What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes or cycling shoes with cleats. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the
machine's computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference
purposes only.
• 3 times a week for 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Mounting and Dismounting the Machine
Before mounting or dismounting the machine, be sure it is stabilized in the upright position with the Lean Lock Knob pulled up (locked position).
Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the machine.
Before mounting or dismounting the machine, be sure it is stabilized in the upright position with the Lean Lock Knob completely
pulled up (locked position). If the Lean Lock mechanism is not engaged, the bike may become unbalanced and fall, which can
cause injury or damage to the equipment.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.
When you adjust the seat, use the shoes that you plan to wear for riding.
1. Standing next to the bike, raise/lower the Seat so that it is level with the top of your hip bone.
2. Sit on the bike. With the hips level, place the ball of the foot on the Pedal at the bottom of the pedal
stroke (6 o'clock). The leg should be slightly bent at the knee (approx. 20 degrees).
3. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, you need to move the seat downward.
If your leg is bent too much, you need to move the seat upward.
Step off the machine before you adjust the seat.
4. Loosen the Seat Post Adjustment Handle on the Seat Post as you hold the upright post to prevent it
from dropping. Adjust the seat to the desired height.
Do not lift the Seat post above the "STOP" mark on the Seat Post.
5. Tighten the Seat Post Adjustment Handle to secure the Seat Post. Be sure that the handle is fully
tightened. Pull the handle out to disengage and turn so that it points down, then release.
6. While seated, rotate the Pedals so they are level (a 3 o'clock/9 o'clock position). In this position, be sure the front knee is aligned over or slightly
behind the pedal axle.
7. To move the seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen the Seat Slider Adjustment Handle. Slide the seat to the desired position and fully
tighten the handle. Pull the handle down to disengage and turn so that it points rearward, then release.
Note: If the handle cannot turn due to contact with another part, pull the handle, turn and push it back in to reposition it. Continue turning as needed.
