HOW TO USE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE

HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST

When the recum-
bent cycle is used,
the backrest should
be in the upright
position. To adjust
the backrest, first
pull out the adjust-
ment pin. Raise the
backrest until it is
nearly vertical, and
then insert the
adjustment pin into
the indicated hole
in the rounded
brackets and the
corresponding hole
in the seat carriage.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT  

For effective exer-
cise, the seat
should be in the
proper position. As
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals
are in the farthest
position. To adjust
the seat, first turn
the indicated
adjustment knob
counterclockwise
two or three turns
to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may
scratch the rail). Next, pull the knob, slide the seat car-
riage to the desired position, and then release the
knob. Move the seat carriage back and forth slightly
until it locks into position. 
Then, turn the knob clock-
wise until it is tight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE UPRIGHT  

The upright can be
adjusted to the
height that is the
most comfortable for
you. To adjust the
upright, first turn the
indicated adjust-
ment knob counter-
clockwise two or
three turns to
loosen it (if the knob
is not loosened enough, it may scratch the upright).
Next, pull the knob, slide the upright to the desired
height, and then release the knob. Move the upright
up and down slightly until it locks into position.
Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight. IMPOR-
TANT: After you adjust the upright, make sure that
your knees will not touch the handgrip pulse sen-
sor when you pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

To adjust the pedal
straps, first pull the
ends of the straps
off the tabs on the
pedals. Adjust the
straps to the
desired positions,
and then press the
ends of the straps
back onto the tabs.

HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS

The included hand weights can be used for a variety
of strength training exercises with the weight bench
(refer to page 20). In addition, the hand weights can
be used with the recumbent cycle. As you pedal, press
the hand weights over your head, raise the hand
weights out to your sides until your hands are level
with your shoulders, or do arm curls with the hand
weights.
