CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so, or failing
to insert the seat pin completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.
MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas essayer d'ajuster la selle pendant le pédalage. Tout
ajustage en cours de fonctionnement ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la
selle pourrait nuire à l'exercice ou entraîner des blessures.

The bike pedal straps keep the user’s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit
comfortably, but they also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the
pedaling rotation. Before working out, a user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.
The safety straps on the foot pedals of the Lifecycle recumbent bike can be adjusted to fit a vari-
ety of shoe sizes. The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend from either side of each
pedal. The “inner” knob extends sideways, that is, toward the bike. The “outer” knob extends
downward. The ends of each strap are perforated with slots that fit tightly over the knobs. The
“inner” end of each strap is perforated with two slots, and the “outer” segment of the strap is
perforated with a row of slots.
To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it
back, away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Pull the
strap out through the outer loop on the pedal. Rest the foot on
the pedal, and wrap the strap over the foot to determine the
desired length. Thread the strap through the outer loop on the
pedal, tuck it under the pedal, select the appropriate slot, and
pull that slot down over the knob, until the top of the knob pops
through the slot. A click indicates that the strap is locked into
place.
