4.2 PRoPER SET UP

The KRANKcycle™ was designed explicitly for upper body and cardiovascular training. To maximize exercise effectiveness and comfort, the

KRANKcycle™ should be adjusted for each user and exercise position. The instruction below describes one approach to adjusting the cycle to

ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning: you may choose to adjust the cycle differently.

CRANK HEIgHT ADJUSTMENT

While seated on the KRANKcycle™, grab the upper crank axle with both hands, press the height adjustment lever towards the outer edge of the

crank axle, lifting or lowering the crank axis until it is in line with the center of the chest. Release the lever to lock into position. Crank handles

should not hit the thigh when rotated.

WARNINg

Make sure the height adjustment mechanism is locked into position before you begin Kranking.

WARNINg

When replacing the seat, be sure the hooks are fully engaged around the protruding center pin.
