¨

REBEL

HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN RECUMBENT BIKE
AND ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To switch from recumbent bike to elliptical crosstrain-
er, lift the Seat (43) as far as it will go. Tighten the
Lock Knob (81, not visible) into the Upright (2). 

Note:

Tighten the Lock Knob fully. 

Push the Console (5)

in to disengage the lock, and then turn it so the dis-
play is visible when you are standing on the pedals. 

To switch from elliptical crosstrainer to recumbent
bike, loosen the Lock Knob (81, not visible). Fold the
Seat (43) down and turn the Console (5) so it is visi-
ble when you are sitting on the Seat. 

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE REBEL WHEN IT IS
SET UP AS AN ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To mount the REBEL in the crosstrainer mode, hold
the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. 

Note: The crank can turn in either direc-

tion. To get the full impact of the elliptical motion,
it is recommended that you turn the crank in the
direction shown by the arrow below; however, to
give variety to your exercise, you may choose to
turn the crank in the opposite direction.

Make sure that the negative
