THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR WORKOUT!

MPORTANT 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 tar-
get 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 distin-
guish “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

4100

HR/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 4100

HR/A

is not intended for use by children.

Keep this and 

all fitness equipment out of the reach of children.
