How to Adjust the Seat
A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle Exercise Bike is
not exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is
too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow movement through the
bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point
of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted lower, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle (G) located underneath the nose of the
seat. Hold both the handle and nose of the seat with one hand and use the other hand to grab the rear of the seat.
Slide the handle and seat down to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the
seat up and down a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if
necessary. If the seat needs to be adjusted higher, grab the seat and slide it up to the proper position. When adjusting
the seat to a higher position, the user does not have to lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle. Gently slide the seat up
to the proper position.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike or sitting on the seat. Doing so may result in an
uncomfortable workout or cause injury.
MISE EN GARDE: N'essayez pas de régler la place en cyclisme la bicyclette ou en vous assoyant sur la place. L'action
peut ainsi s'ensuivre dans une séance de mise en forme inconfortable ou provoquer la blessure.
How to Adjust the Pedal Straps
The bike pedal straps keep the user's shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fi t comfortably, but they
also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. Before working out, a
user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.
The safety straps on the foot pedals of the Lifecycle Exercise Bike can be adjusted to fi t a variety of shoe sizes. Use one
hand to push the strap latch (H) upward to loosen the ribbed strap (I). Use the other hand to pull the ribbed strap out
from underneath the strap latch. Rest the foot on the pedal (J). Wrap the ribbed strap over the foot to determine the
desired length. Push the strap latch upward and thread the ribbed strap through the strap latch to select the appropri-
ate slot. Let go of the strap latch to secure position.
