ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Proper seat height is important for efficient exercise. When you pedal the bike, there should be a slight bend in your knees when the pedals are at their lowest position. To adjust the seat height: 1. Turn the T-wingnut on the seat tube counterclockwise to loosen it. 2. Raise or lower the seat as desired. The seat post must be inserted a minimum of 2 inches. 3. Firmly retighten the T-wingnut. RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT The resistance against the pedals can be adjusted with the adjustment knob mounted on the handlebar. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the resistance. Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the resistance. HANDLEBAR OPERATION The handlebar is designed to be pushed forward and pulled back as you pedal to exercise the muscles of the arms, shoulders, chest and back. A hydraulic shock provides resistance against the handlebar. Moving the handlebar rapidly increases the resistance of the shock. Moving the handlebar slowly decreases the resistance. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE This exercise bike is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Make sure that all parts are kept tightened securely. Apply a few drops of light multi-purpose oil to the chain every three months. If the chain becomes loose, undo the nuts on the ends of the flywheel axle, pull the flywheel forward until the chain is tight and retighten the nuts. Store the bike in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Remove the batteries from the electronic console during extended periods of non-use. CONDITIONING GUIDELINES WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. The following guidelines will help you to plan and regulate your personal fitness program. Remember that adequate rest and good nutrition are also essential to the success of any fitness program. For more complete and detailed information consult your physician or obtain a book at your library. 5
