Move the link arms up and down slightly to make sure that they are fully seated on the pedal bushings. CAUTION: Make sure that the link arms are fully seated on the pedal bushings. If the link arms are not on the pedal bushings, they may slip off during use, resulting in injury to the user.

Stationary Mode

To convert the handlebars to the stationary mode, the link arms must be disconnected from the pedals. Pull the link arms outward against the red washers until the link arms are free of the pedal bushings (see drawing 2 above). Be careful not to pinch your fin- gers. Next, lift the link arms off the pedals, and clip them onto the lock rods (see drawing 1 above).
