Once the C846 is assembled, it is ready to use. The easy-to-understand prompts
let the user select a course and specify how long he or she wants to work out.
Club owner’s and managers note: This section of the manual is written for
the user because it specifically explains how to work out on the cycle. Refer-
ences are made in second person.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
Before starting a workout, you should position the seat properly to avoid strain on
your knees. The C846 Upright and C846 Recumbent have different seat adjust-
ment instructions. Refer to the instructions below, for your particular unit.
• To check for proper seat position, straddle the C846. Sit on seat. Place your
feet on the pedals. Your extended leg should be slightly bent at the knee in a
10 to 15 degree angle.
C846 Upright Seat Adjustment
1. Dismount and hold the post underneath the seat with one hand while you pull
out the seat post adjustment pin with the other hand. See Diagram 13, #1.
2. Slide the seat post up or down into the desired position and then, release the
seat post adjustment pin. Before sitting on the cycle, press down firmly on
the seat to make sure that it does not slip and that it is secured.
Note: If you only plan to raise the seat, you can do so without pulling out the
seat post adjustment pin. See Diagram 13, #2.
