Seat adjustment
Proper seat adjustment ensures maximum exer-
cise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the
risk of injury.
1. Place one pedal in the forward position, and
center the ball of your foot over the center of
the the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent
at the knee (Fig. 1).
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot
touch the pedal, you will need to lower the
seat – If your leg is bent too much, you will
need to raise the seat.
3. Dismount the bike. Pull out the adjustment
knob on the seat tube and release the
locking pin (Fig. 2) Lower or raise the seat to
the desired height. Release the seat knob
engaging the locking pin. Be sure that the
pin is fully secured in a seat post hole.
Foot positioning/pedal strap adjustment
FIG.3
Place the ball of each foot on the pedals.
Rotate the pedals until one foot is within arm's reach.
Then, reach down and fasten the rubber strap over
your shoe and secure it to the pedal by slipping the nub
at the end of the pedal through one of the slots in the
strap. Pull down the strap until it snaps into place
(Fig. 3). Repeat for the other foot. Point your toes and
knees directly forward to ensure maximum pedal
efficiency.
Sitting workout
Once you are in position and sitting comfortably, slowly
begin pedaling, with your hands on the handlebars.
Pedal at an easy pace and low resistance until you fell
secure and comfortable.
Sitting workout

Failure to follow any of these safeguards may result in injury or serious health problems.
• Do not place fingers or any other objects into moving parts of the exercise equipment.
• Keep children and pets away from the Airdyne WindTrainer bike while machine is in use. A child's curiosity
may result in injury. Do not allow children to use the Airdyne WindTrainer bike. The pedal travel ranges are
designed and intended for adults, not children.
• Never turn pedal crank arms by hand. To avoid entanglement and possible injury, do not expose hands or
arms to the drive mechanism.
• Do not dismount the Airdyne WindTrainer bike until the pedals are at a complete STOP.
• Warn bystanders to keep a safe distance. Do not allow anyone to touch the bike while it is in motion.
• After exercising, turn the micro-resistance control clockwise to increase tension so the pedals will not
rotate freely and possibly hurt someone.
