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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

IMPORTANT:
If you are over 35 and have been inactive
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

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

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

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.

1) Face forward and put your hands on the
USING THE HANDLEBARS
Your elliptical trainer comes with both dual-action handlebars and stationary handlebars.
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
