Adjusting the saddle position
Saddle height
• Stand beside the saddle post and adjust the saddle to hip height.
• Rotate the pedal crank so that the pedals are in the vertical position.
• Place a foot on the lower pedal and get on the indoor cycle. Your knee should be slightly bent.
• When your leg is stretched too much or the foot does not touch the pedal, the saddle needs to be
lowered. When your leg is bent too much, the saddle needs to be adjusted at a higher position.
• Get off the indoor cycle in order to adjust the height and release the adjusting lever of the saddle
post. Push then the saddle post up or down as required.
• When the saddle is in the desired position, lock the adjusting lever back to the locked position in
order to safe the saddle post.
• Do not exceed the adjustments beyond the stop markings.
Horizontal adjustment
• Get on the indoor cycle and rotate the pedal crank to the 3-and-9 o‘clock position. The horizontal
adjustment of the seat is correct, when the knee joint of the leg, which points forward, is above the
axle of the pedal.
• Otherwise, get off the indoor cycle to adjust the saddle in horizontal direction forwards or
backwards. Release the adjusting lever of the saddle and push the seat forwards or backwards as
required. Fix the lever then again.
• Do not exceed the adjustments beyond the stop markings.
࣑ ATTENTION
+ For safety reason, do not pedal backwards while the braking resistance is set.
+ The equipment is NOT equipped with a free wheel system. That means: When the flywheel
rotates, the pedals rotate as well. In order to avoid knee injuries, do not try to stop the
equipment by pushing backwards on the pedals. Do not try as well to take your feet from
the rotating pedals. The movement can only be stopped by using the emergency brake or
by a controlled reduction of the cadence.
