4.1 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 
instructions below describe 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 axis with both 
hands, press the height adjustment lever towards the outer edge of the 
crank axis, 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 height adjustment mechanism is locked into posi-

tion before you begin Kranking.

With your back straight, position yourself on the saddle so that there is a 
slight bend in the elbow when the crank arm is in the furthest position away 
from the body.

To Krank while standing, first remove the seat and set aside.  Stand with 
your back straight and your feet shoulder width apart.  Position yourself so 
there is a slight bend in the elbow when the crank arm is in the furthest 
position away from the body.  Adjust the crank height if necessary.

!WARNING! 

When replacing the seat be sure the hooks are fully engaged 

around protruding center pin.
