provides extra stability and balance. You can adjust the handlebar position to suit your individual size and sitting
position.

Undo the knurled-knob locking screw
on the support tube.
•
Adjust the handlebar to the desired height and firmly retighten the knurled knob. Make sure that the
handlebar support post is inserted to a depth of at least 4 inches in the support tube. The post has a line
marking the minimum insertion depth.
•
If you wish to adjust the reach of the handlebar, you must undo the eight screws
a small amount using the
tool supplied.
•
Move the handlebar to the desired position and then retighten the screws. The handlebar position should be
set so as to obtain as upright an exercising position as possible.
Adjusting the Omnicycle

The Omnicycle
®
can be given greater stability by extending the “T” stand. This is
useful for upper body exercising in particular.
•
Tip the Omnicycle

Extend the exerciser stand taking care not to exceed the maximum
