SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Seat Adjustment
Ensuring you have the most comfortable riding position whilst minimising joint strain is
important. Adjusting your seat is simple and can normally be done without needing to get
off 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 still in the
bent position, unlock the seat mechanism and adjust to the fully extended position (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
position (Pic 2). This should allow for a natural bend in the knee, whilst providing a full 360
degree rotation. 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 position. Before commencing your
workout please reattach and adjust the toe strap correctly to secure your foot rmly 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 position further than normal to allow for
any reduced joint mobility due to swelling and inflammation.
Picture 1 – Leg extended fully with heel on pedal Picture 2 – Knee bent, forefoot on pedal

PLEASE NOTE: If the machine is put in storage or not intended to be used for any period longer
than 4 weeks, please remove the baeries from the console to avoid any corroding and potenal
damage to the console.
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your exercycle, ensure the power is
turned off and the power cord removed from the plug socket.
Prolong the life of your exercycle by performing periodic maintenance checks. Not only
does this ensure your machine is in full working order to ensure they continue to run
smoothly and reliably, but it will save you service costs in the long run.
Cleaning
General cleaning of the unit after use will protect the bike’s powder-coated framework
and prevent unnecessary corrosion stains and damage to the structural components
from sweat and perspiration.
Please ensure all sweat residue is wiped from any contact points or framework with a
damp cloth using a suitable PH neutral detergent in water to avoid salt and corrosion
deposits on your equipment. Failure or neglect to maintain and clean sweat residue from
the bike frame may affect any frame warranty implied.
Frame and Pedals
Check all nuts and bolts securing the framework, seat and handlebar assemblies are
tight.
Ensure the pedals are securely attached to the crank arms. When tightening pay attention
to the reverse thread (tightening anti-clockwise) on the left hand pedal assembly, when
sitting on the bike. Be careful not to strip or force the pedal thread when tightening.

2120 ELITE VO2 EXERCYCLE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
Warm up exercise is important in preparing the muscles for activity whilst minimising the
risk
of injury. You may choose to warm up with a light/brisk walking pace for 5-10 minutes
before stopping and performing some simple stretches. (As shown in the pictures below)
—Hamstring Stretch (Standing)
Keep your knees slightly bent and slowly lean forward,
back and shoulders relaxed, reaching towards your toes.
You should feel the tension and slight discomfort in your
hamstring muscles. Hold for 15-20 seconds. Repeat 2-3
times.
—Hamstrings Stretches (Seated)
Sitting on the floor preferably on a mat, put one leg
straight, the other inward and close to the inside of
the straight leg. Lean forward from the hips, reaching
towards your toes.
Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 times for
each leg (See picture 2).
—Crus and Feet Tendon Stretches
Standing with two hands on the wall or tree, one leg
behind. Keeping your legs straight and the heel on the
ground, lean forward towards the wall or tree. Hold for
10-15 seconds,
and relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg (See picture 3).
—Quadriceps Stretches
Keeping your balance with your left hand holding onto
a wall or stationery xture, grasp your right foot with
your right hand and stretch your right heel toward your
buttocks slowly, until you feel the stretch in the front of
your thigh. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg (See picture 4).
—Sartorius (Inner Muscles of the Thigh) Muscle Stretches
Sitting down with the soles of your feet or shoes together
and your knees positioned outward. Pull your feet
towards your groin until you can feel the stretch. Hold for
10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 times (See picture 5).
WARM-UP EXERCISE
Cardiovascular training plays an important part in maintaining a healthy heart and lung
function,
so it’s no surprise we should be paying attention to how quickly our heart beats during
exercise. The chart above outlines a range of heart rate training zones determined by the
individual’s age and workout goals to ensure you train safely and effectively.
Heart Rate can be measured by using the radial (wrist) or carotid (neck) pulse using your
index
and middle ngers, counting the beats for 10 seconds and multiplying by 6. Alternatively,
the use of a Wireless Telemetry Heart Rate strap and watch will give you an accurate
Beats Per Minute (BPM) reading.
220 – AGE = TMHR (Theoretical Maximum Heart Rate)
TMHR x 85% = (Upper Training Limit) BPM
TMHR x 65% = (Lower Training Limit) BPM
Note: Contact heart rate may provide inaccurate readings and is designed only as a guide
Example: 220 – 39 = 181 BPM
181 x 85% (0.85) = 154 BPM (Upper Training Limit)
181 x 65% (0.65) = 118 BPM (Lower Training Limit)
