HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
It is important to adjust the seat to an optimal height for pedaling on t he Lifecycle Exercise Bike. Pedaling with the
seat too low can place excessive strain on the knees and quadriceps mus cles. Pedaling with the seat too high can
irritate the feet, ankles, hips, and knees. To determine whether or not the se at requires adjustment, sit on it and
place the balls of the feet on the pedals. The knee should bend slight ly when the pedal is at the lowest point of its
rotation. It should be possible to pedal without locking the knees or sh ifting 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 bac k of the seat post, pull the seat
upward to the desired height, and let it lock into place. Test and re-adj ust the seat height as necessary.
To lower the seat, get off the bike. Hold the seat, and pull the pull-pin on th e back of the seat post to unlock the
post from its present position. Let the seat slide down to the desired he ight, 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-inc h range. A total of 13 height settings are
possible.
