HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE EXERCISE
CYCLE
Stand in back of the exercise cycle, and lift the exer-
cise cycle until it can be moved on the front wheels.
Move the exercise cycle to the desired location and
carefully lower it. Due to the weight of the exercise
cycle, use extreme caution while moving it.
If the exercise cycle
rocks slightly during
use, turn the level-
ing feet under the
rear stabilizer until
the rocking motion
is eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
The seat can be
adjusted to the posi-
tion that is the most
comfortable for you.
To adjust the seat,
pull the seat knob,
slide the seat for-
ward or backward,
and then release
the seat knob. Move
the seat forward or
backward slightly
until the pin on the
seat knob snaps into one of the holes in the seat rail.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
The pedal straps
can be adjusted to
the position that is
the most comfort-
able for you. Press
the tabs on the ped-
als, adjust the
straps to the
desired position,
and then release
the tabs.
