HOW TO USE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE
HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST
When the recum-
bent cycle is used,
the backrest should
be in the upright
position. To adjust
the backrest, first
pull out the adjust-
ment pin. Raise the
backrest until it is
nearly vertical, and
then insert the
adjustment pin into
the pin hole in the
backrest frame and
the pin hole in the
seat frame.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
For effective exer-
cise, the seat
should be in the
proper position. As
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals
are in the farthest
position. To adjust
the seat, first turn
the adjustment
knob counterclock-
wise two or three turns to loosen it (if the knob is not
loosened enough, it may scratch the seat frame). Next,
slide the seat frame to the desired position, and then
turn the knob clockwise until it is tight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust the pedal
straps, first pull the
ends of the straps
off the tabs on the
pedals. Adjust the
straps to the
desired positions,
and then press the
ends of the straps
back onto the tabs.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To increase the
resistance of the
pedals, turn the
resistance knob
clockwise; to
decrease the resis-
tance, turn the knob
counterclockwise.
Important: Stop
turning the knob
when turning becomes difficult, or the resistance
control may become damaged.
HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS
The included hand weights can be used for a variety
of strength training exercises with the weight bench
(see page 11). In addition, the hand weights can be
used with the recumbent cycle. As you pedal, press
the hand weights over your head, raise the hand
weights out to your sides until your hands are level
with your shoulders, or do arm curls.
