HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

It is important to adjust the seat to an optimal height for pedaling on the 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 locking pin seat adjustment system, which makes it easy and safe to change the height of the seat quickly.

To raise the seat, first get off the bike. Then, simply pull the pull-pin on the back of the seat post, pull the seat upward to the desired height, and let it lock into place. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.

To lower the seat, get off the bike. Hold the seat, and pull the pull-pin on the back of the seat post to unlock the post from its present position. Let the seat slide down to the desired height, and release the pull-pin, which locks the post into place. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.

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 partiellement surélevée, maintenez cette dernière afin qu'elle ne vous tombe pas sur la main.

The bike’s seat post can be adjusted in one-inch increments within a 13-inch range. A total of 13 height settings are possible.
