Resistance is controlled by the Resistance Lever, refer to
Figure 6. The Resistance Lever can be set to any gear from
1 to 24. The higher the gear number setting, the greater the
resistance.
Move the Resistance Lever to the most forward position to
engage the Emergency Brake, refer to Figure 6. This will stop
the motion of the Flywheel within one revolution. Wait until
the Handles and Footpads come to a complete stop before
dismounting.
The Handlebar Height Adjustment Knob allows for the vertical
adjustment of the Handlebar in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments.
To set the Handlebar height, refer to Figure 7 and follow the
instructions below:
1. Loosen the Adjustment Knob by turning it
counterclockwise 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
2. Pull the Knob outward and hold with one hand.
3. With your other hand, slide the Handlebar to the desired
position.
4. Release the Adjustment Knob. Ensure it locks into the
desired position hole.
5. Turn the Adjustment Knob clockwise until it is hand-tight
to secure the Handlebar.
To reduce the potential for muscle strain, set the Handlebar
so that the horizontal grip is generally at elbow height when
standing on the Footpads. Fine-tune handlebar height for comfort.

The Strider Elliptical is not designed with a freewheel, but a
xed gear system. The Handles, Footpads, and Crank Arms
are attached by linked components that cannot be disengaged.
When the Flywheel is pedaled into motion, the Footpads—
including the Handles—will also be in motion. For this reason,
always keep your feet on the Footpads and your hands on the
Handles/Handlebar while the Flywheel is in motion.
The Crank Arms can turn in either direction. It is recommended
that you turn the Crank Arms in the forward direction, as shown
by the arrow in Figure 8.
Pedaling at high speeds or in the reverse direction are considered
advanced techniques, and should only be performed when the
user has reached an advanced level or under supervision by a
person that has reached an advanced level.
