Page: 8 / 48

The Biodex BioStep is easy to adjust for user comfort. The seat can be moved forward or back
and the arms adjust, too. The following section explains how to adjust your BioStep for opti-
mum user comfort and positioning.
Seat Front-to-Back Adjustment: The seat can be moved forward or back over a range of 15" to
match user comfort requirements. Proper seat front-to-back positioning will allow the user to
exercise comfortably. Proper seat positioning allows the leg to extend just short of full extension,
provided the patient has no range of motion limitations. In others words, the user should not
lock the knee.
To adjust the seat front-to-back position:
• Pull up on the Seat Front-to-Back Release Handle. While holding the handle up, slide the seat
either forward or back to the desired position. To lock the seat in position, release the handle
and make sure it engages in the appropriate hole. To ensure reproducible positioning, note the
seat position as per the Seat Front-to-Back Position Scale, located on the seat slide track.
Rotating Seat: To aid the user in getting on and off the BioStep, the rotational seat can be turned
left or right.
To rotate the seat:
• Lift on the Seat Rotation Handle, located under the rear of the seat, to release the seat. You
may now swivel the seat left or right until it engages in either position.
• With the seat locked in the desired position, instruct the user to sit down. Pull up on the Seat
Rotation Handle and rotate the seat until it engages in the forward locked position.
Adjustable Arms: Make this a total body cross-trainer.
To adjust the arm handles:
• Loosen the arm handle locking knobs, slide the arms out to the desired length, then tighten
the arm handle locking knobs to secure.
Leveling Guides: Located underneath the front hood of the unit, the leveling guides can be
used to adjust the BioStep to sit level on the floor - even if the floor is slightly uneven. To adjust,
use a 9/16" open-end wrench to raise or lower each guide as appropriate. The BioStep must be
level and stable before being used.
Battery Recharge Jack/AC Adapter (Refer to Figure 1, Insert): The Battery Recharge Jack/AC
Adapter is used to recharge the BioStep and BioStep Clinical Pro batteries, or for use at work
rates below 30 WATTs and 50 RPMs.
NOTE: It is recommended that you plug in the adapter overnight to keep the BioStep battery charged to
full capacity.
The Battery Recharge Jack/AC Adapter must be installed correctly before using, as follows. The
AC adapter is supplied.
1. Plug the AC adapter cord into the BioStep Battery Recharge Jack/AC Adapter, located at the
rear base of the BioStep. Slip the cord under the cord holder directly to the right of the jack.
2. Plug the AC adapter into a wall socket to charge the BioStep battery or to use the BioStep at
work rates below 30 WATTs and 50 RPMs.
