Getting Started; Adjusting The Seat - Octane Fitness xRide xR4 Operation Manual

GETTING STARTED

Welcome to a new breed of exercise equipment— xRide™ by Octane Fitness! You will soon be experiencing
a great ride as you challenge yourself with a variety of pre-programmed workouts managed by sophisticated
electronics that keep you interested and motivated. Getting started is easy; just step across the base and have a
seat. Adjust the seat, then follow the prompts to program your workout, and you are on your way!

Adjusting the Seat

The comfort and effectiveness of the workout on the xR4 begins with proper seat position. Both the height of the
seat and the tilt of the seat back on the xR4 seat are adjustable, ensuring that you can find just the right position
to suit your preference and deliver the best possible workout.
Note: When adjusting seat height or tilt, make sure you hear and feel the adjustment mechanism lock
into position.
Adjusting seat height
Adjust seat height to one of the 15 positions on the xR4 Series
using the handle located just under the left front edge of the seat.
While bracing yourself with your feet on the platform, lift up on
the handle and use your legs to move the seat into a comfortable
height. Place your feet on the pedals and pedal forward, stopping
when one pedal is at its lowest point. Check the position of your
leg on this pedal; your knee should be slightly bent. If your leg is
fully extended, or your knee is bent too much, readjust the seat
height until you have the proper leg extension.
Adjusting seat back tilt
Adjust the tilt of the seat back on the xR4 Series using the handle
located just under the right handgrip. You may choose one of five
positions, with position 1 being the most upright and position 5
being the most reclined. To adjust, lift up on the yellow handle to
disengage the tilt lock. Press back to recline or shift your weight
slightly forward to tilt the seat back up. Release the handle, then
shift your weight slightly until you hear the tilt lock pop into
position.
Note: Once you have adjusted the tilt of the seat back to a comfortable position, pedal forward and
recheck your leg extension. You may need to readjust the seat height to compensate for the
change in tilt.
Tip: Be sure to record the position numbers of both the seat height (1-15) and the seat back tilt (1-5)
so that you can quickly set the seat when you are ready to begin your next workout.
