2. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Biodex SRC is easy to adjust for patient comfort. The seat can be moved forward or back
and the pedal straps can be tightened or loosened for a comfortable and secure fit. The follow-
ing section explains how to adjust your bike for optimum patient comfort and positioning.
Seat Front-to-Back Adjustment: The seat can be moved forward or back over a range of 20" to
match user comfort requirements. Proper seat front-to-back positioning will allow the user to
pedal comfortably while maintaining the lordotic curve.
To adjust the seat front-to-back position:
• Pull out on the Seat Front-to-Back Release Handle. While holding the handle out, 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.
Pedal Foot Strap Adjustment: The Pedal Foot Strap can be adjusted to fit any foot or shoe.
To adjust the foot strap:
• Free the foot strap for adjustment by pulling the strap down and over the rubber catch.
To secure the strap, pull the desired hole over the rubber catch from the bottom up.
Seat Removal: The seat can be removed for wheelchair use.
• Loosen the rear seat stop.
• Pull out on the seat front-to-back release handle and slide the seat off the back of the trolly.
You can now easily position a wheelchair patient for exercise.
NOTE: Do not sit on seat when removed.
Rotating Seat (Clinical Pro only): To aid the user in getting on and off the Semi-Recumbent
Cycle Clinical Pro, an optional rotational seat can be turned left or right.
To rotate the seat:
• Pull forward on the Seat Rotation Handle 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 patient to sit down. Pull out on the
Seat Rotation Handle and rotate the seat until it engages in the forward locked position.
Adjustable Pedal Cranks (Clinical Pro only): The optional Adjustable Pedal Cranks can be set
to accommodate or define a knee arc to avoid a painful point in the user's range of motion, or to
protect reconstructed ligaments.
To adjust the pedal crank position:
• Loosen the Pedal Adjust Lever by turning it in a counterclockwise direction.
• Pull out on the Pedal Adjust Pull Pin and, while holding it out, slide the pedal to the
desired position.
• Release the Pedal Adjust Pull Pin and ensure that it locks into the appropriate pedal
shaft detente.
• Tighten the Pedal Adjust Lever by turning it in a clockwise direction. (Be sure to position the
lever so it will not interfere with user exercise. To do this, simply pull out on the lever handle
and turn it to the desired position.)
