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.
5. To move the seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen the Seat Slider Adjustment Handle. Slide the seat to the desired position and fully tighten the handle. Pull the handle down and turn so that it is aligned with the Seat Slider, then release.
Note: If the handle cannot turn due to conflict with another part, pull the handle, turn and push it back in to reposition it. Continue turning as needed.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike. 1. Put the ball of each foot in the Foot Restraint on the Pedals. 2. Fasten the strap over the shoe. 3. Repeat for the other foot.. Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can be left in position for subsequent workouts.

Locking the Flywheel for Storage
When the machine is not in use, be sure to lock the Flywheel with the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob. To lock the Flywheel, turn the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob clockwise until it encounters an increase in resistance. Then rotate the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob another 1/2 turn clockwise. The Flywheel is now locked. The flywheel should be locked for storage of the machine.
For safe storage of the machine, remove the power supply and place in a secure location. Tighten the Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob as described until the Flywheel is locked. Place the machine in a secure location away from children and pets. With the Flywheel locked, the level of resistance will be out of the range of operation displayed by the Console. Do not use the machine with the level of resistance outside of the 0% – 100% range. This will damage the ability to quickly stop the Flywheel during an emergency, and the effectiveness of securing the bike for storage. Turn the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob until the RESISTANCE displayed on the Console is less than 100%. The resistance is now in the designed range of operation for the bike. .
