SEAT POSITIONING
To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal. Your knee should bend
slightly at the furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not sit on the seat while adjusting its position.
UPRIGHT BIKES - SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Upright Bikes feature a locking seat adjustment knob to easily and safely adjust the seat height. To adjust, get off the bike seat and
loosen the adjustment knob by turning it two half turns counter-clockwise. Pull out the knob to unlock the post, and adjust the post
up or down to the desired setting. Release the knob to lock in place. Turn the knob clockwise until tightened. Please check to be sure
seat post is locked in place before each use.
RECUMBENT BIKES - SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Turn the handle up into its middle position making the handle feel loose. Then, slide the seat to a position that puts you in
a comfortable pedaling range (one that keeps a slight bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position).
Lock the mechanism by rotating it down until handle tightens.
RECUMBENT BIKES - MESH SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT
Some Recumbent Bikes are equipped with a tilting mesh seat back. Tilt adjustments are made with a rotating lever on the user's right
side, located slightly behind the handlebar. Not all mesh seat backs have an adjustment lever so check the assembly section in the
OWNER'S MANUAL.
To adjust the tilt angle of the seat back, rotate the lever down (counter-clock wise) and lean back on the mesh seat back until the
desired position is achieved. When the position is set, rotate the lever upward (clock wise) until it is snug. The seat back comes
equipped with a spring return system to return the seat back to its original position when the adjustment lever is released and the
user is not leaning against the seat back.
