OPERATION HOW TO USE THE AIRDYNE® WINDTRAINER BIKE FIG.1 s Seat adjustment Proper seat adjustment ensures maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. 1. Place one pedal in the forward position, and center the ball of your foot over the center of the the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee (Fig. 1). 2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal, you will need to lower the seat - If your leg is bent too much, you will need to raise the seat. FIG.2 3. Dismount the bike. Pull out the adjustment knob on the seat tube and release the locking pin (Fig. 2) Lower or raise the seat to the desired height. Release the seat knob engaging the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully secured in a seat post hole. FIG.3 s Foot positioning/pedal strap adjustment Place the ball of each foot on the pedals. Rotate the pedals until one foot is within arm's reach. Then, reach down and fasten the rubber strap over your shoe and secure it to the pedal by slipping the nub at the end of the pedal through one of the slots in the strap. Pull down the strap until it snaps into place (Fig. 3). Repeat for the other foot. Point your toes and knees directly forward to ensure maximum pedal efficiency. s Sitting workout Once you are in position and sitting comfortably, slowly begin pedaling, with your hands on the handlebars. Pedal at an easy pace and low resistance until you fell secure and comfortable. FIG.4 s Sitting workout Once you are comfortable in the sitting position, try standing up out of the seat and continue pedaling (Fig. 4).
