Cycle Set-Up for Operation
The following items should be checked prior to operation of the Omnicycle
®
Elite:
•
The Omnicycle
®
Elite is intended for supervised use only
•
When positioning the cycle, always place on a level/non-slip surface
•
Route the power cord appropriately to prevent a trip hazard, entanglement with cranks, or damaged to other
adjacent equipment
•
Never use the cycle in wet, damp, or overly hot conditions
•
Always use the Omnicycle
®
“anti-tip straps” when using the system with wheelchair bound patients to
avoid the possibility of a tip-over or injury.
•
Never attempt to adjust, grasp, or stop moving parts while the system is in operation (i.e.: cranks, crank
length adjusters, footrest, calf length adjusters or armrests).
Setting up the Exercise Program
Determine whether upper or lower extremity exercise is indicated:
Each has a separate motor.
•
They cannot be used simultaneously.
•
Operation is selected on the main operational screen of the system (the display shows a foot, a pedal, or a
hand).
•
The system defaults to the “NEURO” mode of operation unless “ORTHO” or “CARDIO” is selected from
the available menu choices.
•
For added stability, the stand on your Omnicycle
®
Elite should
be extended. See extended stand in picture to the right.
•
Your Omnicycle
®
Elite is equipped with the anti-tip restraint
straps, ensure the hooks are correctly fixed to the wheelchair to
help prevent it from tipping. See strap placement in picture to
the right.

The Omnicycle
®
will automatically move each pedal into a
position where it is easy to put the patient’s feet in place.

Push the Assisted Entry button and wait until the footrest has
rotated to its lowest position, then place the foot in position and
apply Velcro

straps to fit

Secure the calf support belts as needed when the foot is in the
upper position.
