HOW TO USE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE

HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST

When the recumbent cycle is used, the backrest should be in the upright position. To adjust the backrest, first pull out the adjustment pin. Raise the backrest until it is nearly vertical, and then insert the adjustment pin into the indicated hole in the rounded brackets and the corresponding hole in the seat carriage.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

For effective exercise, the seat should be in the proper position. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in your knees when the pedals are in the farthest position. To adjust the seat, first turn the indicated adjustment knob counterclockwise two or three turns to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may scratch the rail). Next, pull the knob, slide the seat carriage to the desired position, and then release the knob. Move the seat carriage back and forth slightly until it locks into position. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE UPRIGHT

The upright can be adjusted to the height that is the most comfortable for you. To adjust the upright, first turn the indicated adjustment knob counterclockwise two or three turns to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may scratch the upright). Next, pull the knob, slide the upright to the desired height, and then release the knob. Move the upright

up and down slightly until it locks into position. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight. IMPORTANT: After you adjust the upright, make sure that your knees will not touch the handgrip pulse sensor when you pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

To adjust the pedal straps, first pull the ends of the straps off the tabs on the pedals. Adjust the straps to the desired positions, and then press the ends of the straps back onto the tabs.

HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS

The included hand weights can be used for a variety of strength training exercises with the weight bench (see page 19). In addition, the hand weights can be used with the recumbent cycle. As you pedal, press the hand weights over your head, raise the hand weights out to your sides until your hands are level with your shoulders, or do arm curls with the hand weights.
