OMNICYCLE
®
ELITE USER MANUAL
Cycle Setup, Features, and Adjustments
Connecting the main power cord
Make sure that the plug is connected properly to the Omnicycle
®
Elite:
•
Use only the power cord that is delivered with the device.
•
The plug is designed to only fit one direction.
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly seated.
•
Once connected, the terminal display should turn on.
Footrests
The footrests are designed for exercise with or without shoes. The feet should be securely fixed in the footrests with
the Velcro
®
straps provided. To do so, pull the Velcro
®
strap over the top of the foot to the outer side of the footrest
and press it against the Velcro
®
strip. Before every exercising session check that the patient’s feet are correctly
positioned in the footrests and are securely held by the Velcro
®
straps.
Adjusting Crank Length, Adjustable Cranks
The Omnicycle
®
Elite has been fitted with adjustable cranks that
can be lengthened or shortened. Thus the degree of movement
can be adjusted individually to suit each patient’s mobility and
range of motion (ROM).
•
Switch the Omnicycle
®
Elite “OFF” by pressing the
“STOP” button
•
Remove the foot from the footrest
•
Undo the locking screw
•
Slide the footrest along the crank to the desired position
and firmly tighten the locking screw
•
Adjust the opposite crank in the same way
Make sure that both cranks are set to the same length (the cranks are marked with a scale). In certain cases, it may be
beneficial to have different crank lengths on each side (e.g. if the patient’s legs are different lengths or have different
degrees of mobility).
Never operate the lower extremity exerciser with the pedals removed. Serious injury to the user or
patient could result.
Calf Supports
The calf supports help to secure the legs in cases of paralysis. They are connected to the footrests by a pivoting joint
so as not to impair movement of the ankles.
•
Adjust the height of the calf supports so that the cups fit around the calves. Secure the legs with the Velcro
®
straps.
•
Make sure any loose fitting clothing is secured with the calf support Velcro
®
strap so it does not catch in
the spinning assemblies during lower extremity exercise.
•
When not using the calf support, loosen the two adjustment knobs on the calf support by turning counter
clockwise and pull the support up and rotate forward through the angled slot. Fold the support bar forward
and alongside the foot pedal bucket so it is out of the way of the patient during active exercise.
Patients who are secured to the Omnicycle
®
Elite by the Velcro
®
straps must always be supervised.
