HOW TO USE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

For effective
exercise, the
Seat (21) 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 Seat,
first hold the
Seat and
remove the Seat Pin (16). Align one of the holes in
the Seat Post (20) with the hole in the Frame (1).
Insert the Seat Pin into the Frame and the Seat Post.

Caution: Make sure to insert the Seat Pin through
one of the holes in the Seat Post; do not insert the
Seat Pin under the Seat Post. In addition, make
sure that the Seat Pin is inserted into the front of
the Frame and the Seat Post as shown above. 

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE

To vary the
intensity of your
exercise, the
pedaling resis-
tance can be
adjusted. The
resistance is
controlled with
the Resistance
Knob (27). To
increase the
resistance, turn
the Resistance Knob clockwise; to decrease the resis-
tance, turn the Resistance Knob counterclockwise.  

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batter-
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-
ies, see assembly step 5 on page 5.

ly displayed. Note: If a different mode is selected,
