ELITE USER MANUAL

•
Use the armrest pictured below for patients with limited mobility. Make sure the patient’s arms are
comfortably secured with the Velcro
®
assisted straps.
Never select the start button until it has been verified that the upper extremity icon is
selected. Serious injury to the user or patient could result when the lower extremity is selected if the
patient’s legs are in front of the pedals.
Never operate the lower extremity exerciser with the pedals removed. Serious injury to the
user or patient could result. The patient’s feet should be strapped into the pedals or wheelchair footrests at
all times. Make sure there is ample clearance between the handles and the patient’s knees.
CAUTION: When using the molded armrest, make sure that the patient’s thumb is strapped down so it
does not come in contact with the display terminal while exercising in Upper extremity mode.
Rotate the handles by hand (without the motor) through one full revolution with the patient’s arms in
position and the legs comfortably placed in the pedals (using the Velcro
®
assisted straps and calf support as
needed) or wheelchair footrests. Ensure that the cranks can move freely, and that movement of the arms is
not restricted before starting the exercise program.
Assisted Entry
The assisted entry function is used to move each pedals position to make it easier to properly secure the patient’s
feet in the footrests/calf support.
•
Press the pedal icon once and wait until the footrest has stopped moving.
•
Place the first foot in the footrest that is closest to the patient.
•
Press the button again and wait for the other footrest to move to the position closest to the patient.
•
Secure the first foot in the footrest at the top and then place the second foot closest to the patient.
•
Press the button again and wait for the footrests to reach the first position again. Now secure the second
foot.
