2.3: How to Stabilize the Recumbent Cycle

Read the entire manual before setting up the cycle. After following all Safety Instructions, move the cycle to the location where it will be used. Allow a clearance of 2 ft. (0.6 m) in the directions the cycle is accessed from and 3 ft. (1 m) between the front or rear of the cycle or any other objects.

Free area

After placing the unit in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut with an open end 17 mm wrench and rotate the stabilizing foot to lower it. Verify that the cycle is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizing bar.

Item Description Qty.
1 Jam Nut 2
2 Stabilizing Leg 2
Important: Only the back of the base frame and stabilizing legs rest on the floor. The entire length of the frame should not be in contact with the floor. This tripod arrangement makes the bike stable, as long as the stabilizing legs are adjusted properly.

    Note: An optimum position allows 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.
  2. Lift the seat adjustment bar located underneath the seat.
    Caution: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so may cause injury or result in an uncomfortable workout.
