If you have any questions regarding any component or function of your Bike, contact your retailer.

CAUTION:

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

Avoid putting your Bike in an unfinished basement or undesirable setting. Exercise adherence will be achieved only if you exercise in an attractive setting.

ALL BIKES

STABILIZING THE BIKE

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

SEAT POSITIONING

To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.

ALL BIKES

UPRIGHT SEAT ADJUSTMENT

The Upright Bikes feature a locking seat adjustment pin to easily and safely adjust the seat height. To adjust, loosen the adjustment knob by turning it two half turns counterclockwise. Pull out the knob to unlock the post, and adjust the post up or down to the desired setting. Release the knob to lock in place. Turn the knob clockwise until tightened. Please check to be sure seat post is locked in place before each use.

R2250

To adjust the tilt angle of the seat, rotate the lever down (counter-clock wise) and lean back on the mesh seat until the desired position is achieved. When the position is set, rotate the lever upward (clock wise) until it is snug. The seat comes equipped with a spring return system to return the seat back to its original position when the friction lever is released and the user is not leaning against the backrest.

ALL BIKES

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

Please follow the safety instructions to place the Elliptical Trainer in the location where it will best be used.

It is important to always follow steps in the correct order when folding your Elliptical Trainer.

STEP 1:

On the left side of the machine, locate the arrow on the side cover that points to the four o’clock position of the disk. Rotate the disk so that the arrow is pointing to the disk axle (the point where the disk and pedal arm connect.)

ALL ELLIPTICALS

STEP 2:

Move to the right side of the machine. Simultaneously lift both the pedal arm and the guide rail upon which the pedal arm rests to the vertical position (image A). The locking device, which is mounted to the guide rail, should now be aligned with the cylinder on the backside of the pedal arm. Firmly push the guide rail so it locks in place (image B) with the pedal arm. Check to be sure it is secure before proceeding.

If secure, move to the left side and lift the pedal arm and guide rail into place and lock them into position.
