HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
For effective exercise, the seat should be in the proper
position. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in
your knees when the pedals are at the point farthest
from you. To adjust the seat, first turn the seat knob
counterclockwise two or three turns to loosen it (if the
knob is not loosened enough, it may scratch the frame
rail). Next, pull the knob, slide the seat carriage to the
desired position, and then release the knob. Move the
seat carriage back and forth slightly until the pin
on the knob snaps into one of the holes in the
frame rail. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is
tight.
