firmly with one hand at all times while making this
adjustment.
To adjust the

saddle post, first
loosen the adjust-
ment handle (E)
four turns and
pull it outward.
Next, move the
saddle post
upward or down-
ward, release the
adjustment handle
into an adjust-
ment hole in the
saddle post, and
firmly tighten the
adjustment han-
dle four turns.
Make sure that the adjustment handle is engaged
in an adjustment hole. Then, pull the adjustment
handle outward, turn it so that it points downward as
shown, and then release it.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR
To adjust the
height of the
handlebar, first
loosen the adjust-
ment handle (F)

pull it outward.
Then, move
the handlebar
upward or down-
ward, release the
adjustment handle
into an adjust-
ment hole in the
handlebar, and
firmly tighten the
adjustment han-
dle four turns.
Make sure that the adjustment handle is engaged
in an adjustment hole. Then, pull the adjustment
handle outward, turn it so that it points downward as
shown, and then release it.
To adjust the horizontal position of the handlebar,

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
The console features wireless technology that enables
the console to connect to iFit. With iFit, you can access
a large and varied workout library, create your own
workouts, track your workout results, and access many
other features.
In addition, the console features a selection of onboard
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an
effective exercise session.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button.
While you exercise, the console will display continuous
exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart
rate using an optional chest heart rate monitor (see
page 28 for more information).
You can also listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To activate the console or turn off the console,
