Set Seat Height
Figure 30: To properly set the Seat height, start with
the seat in the lowest position. To lower the Seat
height, first loosen the Height Adjustment Knob by
turning it counter-clockwise.
Figure 31: Pull outward on the spring-loaded Height
Adjustment Knob while pushing the Seat Handle
downward. Release the Height Adjustment Knob into
the lowest hole setting.
Figure 32: Sit down on the Seat and place your toes
toward the top of the pedals, which for most people
is where you should position your feet during use.
Extend to FULL STRIDE with one leg.
Figure 33: If the knee on your extended leg is just
slightly bent, then you have found your ideal Seat
height setting.
If the knee is locked out, then you have found your
Height setting but will need to shift your foot position
on the pedal to allow for a slight bend in the knee
during use.
If the knee is bent too much (beyond a few degrees),
then you will need to raise the Seat height.
Figure 34: To raise the Seat height, first be sure the
Seat Height Adjustment Knob is loose by turning it
counter-clockwise. Now simply hold the Seat Handles
and gently push with your legs until the Height
Adjustment Knob locks into the next setting. Try each
height setting until you have found a position that
allows for a slight bend in the knee while your leg is
fully extended and your toes are toward the top of
the Pedals.
Figure 35: ALWAYS secure the Seat setting before
using the FreeStep by turning the Height Adjustment
Knob clockwise while in a hole setting.
ALWAYS adjust Seat height first before use to avoid injury to the knees. Proper feet
placement and seat height will ensure that your knees never travel over your toes when bent,
and that your leg does not lock out in full extension.
