HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT POST

For effective exercise, the seat should be at the

proper height. As you pedal, there should be a slight

bend in your knees when the pedals are in the lowest

position.

To adjust the height

of the seat post, first

loosen the adjust-

ment knob and pull it

outward. Then, move

the seat post upward

or downward,

release the adjust-

ment knob into an

adjustment hole in

the seat post, and firmly tighten the adjustment knob.

Make sure that the adjustment knob is engaged in

an adjustment hole.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR POST

To adjust the height

of the handlebar

post, first loosen the

adjustment knob and

pull it outward. Then,

move the handlebar

post upward or

downward, release

the adjustment knob

into an adjustment

hole in the handlebar post, and firmly tighten the

adjustment knob.

Make sure that the adjustment

knob is engaged in an adjustment hole.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

To tighten the pedal straps (see the drawing on page

4), simply pull the ends of the pedal straps. To loosen

the pedal straps, press and hold the tabs on the buck-

les, adjust the pedal straps to the desired position,

and then release the tabs.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE

To increase the resis-

tance of the pedals,

turn the resistance

knob clockwise; to

decrease the resis-

tance, turn the

resistance knob

counterclockwise.

To stop the flywheel, push the brake lever down-

ward. The flywheel should quickly come to a

complete stop.

IMPORTANT: When the exercise bike is not in use,

tighten the resistance knob completely.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE BIKE

If the exercise bike rocks slightly on your floor during

use, turn one or both of the leveling feet on the front

or rear stabilizer (see the drawing on page 4) until the

rocking motion is eliminated.

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE EXERCISE BIKE

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise bike regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a

small amount of mild detergent.
