How to Adjust Seat
A properly adjusted seat is important in any bike-oriented exercise activity. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will
be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles. If the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet,
ankles, hips and knees.
Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position allows movement through the
bottom of the stroke without locking the knees, shifting in the seat or forcefully extending the hips. The knees should
have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted lower, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located underneath the nose of the seat.
Hold both the handle and nose of the seat with one hand and use the other hand to grab the rear of the seat. Slide the
handle and seat down to the proper position. Release the handle to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat up
and down a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance and readjust as necessary.
If the seat needs to be adjusted higher, grab the seat and slide it up to the proper position. When adjusting the seat to
a higher position, the user does not have to lift the adjusting handle.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike or sitting on the seat. Doing so may cause
injury or result in an uncomfortable workout.
How to Adjust Pedal Straps
The bike pedal straps keep the user's shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably but
tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. A user should test and adjust the
tightness of the straps before starting a workout.
Use one hand to push the strap latch upward to loosen the ribbed strap. Use the other hand to pull the ribbed strap
out from underneath the strap latch. Rest the foot on the pedal. Wrap the ribbed strap over the foot to determine
the desired length. Push the strap latch upward and thread the ribbed strap through the strap latch to select the
appropriate slot. Let go of the strap latch to secure position.
