POWER

Your recumbent bike is powered by a power supply. The power supply must be plugged into the power
jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot tube. 

LEVELING

The recumbent bike should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the recumbent bike
where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable leveler located under the rear portion of the
side cover. Once you have leveled the recumbent bike, lock the levelers in place by tightening the
wing nuts against the frame.
