Unpacking and Assembling Your Theracycle
Tools needed:
• 5/16” allen wrench (provided)
• 3/16” allen wrench (provided)
• Metric 15mm pedal wrench (provided)
• Slotted head screwdriver
• 3/8” flat wrench (provided)
• Heavy-duty scissors or knife for cutting strapping and cable ties.
Decide where you will place the Theracycle. The unit is heavy and should not
be moved frequently. Plan which outlet you will use so the cord is not in the
way of people walking through the room or getting on and off the unit.
The Theracycle should never be tipped on its side.
1. Carefully cut the strapping and lift the lid off the shipping box. Put the lid
aside for final storage
2. Remove the cardboard parts tray. The parts included in this tray are:
• 3/16” Hex wrench, 6” long with a T handle
• 5/16” and 3/16” allen wrench
• 3/8” wrench
• Metric 15mm pedal wrench
• Computer display mounted to the display arm, with cables inserted
• Safety magnet attached to a lanyard
• Set of pedals (left and right)
• Handlebar assembly
• Touch-up paint
• Replacement fuses
• One quart of gear oil (85w/140)
• Funnel
3. Cut the cable ties and put all parts aside. Set the tray with the box lid for
final storage.
4. Place the sealed plastic bottle of oil in pan of warm water to make it easier
to pour when you get to step #8.
5. Lift off the two sides of the carton and fold flat. Put aside for final storage.
6. Remove the seat by cutting the plastic cable tie.
7. Lift the Theracycle out of the bottom tray carton by using the legs of the
frame. This will require two people. NEVER LIFT WITH THE MOTOR!
Doing so will take the unit out of alignment immediately.
8. Add the gear oil to the gearbox:
• Remove the 3/4” inch plastic cap on the top shroud, exposing the oil
filler plug.
• Using a flat head screwdriver, loosen the filler plug.
