CARE & STORAGE

Care directions

Your Eclipse® 1100HR has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance. However, we recommend the following to keep your elliptical trainer operating smoothly.

Use your Eclipse 1100HR indoors only.

Wipe all perspiration from your elliptical trainer with a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent an accumulation of sweat and dirt.

Clean your elliptical trainer on a regular basis to prevent a build-up of dust. Use Windex or an alcohol based cleanser on a clean cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners and/or polish as these will damage the surface.

Store your equipment in a dry area away from children and high traffic areas.

Regularly check the tightness of nuts, bolts and pins.

Storing directions

Your elliptical trainer is lightweight, compact and portable. It can be easily moved from place to place and is small enough to store in a closet.

Stand in front of the trainer and make sure that the dual action handlebars are even. They are even when one foot pedal is at the top of the elliptical disc and the other is at the bottom.

Grasp the stationary handlebars and pull back, tipping the machine towards you until it is resting on the transportation wheels.

Wheel the machine to its new location and store in an upright position.

GETTING STARTED

Once your Eclipse®1100HR is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with plenty of space around it. Practice getting on and off your trainer a few times until you are comfortable with this movement.

Getting on

Move the left foot pedal to its lowest position. 1) Face forward and put your hands on the stationary handlebars. 2) Place your left foot on the left foot pedal and balance yourself. 3) Carefully lift your right foot over the machine and place your right foot on the right foot pedal. Make sure that you feel completely balanced before beginning your workout.

Getting off

When stepping off, you must bring the machine to a complete stop. Grasp the stationary handlebars with both hands and step off the lower foot pedal onto the floor. Then carefully bring your other foot over the machine and down to the floor. Let go of the stationary handlebars.

Important safety tips:

Always wear rubber soled workout shoes.

Always make sure that you feel balanced and secure.

Always use your machine on a clean, solid and level surface.

Correct workout position

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 Eclipse 1100HR with a smooth and rhythmical motion.
