Adjusting Seat Position (P-SERIES
Recumbent
Bike)
When sitting on the seat of your P-SERIES Recumbent Bike, your knees
should be almost fully extended when the pedals are at the lowest point of their
rotation. To adjust the seat position:
Sit on the seat and grasp the seat adjustment handle (located under
the seat). Lift up on the handle, and slide the seat forward or back-
ward on the seat carriage to the closest available position that allows
your knees to be slightly bent toward the lower pedal. Release the
handle, ensuring that the spring retracts to its original position, and
that the seat stays firmly in place.
Note your height adjustment (shown on the top of the seat rail either
in front of or behind the seat) for future reference.
