WARNING! Before beginning any
exercise program, consult your
physician. Read all instructions before
using. Be aware that incorrect or
extensive training may result in serious
health injuries. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for personal
injury or property damage sustained
by or through the use of this product.
Always adjust the power
BIKE
to the
optimal position for your personal
needs.
Saddle height adjustment
Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal until the left pedal is in the
lowest position. Your knees should be slightly bent without
dropping the hips. To avoid hyper-extending your knees, make
sure that your legs are not completely straight.
If the saddle is not at the correct height for your needs, it should
be adjusted. The saddle height adjustment knob is located at the
back of the column which holds
the saddle shaft. Loosen the knob
until the saddle moves up or down.
Position the saddle at the optimum
height for your requirements and
tighten the knob so that the shaft
stays firmly in place. Remount the
power
BIKE
™ and check that the
saddle is in the correct position
for your needs, based on the
guidance above.
Saddle horizontal adjustment
Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in
avoiding injury to the knees. Sit on the saddle and move the
pedals until the crank arms are in horizontal position. Using your
forward most leg as a marker, your kneecap should be directly
above the center of the pedal
so that a straight line is created
between knee and center of
the pedal (see the dotted line in
image to the right).
To adjust the horizontal position
of the saddle, first dismount the
power
BIKE
. Next, loosen the
rear adjustment knob which is
positioned on the saddle shaft,
just below the saddle itself and
slide the saddle forwards or
backwards as required, and then
retighten the knob.
The power
BIKE
™ can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below
describe the approach to adjusting the power
BIKE
to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning;
you may choose to adjust the power
BIKE
differently.
