The cycle tune-up must be performed at initial installation of the VISION V-Series for optimal performance and
longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below. If the VISION V-Series is not installed and tuned as
described, components may wear excessively and the VISION V-Series may become damaged. If you have
questions about the installation, please contact Vision Fitness.
Note: Some maintenance procedures require WD-40 (rellable spray bottle recommended) or Brunox spray
lubricant, and White Lithium grease.
1. Make sure that the VISION V-Series is level. If the VISION V-Series rocks on the
oor, turn the leveling feet underneath the front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
2. Verify Emergency brake function to assure that emergency brake functions correctly.
3. Brake pad calibration: Turn resistance knob counterclockwise as far as possible (minimum bra-
king effect), verify that there is a slight separation of the brake pad from ywheel. Brake pad
should barely touch the ywheel when resistance knob is turned counter-clockwise as far as it
can go.
4. Apply WD40 or Brunox spray lubricant to the brake pad. Make sure brake pad is thoroughly
soaked from end to end with lubricant spray. Then, wipe the excess off from the ywheel.
* Best Practice: Use a rellable spray bottle lled with non-aerosol WD-40 purchased by the
gallon (3.7 L) at the local hardware store.
5. Apply Lithium grease to the threads on the lower end of the brake rod. First, turn the resistance
knob clockwise until it stops. Apply a small amount of white lithium grease to the threads on the
brake rod above the two lock nuts. Then, turn the resistance knob counter-clockwise until it stops.
6. Apply Lithium grease on the metal threads of all the adjustment knobs.
7. Check four (4) Allen nuts on RS pulley for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-
242 and retighten.
8. Check R and L crank arm Allen bolts for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242
and retighten.
9. Verify belt tension. Check if belt drive is rmly tightened and does not slip while riding under
a resisted load. In case that the belt slips, proceed using the adjustment technique as described
on page (18). Please note that a belt drive gear never shows slack. During adjustment do not
apply too much tension.
10. Wipe down bike frame with cloth moistened with WD-40
11. Some parts of the VISION V-Series may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms,
check all exposed screws, bolts, and nuts, and make sure that they are properly tightened.
Customer Service
1. Provide basic maintenance instructions to client and direct them to the detailed maintenance
instructions provided in this manual.
2. Sign-off sheet provided to client to conrm explanation of maintenance procedures/manual and
to verify the condition of bikes.

HOW TO ADJUST THE VISION V-Series
The Vision V-Series can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness.
The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the cycle to ensure optimal
user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust this cycle differently.
Pedal strap adjustment:
Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals, with the balls of your feet directly
above the spindles of the pedals (see the drawing below). Adjust the pedal straps so the
toe clips (cages) are snug but not too tight.
Saddle height adjustment:
Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal until the right pedal is in the lowest position. Your knees
should be slightly bent without dropping the hips. To avoid hyper extending the knees,
make sure that your legs are not completely straight.
Please do not adjust
handlebar height beyond
the STOP mark on the stem
and ensure the pop pin is
fully engaged and securely
tightened (see page 8).
Please do not adjust saddle
height beyond the STOP
mark on the stem
and ensure the pop pin is
fully engaged and securely
tightened (see page 8).

Page 11
Saddle horizontal adjustment:
Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in avoiding injury to the knees.
Sit on the saddle and move the pedals until the crank arms are in a horizontal position.
Using your forward most leg as a marker, your knee cap should be directly above
the center of the pedal so that a straight line is created between the knee and center
of the pedal (see the dotted line in image below). To adjust the horizontal position of
the saddle, rst dismount the indoor cycle; next, loosen the rear adjustment knob,
slide the saddle forward or backward as required, and then retighten the knob.
HOW TO ADJUST THE VISION V-Series

Page 12
Next the horizontal position of the handlebar should be adjusted. If the handlebar is too clo-
se to the saddle, your breathing may feel restricted; if the handlebar is too far from the saddle
you may experience back discomfort. To adjust the horizontal position of the handlebar, rst
dismount the Vision V-Series indoor cycle. Check for proper handlebar position by placing
your elbow so it’s touching the front tip of the saddle at a 90 degree angle and checking that
the ngertip of your middle nger is touching the handlebar at the mid-point, and then tighten
the lever handle.
The handlebar offers a variety of hand positions for personal preferences. Changing your
hand position can change the angle of your back, neck and arms. To minimize the stress on
your muscles during your workouts, change your hand position frequently.

B
Handlebar adjustment:
Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly higher than
the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal line A in the drawing below) and at a neutral fore/
aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing below). If your knees touch the hand-
lebars or if you experience back discomfort while pedaling for extended periods of time, the
height of the handlebars can be adjusted. First, dismount the Vision V-Series indoor cycle;
next, turn the front adjustment knob counter clockwise, slide the handlebar post up or down,
and then retighten the adjustment knob.

Resistance Knob (red)
Emergency brake
levelling feet
Resistance adjustment:
The preferred level of difculty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in ne increments
by use of the resistance knob. To increase the resistance, turn the resistance knob
clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counter clockwise.
IMPORTANT: To stop the ywheel while pedaling, push down the red resistance knob
in the center of the frame. The ywheel should quickly come to a complete stop. Please
make sure your shoes are xed into the toe clip.
The Vision V-Series indoor cycle does not have a free moving ywheel; the
pedals will continue to move together with the ywheel until the ywheel
stops. Reducing speed in a controlled manner is required. To stop the
ywheel immediately, push down the red resistance knob. Always pedal
in a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your
abilities.
If the Vision V-Series indoor cycle rocks
on the oor after being set down, turn the
leveling feet (see diagram) underneath the
front or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion
is eliminated. Important: Please do not
unscrew the leveling feet more than ½ inch.
How to move the VISION V-series:
Due to the weight of the Vision V-Series indoor cycle, it is recommended that two people
move it. While one person lifts the back of the cycle, the second person rmly holds the
handlebars and tips the cycle down until it rolls on the wheels. Carefully move the indoor
cycle to the desired location and lower it. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use
extreme caution while moving the indoor cycle. Do not attempt to move it over
uneven surfaces and make sure a safety space of a minimum of 20 inches to the
nearest equipment is achieved.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance must be performed on the Vision V-Series indoor cycle for
optimal performance and longevity. Please read and follow all the instructions
below. If the indoor cycle is not maintained as described, components may wear
excessively and the indoor cycle may become damaged. Improper maintenance
will void the warranty terms. If you have questions about maintenance, contact
your local Vision Fitness dealer or go to www.visiontness.com.
Note: Many maintenance procedures require lubricant spray. Manufacturer
recommends WD40, Brunox or any other solvent free lubricant.
Daily maintenance:
1. Make sure the Vision V-Series is level. If the Vision V-Series indoor cycle rocks
on your oor, turn the leveling feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer until the
rocking motion is eliminated.
2. After each user nishes exercising, the cycle should be disinfected and cleaned to
maintain a hygienic environment. First apply a disinfectant spray to the handlebars
and the saddle. Using a lint free cloth, dry the handlebars and the saddle. Next,
apply a small amount of disinfectant to a lint-free cloth and clean the adjustment
knobs and the lock handles. Avoid using strong detergents on the Vision V-Series
indoor cycle frame.
Weekly maintenance:
1. Apply a small amount of the lubrication spray to a lint-free cloth and thoroughly clean
the frame, the handlebar slider, seat slider, the ywheel and the plastic parts of the
Vision V-Series indoor cycle.
2. For optimal performance of the resistance
system and to minimize wear on the brake
pad, WD40 or Brunox lubricant spray should
be applied directly to the brake pad. If fuzz or
lint appears on the brake pad, the brake pad
has become too dry and lubricant spray should
be applied more frequently. Make sure brake
pad is thoroughly soaked from end to end with
lubricant spray, and then wipe off excess.

1. The Vision V-Series indoor cycle should not
be used if the emergency brake system is not
working properly. While sitting on the saddle
and pedaling, test the brake by pushing the
brake downward. The ywheel should come
to a quick and complete stop.
2. To maintain easy adjustability of the saddle
post, the post should be cleaned and
lubricated. Turn the rear adjustment knob
counter clockwise and slide the saddle post
out of the frame. Apply a small amount of
lubricant spray to a lint-free cloth, and clean
the saddle post (A). Next, apply a small
amount of WD40 or Brunox lubricant spray
inside the rear frame sleeve. Then reinsert
the saddle post into the frame and adjust it
to the desired height. Next, loosen the rear
lock handle and slide the saddle carriage as
far backward as possible (B). Apply a small
amount of WD40 or Brunox lubricant spray
to a lint free cloth, and clean the top of the
saddle slide. Finally adjust the saddle to the
desired position.

3. To maintain easy adjustability of the handlebar
post, the handlebar post should be cleaned
and lubricated. First, turn the front adjustment
knob counter clockwise and slide the handlebar
post out of the frame. Apply a small amount of
lubricant spray to a lint-free cloth and clean the
handlebar post (A). Next, apply a small amount
of WD40 or Brunox lubricant spray inside of the
front frame sleeve.
Then reinsert the handlebar post into the frame
and adjust it to the desired height. Next, loosen
the front lock handle and slide the handlebar
carriage as far backward as possible. Apply
a small amount of lubricant spray to a lint-free
cloth, and clean the surface of the handlebar
slide. Then slide the handlebar carriage as far
forward as possible and clean the top of the
handlebar slide. Finally, adjust the handlebar to
the desired position.
Monthly maintenance:
1. To maintain the smooth function of the
adjustment knobs controlling the handlebar
and saddle, the metal threads on the
adjustment knobs (B) must be lubricated. Use
of white lithium grease is recommended.

2. To maintain the easy adjustability of the
resistance system, the threads on the lower
end of the brake rod should be lubricated.
First, turn the resistance knob clockwise until it
stops. Next, look under the right or left side of
the frame and locate the brake rod, which has
two lock nuts on its lower end. Apply a small
amount of synthetic grease (white lithium
grease) to the threads on the brake rod above
the two lock nuts. Then, turn the resistance
knob counter-clockwise until it stops.
3. Some parts of the Vision V-Series indoor cycle
may become loose as result of repeated use.
Check pedals and toe straps to make sure
they are properly tightened. Next, check all
exposed screws, bolts, and nuts and make
sure that they are properly tightened. Finally
check the saddle to make sure that it is not
loose or damaged. Please use locktite on
loose crank arms and pulley screws.
4. The brake pad will become worn as a result
of repeated use. The Vision V-Series indoor
cycle should not be used if the emergency
brake system is not working properly. Should
you feel that the resistance system’s functions
are decient, it is essential to ne-tune the
resistance system before the bike is used
again. Please check the setting of the brake
system as follows: rst turn the resistance
knob on the brake system as far as it will go to
the left (minimum braking effect). If the setting
is correct, the brake pads should be ush
with the ywheel and barely touching so that
it’s possible to cycle with a hardly noticeable
amount of resistance. The brake pad can
be adjusted using a 10 mm wrench. Next,
check the brake pad for signs of wear. If the
brake pad does show signs of excessive wear,
thoroughly soak the brake pad with lubricant
spray and then wipe off the excess.

5. Belt drive
Important: A loose belt as well as an over tightened
belt may cause injury of the rider or damage to the
system. Checking belt tension: To check for
a loose belt, sit on the saddle, place your feet on
the pedals, move the pedals until the crank arms
are horizontal. Next, push down the emergency
brake handle and hold it. Then, stand on the pedals
and rock forward and backward. There should be
no play or slip in the drive train. If there is slip or
play in the drive train, this indicates that the belt is
too loose. Correct a slipping belt drive train: To
adjust the belt, pull of the right and left maintenance
covers (A). Loosen the axle nut (B) on both sides of
the ywheel axel by two full turns. Loosen the inner
adjustment nut (D) facing the ywheel axle on each
side. Next, loosen the lock nut (C).
Then, turn both (right and left sides) of the inner
adjustment nuts (D) on the inside of the ywheel
bracket ¼ of a turn at a time (upward on the right;
downward on the left) until the belt is properly
adjusted. Make sure to turn both adjustment nuts
exactly the same amount to avoid misalignment of
the ywheel. Re-check if the amount of play or slip
in the drive train has disappeared.
Finally retighten the two outer lock nuts (C) to secure
the new adjustment and retighten the two axle nuts
(B). At last reattach the maintenance covers (A).
Check if belt drive is rmly tighten and does not slip
while riding under a resisted load. In case the belt
slips, proceed using the same technique described
above. Please note that a belt drive gear never
shows slack. In case of adjustment do not apply to
much tension.
The manufacturer recommends using an ultrasonic
voltage meter adhering to a natural frequency of the
belt of 3200 Hz ± 150 Hz. Ball bearing damage due
to incorrect belt tension is excluded from warranty.
