Where to locate your Exercise Bike
Locate your Exercise Bike in a pleasant area that gives you something to look at while your working
out, such as a window or television. Maintaining an exercise program in a poorly lit area is more
difficult than when located in a pleasant and active location.
Allow a distance of 4 feet between the bike and other objects or surfaces on either side.
Stabilizing Your Exercise Bike
After you have placed the bike where you will be using it, check the unit‘s stability by rocking it
back and forth in all directions. Any movement indicates that the bike needs to be leveled. First
determine which foot is not resting on the floor. Loosen the jam on that foot and adjust the foot
down until it touches the floor, then tighten the jam to keep the foot in place. Repeat as necessary
until the bike is completely stable.
On the R2 recumbent, once the unit is stable, you will also need to lower the center foot until it
touches the floor and tighten the hex nut to keep it in place.
Batteries
There are two AA Batteries included with your exercise bike. They are located inside the battery
cover located on top of the display console. To begin operations you will need to install the batteries
in the display console.
Seat Adjustment
Before working out, make sure that the seat is properly adjusted. Do this by sitting on the seat
and placing the balls of your feet on the pedals. Your knee should be slightly bent when the pedal
is at its furthest point of rotation relative to your body. You should be able to pedal without locking
your knee or shifting in the seat.
Upright Adjustment
Loosen the locking pin on the seat post by turning knob counter clockwise. Pull out on the
knob to allow the seat post to move up and down. Adjust the seat to the proper position and
then tighten the knob by turning it clockwise.
Recumbent
Pull up on the seat adjustment lever located on the right back corner of the seat. Slide the
seat forward and backward as required to give you knee a slight bend when the pedal is
furthest away from your body. Push down on the lever to lock it in place.
