Adjusting Seat Position (Pro Recumbent
Bike)
When sitting on the seat of your Pro Recumbent Bike, your knees should be almost fully extended when the pedals are at the lowest point of their rota- tion. To adjust the seat position:
Sit on the seat and grasp the seat adjustment handle (located under the seat). Lift up on the handle, and slide the seat forward or backward on the seat carriage to the closest available position that allows your knees to be slightly bent toward the lower pedal. Release the handle, ensuring that the spring retracts to its origi- nal position, and that the seat stays firmly in place.
Note your height adjustment (shown on the top of the seat rail either in front of or behind the seat) for future reference.
PEDAL STRAP OPERATION
The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold eadh foot comfortably but firm- ly on the pedal. Place your foot on the pedal, then adjust the pedal strap as necessary. Pull the free end of the strap down to tighten. Press the release button to loosen.
HEART RATE BAR OPERATION (PRO
RECUMBENT BIKE)
After adjusting the seat to a comfortable riding position, grasp the heart rate grip and press the red release button with your thumb. Pull the heart rate bar out to a comfortable position, and release the button. BE SURE to return the heart rate bar to its original position before dismounting the bike.
