HOW TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE SADDLE

You can adjust the angle of the saddle to the posi-

tion that is most comfortable. You can also slide your 

saddle forward or backward to increase your comfort or 

to adjust the distance to the handlebar.

To adjust the saddle, see the drawing in assembly step 

5 on page 8. Loosen the nuts on the saddle clamp 

a few turns, and then tilt the saddle upward or down-

ward or slide the saddle forward or backward to the 

desired position. Then, retighten the nuts.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE BIKE

If the exercise bike rocks slightly on your floor during 

use, turn one or both of the leveling feet on the front 

and rear stabilizers (see the drawing on page 5) 

until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HORIZONTAL POSITION OF 

THE SADDLE

To adjust the position 

of the saddle, first 

loosen the adjust-

ment knob and pull 

it downward. Then, 

move the saddle 

forward or backward, 

release the adjust-

ment knob into an 

adjustment hole in 

the saddle carriage, 

and firmly tighten 

the adjustment knob. 

Make sure that the adjustment 

knob is engaged in an adjustment hole.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SADDLE POST

For effective exercise, the saddle should be at the 

proper height. As you pedal, there should be a slight 

bend in your knees when the pedals are in the lowest 

position. 

To adjust the height 

of the saddle post, 

first loosen the 

adjustment knob and 

pull it outward. Then, 

move the saddle post 

upward or downward, 

release the adjust-

ment knob into an 

adjustment hole in 

the saddle post, and 

firmly tighten the 

adjustment knob. 

Make sure that the adjustment 

knob is engaged in an adjustment hole. 

HOW TO ADJUST THE HORIZONTAL POSITION OF 

THE HANDLEBAR

To adjust the hori-

zontal position of the 

handlebar, loosen the 

adjustment handle, 

move the handlebar 

forward or backward 

to the desired posi-

tion, and then tighten 

the adjustment 

handle. 

Note: The adjustment handle functions like a ratchet. 

See assembly step 7 on page 8 for an explanation.
