The recumbent stepper is intended to be used in aiding in the physical
rehabilitation process for patients with orthopedic and neurological
problems. Also used in sports medicine, wellness and general
conditioning programs.
Typical applications for this type of product are:
• Patient warm up before physical therapy session.
• Have the patient pedal to improve range of motion after
knee/hip/ankle/shoulder or wrist surgery.
• Allow patients to perform cardiovascular exercise.
Unique uses for the 7.5 S
• Self adjustable step length allows patients to pedal in smaller range of
knee motion, from 5 degrees to full range.
• Arms are linked to the foot pedals for ease of coordination. Arms can
also be used alone without stepping with feet.
• Symmetry program measures balance between left and right pedal
and/or arm stroke. Graphical bio-feedback display motivates patients
to maintain even power symmetry between left and right legs. If
measuring arms only the graph and power readings will be reversed.

Other features of the 7.5 S
• Work range up to 750 watts.
• Indexed seat positioning accommodates users from 147 cm to 200 cm
(4’ 10” to 6’ 7”)
• Heart rate monitoring using the hand grips or optional heart rate
chest-strap.
Heart rate measurements are not for medical use
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While
heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can provide a relative
estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when
accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a
cardiac rehab program, may benet from using an alternate heart rate
monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including
movement of the user, may aect the accuracy of your heart rate
reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid for
measuring heart rate trends in general.

the top nut of the levelers. Adjust the front 4 corner levelers by
hand as necessary to remove any wobble in the unit. Then tighten
all the top nuts against the bottom of the stabilizer tubes. Make
sure the bottom nut remains cinched against the leveling foot.
Connecting to A.C. power
• The 7.5 S uses a universal switching power supply. You can plug the
7.5 S power supply into any A.C. power source from 100 to 240 volts,
50 to 60 hz. The A.C. Input is located in the front of the unit.
