HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE

LIFECYCLE® RECUMBENT EXERCISE BIKE

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the product footprint (assembled dimensions). Allow a distance of 8 to 12 inches, or 21 to 30 centimeters, between the bike and other objects or surfaces on either side. Allow a distance of 3 feet, or 1 meter, from the front or rear of the bike to any other object or surface.

After placing the bike in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side.

Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must beA B leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely

on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A) with an open-end

9/16-inch wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle Recumbent Bike is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles,

hips and knees.

Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.

If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located on the right, front side of the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward as necessary to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat forward and backward a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so, or failing to insert the seat pin completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.

MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas essayer d'ajuster la selle pendant le pédalage. Tout ajustage en cours de fonctionnement ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la selle pourrait nuire à l'exercice ou entraîner des blessures.
