HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT POST
For effective exercise, the seat should be at the proper
height. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in
your knees when the pedals are in the lowest position.
To adjust the height
of the seat post, first
loosen the adjust-
ment knob and pull it
outward. Then, move
the seat post upward
or downward, release
the adjustment knob
into an adjustment
hole in the seat post,
and firmly tighten
the adjustment knob. Make sure that the adjustment
knob is engaged in an adjustment hole.

THE HANDLEBAR
To adjust the hori-
zontal position of the
handlebar, loosen
the handle, move the
handlebar forward
or backward to the
desired position, and
then tighten the
handle.
Note: The handle functions like a ratchet. To loosen
the handle, turn the handle counterclockwise, pull the
handle outward, turn the handle clockwise, push the
handle inward, and then turn the handle counterclock-
wise again. Reverse this process to tighten the handle.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR POST

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To tighten the pedal straps (see the drawing on page
4), simply pull the ends of the pedal straps. To loosen
the pedal straps, press and hold the tabs on the buck-
les, adjust the pedal straps to the desired position, and
then release the tabs.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE
To increase the resis-
tance of the pedals,
turn the resistance
knob clockwise;
to decrease the
resistance, turn the
resistance knob
counterclockwise. To
stop the flywheel,
push the brake
lever downward.
The flywheel should
quickly come to a complete stop.
IMPORTANT: When the exercise bike is not in use,
tighten the resistance knob completely.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE BIKE
If the exercise bike rocks slightly on your floor during
use, turn one or both of the leveling feet on the front
or rear stabilizer (see the drawing on page 4) until the
rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE EXERCISE BIKE
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise bike regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild detergent. IMPORTANT: To
avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of
direct sunlight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, see the drawing in assembly step 13 on
page 9.
Rotate the flywheel until the magnet is aligned with
the reed switch. Slide the reed switch slightly toward
or away from the magnet. Then, rotate the flywheel
for a moment. Repeat these actions until the console
displays correct feedback.
