CONGRATULATIONS
Assembly of your Elite VO2 Exercycle is now complete! Be sure to fully inspect your machine

WARNING: Failure to visually check and test the assembly of your exercycle before use can cause
damage to the exercycle and injury.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Having your bike seat adjusted to the right
height is essenal for a comfortable ride,
ecient pedalling and avoiding injury. There
are 2 adjustments located on the seat post. The
rst is a vercal height adjustment, the second
is for horizontal seat posion. Although there
are many methods and opinions on the opmal
saddle seng, the following is a quick an easy
method to get started. Further adjustments can
be made aerwards to opmise your posion
and comfort.
Saddle Height Adjustment
— Place your heels on the bike pedals and
pedal backward. Your legs should be fully
extended with your knees straight. If your
hips rock from side to side while pedalling
backward, the seat is too high.
— Place the ball of your foot on the pedal.
There should now be a slight bend in your
knee when the pedal is at its lowest point.
This is a good starng point.
Adjusting the Seat Fore-and-Aft Position
Once you’ve adjusted seat height, it’s me
to nd the correct fore-and-a posion of
the saddle. This determines where you sit
in relaonship to the crank set (where the
pedals are aached), which helps decide how
comfortable and ecient you’ll be when riding.
This also minimises stress to the knee by being
in a more neutral posion.
If you want to try to check the fore-and-a
seng at home, you will need a second person
and a plumb line (a length of string with a nut
or washer ed on the end will work ne).
Whilst sing on the seat saddle bring your right
crank arm around and have your helper stop
the crank when the pedal is at three o’clock
or parallel with the oor. Note that for this
measurement to be accurate, your shoes must
be correctly posioned on the pedals (the balls
of your feet should be over the pedal axles).
