HOW to Adjust the Pedal Straps

The bike pedal safety straps keep the user's shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably, but they also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. Before working out, the user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.

The straps can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. Each strap is held in place by a spring-loaded clip that is connected to the outer edge of each pedal. To tighten a strap, simply pull the loose end of the strap down. It automatically locks into place with each pull. To loosen a strap, press down on the top of the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap into place. Test the adjustment, and change if necessary.

STARTING UP THE BIKE

To power up the exercise bike, simply start pedaling. Once the unit’s power is on, the console display lights up, making it possi- ble to select a workout or to begin a QUICK START workout. See Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts, for more information.
