n Seat adjustment
Proper seat adjustment helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort,
while reducing the risk of injury.
1. Place one pedal in the forward position and center the ball of your foot over the
center of the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal, you will need
to move the seat down on the upright bike or forward on the recumbent bike. If
your leg is bent too much, you will need to move the seat up on the upright bike
or backward on the recumbent bike.
3. Adjust the upright seat height by first dismounting the bike, then pulling out the
adjustment knob on the seat tube and releasing the locking pin. Lower or raise
the seat to the desired height. Release the seat knob, engaging the locking pin.
Be sure that the pin is fully secured in a seat post hole. To adjust the recumbent
seat, pull the seat knob outward to release the seat. Slide the seat forward or
backward to the desired position. The knob will “pop” up into the next hole; turn
the knob to ensure a tight fit.
4. The upright bike also features a combination fore / aft and micro seat height
adjustment slider. To move the seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen
the knob, slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position and re-
tighten. Because of the unique angled design of the slider it also functions as a
micro seat height adjustment. Using this feature in combination with the pop-pin
adjustment on the seat tube enables you to fine tune the proper seat height for
optimum comfort and performance.
n Foot positioning/pedal strap adjustment
Place the ball of each foot on the pedals. Rotate the pedals until one foot is
within arms reach. Then, reach down carefully and fasten the rubber strap over
your shoe and secure it to the pedal by slipping the nub at the end of the pedal
through one of the slots in the strap. Pull down on the strap until it snaps into
place. Repeat for the other foot. Point your toes and knees directly forward to
ensure maximum pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can be left in place for subse-
quent workouts.
n Handlebar Adjustment
The upright bike offers an adjustable reach handlebar to ensure a variety of com-
fortable workout positions. To adjust the reach of the handlebars, loosen knob,
slide the handlebars in or out to the desired position and re-tighten.
