Operations; Adjustments; Using The Machine - Schwinn AD6 Owner's Manual

What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
_ onsult 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 calcu-
lated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only.
• 3 times a week for 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
1. With a Pedal in the forward position, place the heel of your foot to the lowest part of it. Your
leg should be bent slightly at the knee.
2. 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.
3. Loosen and pull the Seat Post Adjustment Knob on the Seat Post. Adjust the seat to the
desired height.
_Do not lift the Seat post above the "STOP" mark on the Seat Post.
4. Release the Seat Post Adjustment Knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged and fully
tighten the adjustment knob.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.
1. Rotate the Pedals until one can be reached.
Be aware that the Pedals, Handlebars and Resistance Fan are connected and when any
of these parts move the others do as well.
2. Put the ball of each foot on the Pedals.
3. Fasten the strap over the shoe.
4. Repeat for the other foot.
Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps
can be left in position for subsequent workouts.
Using the Machine
Be aware that the Pedals, Handlebars and Resistance Fan are connected and when any of these parts move the

the Handlebars move.
