aDjustinG tHe PeDal straPs
The straps are designed to fit your individual foot size and should be adjusted tight enough to keep your foot from slipping. The pedals include
spring loaded clips for easy adjustment. To tighten the strap, pull down the open end of the strap. To loosen the strap, push down on the top of
the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap in place.
aDjustinG tHe r7xe seat
While seated on the Matrix Recumbent Bike, an optimum position
will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking
the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight
bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring loaded seat lever
on the right side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat
forward or backward to its desired location. Release the spring
loaded seat lever and gently attempt to rock forward and backward
to assure it is locked in place. Check the seat distance again and
re-adjust it if necessary. If the seat is wobbly or loose, tighten the
seat roller brackets using the procedure outlined in Section 8.11.
