INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Eclipse®4100 HR/A Elliptical Trainer. You have
selected one of the most advanced, durable and convenient aerobic exercise products
on the market today. With the Eclipse 4100HR/A, you can get the physiological and technical benefits of health club models at an incredible value. Whether you are interested
in weight loss, strengthening your heart and lungs, toning muscles or a combination of
these, the Eclipse 4100
HR/A Elliptical Trainer can help you achieve your goals.
To give you the best fitness results, aerobic equipment should be simple, fun and welldesigned. The Eclipse 4100
HR/A delivers straight across the board. Its patented Orbital
Linkage System™gives you an easy, low-impact stride that follows a true elliptical path
with no “drop off” sensation found in so many elliptical trainers. You can change your
muscle involvement quickly and easily by simply changing from a forward to a reverse
foot motion or by changing your position slightly. You’ll use the muscles of your upper
and lower body for a calorie burn approximately equal to running on a treadmill
without sacrificing your knees, hips and ankles. State of the art electronics and built-in
pulse sensors give you an estimated pulse reading which can help maintain a consistent heart rate. And the Eclipse 4100
HR/A is so easy to use that you’ll be able to step on
and begin your workout right away. Finally the streamlined profile of the Eclipse
4100 HR/A will fit in any home or apartment and the transportation wheels make it easy
to maneuver and store.
Just one hour a week - three twenty minute sessions - is all it takes to begin experiencing the health benefits of aerobic exercise. With regular use of your Eclipse 4100
HR/A
Elliptical Trainer, you may soon notice some important changes in yourself, such as:
• More endurance and stamina
• Less body fat and excess weight (if you do not increase your caloric intake)
• Improved muscle tone in both your upper and lower body
• Increased energy for daily tasks
• Less stress and a more positive outlook
And if you increase your exercise program to 20 minutes every day, you can accelerate
these benefits dramatically.
We want you to be completely satisfied with your Eclipse 4100
HR/A Elliptical Trainer. If
during the course of using your Eclipse 4100HR/A you have any questions or concerns,
please write or call our Customer Service Specialists at the address or phone number
listed below, or contact us on our website. As always, we wish you success in your
fitness goals.
Sincerely,
Karla Williamson, Customer Service

REMEMBER - REVIEW THIS OWNER’S MANUAL
THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR WORKOUT!
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
Before starting this or any other exercise program, consult your
physician,
who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone
appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercise programs or
types of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially
important for people over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with
pre-existing health problems or balance impairments.
Start out slowly and progress sensibly.
Monitor your heart rate while you exercise and keep your estimated pulse
rate within your target heart rate zone.
Follow the instructions on page 19 in this
manual regarding heart rate monitoring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display
monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. 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.
Do not over exert yourself with this or any other exercise program. Listen to
your body and respond to any reactions you may be having. You must learn to distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain, which hurts. 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.
Remember to breathe. Do not hold your breath while exercising. If, during the
course of exercising, you become so breathless that you cannot hold a short
conversation, slow down.
Use care when stepping on and off the equipment. Set up and use your Eclipse
410 0HR/A on a solid, level surface. Follow the instructions found on page 13 of this
manual for proper entry and exit techniques.
Check all moving parts before each use. Do not use the equipment unless all
moving parts are working correctly.
Keep fingers and limbs, loose clothing and hair away from all
moving parts.
Wear appropriate clothing when exercising.
Workout clothing should be
comfortable and lightweight. Wear athletic shoes, such as running or aerobic shoes.
Do not use this product with bare feet or when wearing only socks or stockings.
The Eclipse 4100HR/A is not intended for use by children. Keep this and
all fitness equipment out of the reach of children.
Unplug your unit when it is not in use.
