2.5: How to Adjust Seat

A properly adjusted seat is important in any bike-oriented exercise activity. 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 irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
  1. Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals.
    An optimal position allows movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees, shifting in the seat or forcefully extending the hips. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
  2. To adjust seat height, loosen seat adjustment knob, hold seat, then raise or lower.
    Item Description Qty
    1 Seat 1
    2 Seat adjustment knob 1

    2 Horizontal adjust lever (shown in locked position) 1
    3 Horizontal seat rail 1

    The knee of your forward-facing leg should be positioned directly above the center of the pedal. If this does not correspond to your bike‘s setting, align the horizontal saddle adjustment to the front or rear in order to attain this seat position.
  6. Lock horizontal adjust lever by rotating clockwise.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.

Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.
