USER’S MANUAL – S/X-SERIES HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE The indoor cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the indoor cycle; you may choose to adjust the indoor cycle differently. PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals, with the balls of your feet directly above the spindles of the pedals (see the drawing below).
USER’S MANUAL – S/X-SERIES SADDLE HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in avoiding injury to the knees. Sit on the saddle and move the pedals until the crank arms are in horizontal position. Using your forward most leg as a marker, your kneecap should be directly above the center of the pedal so that a straight line is created between knee and center of the pedal (see the dotted line in image below).
USER’S MANUAL – S/X-SERIES HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly higher than the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal line A in the drawing below) and at a neutral fore/aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing below). If your knees touch the handlebars or if you experience back discomfort while pedalling for extended periods of time, the height of the handlebars can be adjusted. First, dismount the indoor cycle.
USER’S MANUAL – S/X-SERIES RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT The preferred level of difficulty in pedalling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the resistance knob. To increase the resistance, turn the resistance knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counter clockwise. IMPORTANT: To stop the flywheel (wheel), pull the emergency brake handle upward. The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
USER’S MANUAL – S/X-SERIES PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance must be performed on the indoor cycle for optimal performance and longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below.
