A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the
Lifecycle Recumbent Bike is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed
on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irri-
tate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow
movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The
knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located on the right, front
side of the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward as necessary to the proper position and release
the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat forward and backward a small distance to
ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so, or failing
to insert the seat pin completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.
MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas essayer d'ajuster la selle pendant le pédalage. Tout
ajustage en cours de fonctionnement ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la
selle pourrait nuire à l'exercice ou entraîner des blessures.
