” long,  
which provides workout stability and allows you to vary your  
foot position for different workout intensities. Begin with your  
feet in the most forward position and then move your feet  
to the position that feels most comfortable to you. The further  
back your feet are placed on the foot platforms, the greater the vertical  
height of the elliptical motion and therefore, the harder the workout.  
Once your elliptical trainer is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface  
with plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your unit to protect your flooring.  
Before you begin your first workout on the elliptical trainer, practice getting on and off your trainer a few  
times until you are comfortable with this movement.  
Getting On  
Move the left foot platform to its lowest position.

stationary handlebars.  
2) Place your left foot on the left foot platform and  
balance yourself.  
Dual-Action Handlebars  
3) Carefully lift your right foot over the unit and  
place your right foot on the right foot platform.  
Make sure that you feel completely balanced  
before beginning your workout.  
Place your hands midway between the top and bottom of the left and right arms on the  
dual-action handlebars. Adjust your hands up and down slightly to find the position most  
comfortable for you. Bend your elbows slightly so that your arms are not hyperextended  
or “locked out. Use a firm grip but try to avoid “white knuckles. As your legs move in the  
elliptical motion, pump your arms back and forth as if you were walking. Using the dual-  
action handlebars will work your upper body in addition to your lower body. By using the  
dual-action handlebars, you are recruiting more muscles which will both elevate your  
heart rate and burn more calories than simply doing a lower body workout.  
Getting Off  
When stepping off, you must gradually slow down the rate at which you are  
pedaling until the unit comes to a complete stop.  
1) Grasp the stationary handlebars with both hands (see Fig 3 above).  
2) Step off the higher foot platform onto the floor (see Fig 2 above).  
Using the Pulse Function on the Dual-Action Handlebars  
The pulse window on your monitor works in conjunction with the pulse sensors found  
on the dual-action handlebars. When you are ready to read your pulse:  
3) Then carefully bring your other foot over the unit and down to the floor  
(see Fig 1 above). Let go of the stationary handlebars.  
1) Place both hands firmly on the pulse sensors. For the most accurate  
reading, it is important to use both hands and to temporarily stop moving.  
Correct Workout Position  
2) Look at your pulse window. The small heart will begin to blink.  
When exercising, it is important to keep your back straight and knees “soft”  
or slightly bent. Do not lock out your knees. Keep your head up as this  
will minimize neck and upper back strain. Always try to use the  
elliptical trainer with a smooth and rhythmical motion.  
3) Your estimated heart rate will appear in the window approximately 6 seconds  
after you grasp the pulse sensors.  
4) Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone chart found on page 20 of this manual. For additional information  
about the importance of working within certain heart rate ranges, see pages 18 and 19 – Measuring  
Your Heart Rate.  
5) This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate  
heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.  
USING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER  
Stationary Handlebars  
Place your hands midway between the top and bottom of the left and right arms on the  
stationary handlebars. Adjust your hands up and down until you find the position most  
comfortable for you. Bend your elbows slightly so that your arms are not hyperextended  
or “locked out. Using the stationary handlebars during your workout will decrease the  
amount of work in your upper body and increase the amount of work in your lower body.  
WARNING  
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS UNIT IS TO BE USED  
ONLY INDOORS AND IN A DRY LOCATION.  
The elliptical trainer, with it’s Orbital Linkage System, provides a completely smooth and natural
