HOW TO USE THE EXERCISE BIKE

HANDLEBAR OPERATION
You can use the handlebars in the dual-action mode,
for upper- and lower-body exercise, or in the station-
ary mode, for pedaling exercise only.
Dual-action Mode
To convert the handlebars to the dual-action mode,
the link arms must be connected to the pedals.
First, lift the link arms off the lock rods.

Next, pull the link arms outward against the tops of the
blue washers, while pulling against the bottoms of the
blue washers with your fingers as shown. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers. Next, slide the link arms
onto the pedal bushings. Move the link arms upward
and downward slightly to make sure that they are fully
seated on the pedal bushings. CAUTION: Make sure
that the link arms are fully seated on the pedal
bushings. If the link arms are not on the pedal
bushings, they may slip off during use, resulting
in injury to the user.

Stationary Mode
To convert the handlebars to the stationary mode, the
link arms must be disconnected from the pedals. Pull
the link arms outward against the blue washers until
the link arms are free of the pedal bushings (see
drawing 2 at the left). Be careful not to pinch your
fingers. Next, lift the link arms off the pedals, and clip
them onto the lock rods (see drawing 1 at the left).
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
For effective exercise, the seat must be at the proper
height. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in
your knees when the pedals are in the lowest position.
To adjust the seat,
first turn the seat
knob counterclock-
wise two or three
turns to loosen it.
Next, pull the seat
knob, raise or lower
the seat post, and
then release the
seat knob. Move
the seat post
upward and down-
ward slightly to
make sure that the
pin on the seat
knob is engaged in one of the adjustment holes in
the seat post. Then, tighten the seat knob.
CAUTION: Make sure that the pin on the seat knob
is inserted into one of the adjustment holes in the
seat post. Do not rest the seat post on top of the
pin on the seat knob.
