Set Seat Height
• To properly set the Seat height, start with the seat in the lowest
position. To lower the Seat height, first loosen the Height
Adjustment Knob by turning it counter-clockwise (Figure 28).
• Pull outward on the spring-loaded Height Adjustment Knob
while pushing the Seat Handle downward (Figure 29). Release
the Height Adjustment Knob into the lowest hole setting.
• Sit down on the Seat and place your toes toward the top of the
pedals, which for most people is where you should position your
feet during use (Figure 30). Extend to
FULL STRIDE
with one leg.
· If the knee on your extended leg is just slightly bent, then
you have found your ideal Seat height setting (Figure 31).
· If the knee is locked out, then you have found your Height
setting but will need to shift your foot position on the
pedal to allow for a slight bend in the knee during use.
· If the knee is bent too much (beyond a few degrees), then
you will need to raise the Seat height.
• To raise the Seat height, simply hold the Seat Handles and
gently push with your legs until the Height Adjustment Knob
locks into the next setting (Figure 32). Try each height setting
until you have found a position that allows for a slight bend
in the knee while your leg is fully extended and your toes are
toward the top of the Pedals.
• ALWAYS
secure the Seat setting before using the FreeStep
™
by
turning the Height Adjustment Knob clockwise while in a hole
setting (Figure 33).

USER GUIDE
CAUTION
!
ALWAYS
adjust Seat height first before use to avoid injury to
the knees. Proper feet placement and seat height will ensure
that your knees never travel over your toes when bent, and
that your leg does not lock out in full extension.
