*WARNING! Do not forcibly turn the Resistance Knob beyond its loosening stop point
or it will break and void your warranty.
Accessory Set-Up
Chair/Couch Set Up
1.
Lay the Keeper on a chair or couch with the Keeper End Holes being slightly in front of
the seat (place a towel down to protect your surface). It is easiest to use the end of the
Keeper that has just two holes along the edge. Optionally and only when used with a
Bar, the end that has four holes along the edge can be used.
2.
Sit on the Keeper. Make sure it stays slightly in front of the seating surface. Adjust the
Slide to your height.
3.
Place the Keeper Edge Holes over the Slide (or Bar) Keeper Receiver Posts. First work
one of the Keeper Holes over one of the Posts and press it down and over so that the
second Keeper Hole has space to go over the second Post.
4.
If the Posts you are attaching to are facing upward (as on the Removable Bar Option),
then you will need to place the supplied Retainer between the Posts to prevent the
Keeper from coming loose. Take the end without the rubber loop and press it between
the Posts. Then take the rubber loop and wrap it around the outside of each post and
fully over the other side of the Posts (see photos).
5.
Place one foot on an Excy pedal and one on the floor. Add the other foot and start
cycling.
Adjusting Resistance
Excy’s unique approach to resistance based on a tensioning mechanism that is bi-
directional and can be easily dialed up or down with the simple twist of the Resistance
Knob. Turn right for harder resistance and you will see the Resistance Indicator Tubes
rise. Turn left to make the tension easier and the Resistance Indicator Tubes will
lower. It is best to start with an easy resistance level while your body gets use to new
exercises. You generally can use easier resistance levels for aerobic type exercising
and higher resistance levels for strength type exercising. At higher tensions, turning
the Resistance Knob will be easier if a reverse direction for is applied to one of the
pedals.
