Adjusting the Seat
The comfort and effectiveness of your workout on the xR6 begins with proper seat position. Both the height of the
seat and the tilt of the seatback on the xR6 seat are adjustable, ensuring that you can find just the right position to
suit your preference and deliver the best possible workout.
Note: When adjusting seat height or tilt, make sure you hear and feel the adjustment mechanism lock
into position.
Adjusting seat height
Adjust seat height on the xR6 Series using the handle located
just under the front edge of the seat. While bracing yourself
with your feet on the platform, lift up on the handle and use
your legs to move the seat into a comfortable height. Place
your feet on the pedals and pedal forward, stopping when
one pedal is at its lowest point. Check the position of your
leg on this pedal; your knee should be slightly bent. If your
leg is fully extended, or your knee is bent too much, readjust
the seat height until you have the proper leg extension.
Adjusting seatback tilt
Adjust the tilt of the seatback on the xR6 Series using the
handle located just under the left edge of the seat. You may
choose one of five positions, with position 1 being the most
upright and position 5 being the most reclined. To adjust,
lean forward slightly, then pull out on the yellow knob to
disengage the tilt lock. Press back to recline or shift your
weight slightly forward to tilt the seatback up. Release the
knob, then shift your weight slightly until you hear the tilt
lock pop into position.
Note: Once you have adjusted the tilt of the seatback to a comfortable position, pedal forward and
recheck your leg extension. You may need to readjust the seat height to compensate for the
change in tilt.
Tip: Be sure to record the position numbers of both the seat height (1-20) and the seatback tilt (1-5)
so that you can quickly set the seat when you are ready to begin your next workout.
