HOW TO USE THE EXERCISE BIKE

HOW TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE SEAT
You can adjust the angle of the seat to the position that
is most comfortable. You can also slide the seat for-
ward or backward to increase your comfort or to adjust
the distance to the handlebar.
To adjust the seat, see the drawing in assembly step
8 on page 9. Loosen the nuts on the seat clamp a
few turns, and then tilt the seat upward or downward or
slide the seat forward or backward to the desired posi-
tion. Then, retighten the nuts.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HORIZONTAL POSITION OF
THE SEAT
To adjust the hori-
zontal position of
the seat, first loosen
the adjustment knob
and pull it down-
ward. Then, move
the seat forward or
backward, release
the adjustment knob
into an adjustment
hole in the seat carriage, and firmly tighten the adjust-
ment knob. Make sure that the adjustment knob is
engaged in an adjustment hole.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT POST
For effective exercise, the seat should 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 height
of the seat post, first
loosen the adjust-
ment knob and pull it
outward. Then, move
the seat post upward
or downward, release
the adjustment knob
