Lock Pedal (60L) and Pedal (60R) simultaneously, using a Wrench(93) and tighten well.
NOTE: The Pedals (20&22) are marked “L” and “R” for Left and Right. Right foot installation is

to the corresponding crank. Attaching the pedal to the wrong crank can cause irreversible damage
both the pedal and the crank.

or the thread on Pedals and Cranks will be smoothed by incorrect operation.
It is a good idea to apply grease to the threads before attaching them to the crank, this will assure
that they can be removed in the future. Tighten both Pedals as firmly as possible. After using the
Exercise Bike for one week, re -ighten the Pedals. For best performance, keep the Pedals tightened.

CONGRATULATIONS
Assembly of your Elite Lynx Recumbent bike is now complete! Be sure to fully inspect your

SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Seat Adjustment
Ensuring you have the most comfortable riding posion whilst minimising joint strain is important.
Adjusng your seat is simple and can normally be done without needing to get o the bike.
Place your heel on one of the bike pedals and rotate to the furthest point on the pedal stroke (as
shown) You may need to remove the toe strap to do this. If the leg is sll in the bent posion, unlock
the seat mechanism and adjust to the fully extended posion (Pic.1) – Lock the seat adjustment
mechanism in to place.
Moving your foot backwards, place your forefoot on to the pedal in the correct riding posion (Pic 2).
This should allow for a natural bend in the knee, whilst providing a full 360 degree rotaon. If you
experience the feeling of reaching for the pedal or sliding down the seat, you may need to make a
minor adjustment to the posion. Before commencing your workout please reaach and adjust the
toe strap correctly to secure your foot firmly on the pedal.
Note: If you are using the exercycle for injury rehabilitation purposes i.e. Knee Replacements you
may need to extend the seat posion further than normal to allow for any reduced joint mobility due
to swelling and inammaon.
