OPERATION
■ 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 Fig 2. the knee (Figs. 1 and 2).
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 (Fig. 3). 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 up with your right hand 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. (Fig.4)
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 (Fig. 5). 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.
