STABILIZING THE BIKE

After positioning the Bike in its intended location, check its stability by attempting to rock it side to side. Rocking or wobbling indicates that your Bike needs to be leveled. Determine which leveler is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the wing nut to the base of the leveler to allow the leveler to rotate. Now rotate the leveler to the left or right until the Bike is stable. Lock the adjustment by tightening the wing nut against the rear foot support.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

Please follow the safety instructions to place the Bike in the location where it will best be used. It is important that you place your Bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Avoid putting your Bike in an unfinished basement or undesirable setting. Exercise adherence will be achieved only if you exercise in an attractive setting.

SEMI-RECUMBENT SEAT ADJUSTMENT

While seated on the Bike, lift the spring loaded seat lever on the right side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat forward or backward to desired location. Release the spring loaded seat lever and gently attempt to rock forward and backward to assure it is locked in place.

LUMBAR ADJUSTABLE SEAT

R2200HRT

One of the principal reasons people do not exercise is because it is uncomfortable for them. On the Semi-Recumbent Bike, the component that has the largest impact on comfort is the seat. If your seat is comfortable, you are more likely to finish your workouts and achieve your fitness goals. With the Vision Fitness lumbar control system, you can adjust the lumbar support specifically for your needs. This will allow a longer, more comfortable workout and will help you achieve your goals sooner.

To adjust the lumbar support, simply turn the knob located near the bottom of the backrest on the seat: to

increase

the lumbar support,

turn the knob in a

clockwise

direction; to

decrease

support,

turn the knob in a

counter-

clockwise

direction.
