After placing the bike in position, check the unit's stability by attempt-
ing to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indicates that the
unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely
on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A) with an open-end 15mm wrench,
and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify that the bike is
stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no
longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against
the stabilizer bar.
Note: Stabilize the bike each time the unit is relocated.

It is important to adjust the seat to an optimal height for pedaling on the
Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike. Pedaling with the seat too low can place
excessive strain on the knees and quadriceps muscles. Pedaling with the
seat too high can irritate the feet, ankles, hips, and knees. To determine
whether or not the seat requires adjustment, sit on it and place the balls of
the feet on the pedals. The knee should bend slightly when the pedal is at
the lowest point of its rotation. It should be possible to pedal without locking
the knees or shifting in the seat.
The bike features a vertical ratchet seat adjustment system, which makes
it easy and safe to change the height of the seat quickly. To raise the seat,
lift the body so that there is no weight on the seat. Then, hold the seat and
pull up the adjustment lever under the nose of the seat pad to unlock the
seat post. While holding the adjustment lever, pull up on the seat to the
desired height and release the adjustment lever to let it lock into place.Test
and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
To lower the seat, lift the body so that there is no weight on the seat. Hold the seat and pull up the adjustment lever under
the nose of the seat pad to unlock the seat post. Let the seat slide down to the desired height, and release the adjustment
lever to lock the seat post into place. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
The bike's seat post can be adjusted in 0.35-in. (0.9 cm) increments within a 13.46-in. (34.2 cm) total up/down range. A
total of 38 height settings are possible.
CAUTION: When using the height adjustment mechanism to change the height of a partially raised seat, hold the
seat to prevent it from falling on the hand.
MISE EN GARDE - Lorsque vous utilisez le mécanisme de réglage de la hauteur pour monter une selle déjà par-
tiellement surélevée, maintenez cette dernière afin qu'elle ne vous tombe pas sur la main.
