Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. 1. With a Pedal in the forward position, place the heel of your foot to the lowest
part of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee. 2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, you need to
move the seat downward. If your leg is bent too much, you need to move the seat upward.
Step off the machine before you adjust the seat. 3. Loosen and pull the Seat Post Adjustment Knob on the Seat Post to disengage
the pop pin as you hold the post to prevent it from dropping. Adjust the Seat to the desired height.
Do not lift the Seat Post above the “STOP” mark on the Seat Post.
4. Release the Seat Post Adjustment Knob to lock the pop pin in the desired hole in the Seat Post. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged and fully tighten the adjustment knob.
