SEAT ADJUSTMENT
To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not sit on the seat while adjusting its position. SEAT POSITION
To adjust, lift up on the adjustment lever and hold. Then, slide the seat to a position that puts you in a comfortable pedaling range (one that keeps a slight bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position). Release lever to lock the mechanism. SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT (R50)
To adjust the tilt angle of the seat back, rotate the lever down (counterclockwise) and lean back on the mesh seat back until the desired position is achieved. When the position is set, rotate the lever upward (clockwise) until it is snug. The seat back comes equipped
with a spring return system to return the seat back to its original position when the adjustment lever is released and the user is not leaning against the seat back. MATRIX U50 R50 Recumbent Bike - CONSOLE A Open HARDWARE FOR STEP 1.
