Assembly － Seat/Pedal Proximity The seat position on C531R can be adjusted to suit people with different leg lengths The seat position can be altered in two ways: An automatic gas spring moves the seat within a set range; and the placement of the gas spring's connection to the frame changes the range of movement. The frame has front and back holes. Connecting the gas spring at the front hole makes the seat closer to the display. Connecting the gas spring at the rear connection point makes the seat farther from the display. Tall people would probably prefer a set up with the gas spring connected at the back hole.This is the position set at the factory. To adjust the proximity of the seat to the pedals, follow the instructions below.

Automatic Adjustment To use the automatic seat adjustment (gas spring activated), sit on the seat and hold up the handle marked A in the illustration. Push against the pedals and/or handle to move the seat back, or simply let the seat move forward to bring it close to the display. Once the seat moves to the desired position, release handle A. The seat will stay at that position.

Connection Point Adjustment Follow the instructions below to change t he g as sprin g con ne ctio n po int . Connecting the gas spring to the front hole will place the pedals closer to the display. First, prop up the back of the bike as shown.
