Figure 3A-9 a, b, c. Adjusting the strider poles
The strider poles, also called arm levers, can be adjusted for different heights as well as rotated forward and backward. Open the
quick release lever on each strider pole (Fig. 3A-9a) and slide the strider pole up or down. Use the etched indicator marks on the
black poles to set them at the same height (Fig. 3A-9b). To make sure the poles are symmetric, put both joints # 2 in the same
position by moving the crank arms to the 12 and 6 o’clock position, then rotate the strider poles so they are mirror images (Fig.
3A-9c). The upper section of each pole should be bent slightly forward, away from the rider, for optimum wrist bend. If the upper
section is bent slightly backward, towards the rider, then you should reverse the placement of each pole. To do this, raise each
pole up and out of the red receiver pole, then place each pole in the opposite red receiver pole. Reposition and lock the quick
release levers (Fig. 3A-9c).
Adjusting Brake Lever Position

brake lever and the pin will pop out.
Aligning the Front Wheels
.
Although the front wheels are aligned at the factory, it is a good idea to check by measuring the distance from mid-tire to mid-tire
on the front edge of the front wheels and again on the back edge of the front wheels. If the two distances are equal, the wheels
are aligned correctly. If the distances are unequal by more than 1/8” or 3 mm, use the two 14 mm open end wrenches to loosen
the rod end jam nuts (Fig. 3A-11a), then rotate the steering rods (Fig. 3A-11b) to adjust the wheels so they are parallel. Check
by re-measuring the distances, then tighten the jam nuts with the 14 mm wrenches. The front wheels should remain aligned.
WARNING: Do not stand on the foot
platform when the telescoping
strider ski is extended. This action
is not covered by the warranty.
Doing this will damage or break the
telescoping tube, and you will have
to purchase a new strider ski. The
telescoping tube is extended only
when folding the Eclipse.
To rotate the brake lever to the most
comfortable position for your hand to
operate the brake lever, use the 5 mm
hex wrench from the tool kit. Loosen the
screw on the brake lever clamp that is
closest to the hand grip (Fig. 3A-10a),
rotate the clamp to the correct position,
then tighten the screw again. Note the
parking brake pin that will prevent the
Eclipse from rolling away when parked
(Fig. 3A-10b). To engage the parking
brake pin, push the pin through the hole
while squeezing the brake lever. To
release the parking brake pin, lightly
squeeze the brake lever and the pin will
pop out.
