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

This Bike features 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
10 before each use.
SEMI-RECUMBENT SEAT ADJUSTMENT
While seated on your 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.

The R2250HRT and R2200HRT come equipped with a tilting seat back. Tilt adjustments are made with a rotating lever on the user’s right side, slightly behind the handlebar.
To adjust the tilt angle of the seat, rotate the lever down (counter-clock wise) and lean back on the seat cushion 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.
