Seat Adjustment
o
and The seat position may be
adjusted forward and back
by lifting up on the seat
release lever located directly
under the front and sides
of the seat. With both feet
on the foot pedals, push
one foot pedal all the way
forward to the end of the
pedal range limit. Lift the
seat release lever, and slide
the seat forward or back
until your extended leg has
a slight bend at the knee
(avoid over-extending your
legs and/or locking your
knees during exercise).
This position allows your
legs to be slightly bent
during exercise; avoid over-
extending and striking the
pedal bumper excessively.
Try the motion to verify
the position allows for a
comfortable exercising
motion. If not, slide the
seat forward or backward
one notch until it feels
comfortable. The seat
number position appears on
the console while the seat is
being adjusted.
Arm Adjustment
To adjust the upper arm
length, lift the green release
lever on the arm. Adjust the
upper arm length until your
elbow is slightly bent at the
extended point of the arm
stroke. (For many users,
the arm position number
matches their seat position
number.) Press the green
release lever down to lock
the upper arm.
CAUTION
!
Make sure the seat
and arm positions are
correctly set up before
exercising.
Do not over-extend
your step or reach
distance.
