Seat Adjustments - Stairmaster HIIT Bike Owner's Manual

SEAT ADJUSTMENTS

Proper bike setup gives you a more comfortable ride and reduces your risk of injury.
To adjust the seat height:
Dismount the bike. Pull out on the seat height pop-pin to release it from its current preset location, while holding the
seat with one hand. Raise or lower the seat to the desired height, then gently release the pop-pin. Raise or lower the seat
slightly, if necessary, until the pop-pin engages a preset hole. The seat adjustment mechanism for the bike is designed to
ratchet upwards without the need to pull out on the pop-pin, if desired seat height is known then this is an easy method
to adjust the seat. Note that the ratcheting method only works when raising the seat height. In order to lower the seat
height, pulling out on the pop-pin is required.
SEAT HEIGHT
At the proper height, there should be a slight bend in your knee when you're at the bottom of a pedal stroke.
FORE/AFT POSITION
Once the proper height has been achieved, adjust the seat forward or back so that when the feet are in the 3 o'clock and
9 o'clock positions, the forward knee is directly over the pedal axle. Recheck the seat height again after making the fore/
aft adjustment, as moving the seat forward and backward can have the same effect as moving it higher or lower.
