2. If your arm is too straight or you cannot reach
the crank handle, you will need to move the seat
forward. If your arm is bent too much, you will
need to move the seat backward.
3. To move the seat, sit and depress the foot
pedal locking pin at the base of the seat.
4. Slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position. When the seat is in the desired
position, release the foot pedal, repositioning the
locking pin in the desired, pre-set hole.
5. The height of the seat is also adjustable.
Standing, fully elevate the seat by pulling up
on the adjustment lever located underneath
6. Then, sitting in the seat, pull up again on the
lever until the seat lowers itself to the desired
position.
7. Try several seat locations to find the most
comfortable position.
Crank arm adjustment
The crank arms are adjustable to provide for
comfort, range of motion and exercise variety.
To adjust crank arm length, turn the locking pin
counter-clockwise and pull out (Fig. 2). Slide the
crank arm to the desired length and reposition
the locking pin in a pre-set hole. To change the
crank arms for simultaneous arm motion, repeat
this procedure, sliding the arm completely out
and sliding it back in the opposite position,
parallel with the other crank arm.
Standard Workout
Once you are in position and sitting comfortably,
place your feet on the foot rests and grasp crank
handles with palms forward. In the standard posi-
tion, the crank handles will be in independent
positions (Fig. 1). Begin turning the crank arms at
an easy pace until you feel secure and comfort-
able. To increase the air resistance and workload,
increase your crank speed.
Alternative workouts
You can add variety to your workout by altering
the position of the crank arms by turning the
cranks in a backwards motion, or by doing the exercise standing
FIG.4
up. For a simultaneous arm motion, reposition one crank arm to
be parallel with the other and do the exercise with both arms
moving in a uniform motion (Fig. 3). To exercise in a standing
position, or for wheelchair access (Fig. 4 & 5), release the foot
pedal locking pin and move the seat backward and completely
off of the seat track.
