ongratulations on choosing a VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer.
You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise
program! Your Elliptical Trainer is a tremendously effective tool for
achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your Elliptical
Trainer can improve the quality of your life in so many ways…
Here are just a few of the health benefits of aerobic exercise:
• Weight Loss
• A Healthier Heart
• Improved Muscle Tone
• Increased Daily Energy Levels
• Reduced Stress
• Help In Countering Anxiety and Depression
• An Improved Self Image
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop the exercise habit. Your
new Elliptical trainer will help you eliminate the obstacles that prevent you
from getting in your exercise time. Snow and rain and darkness won't
interfere with your workout when you have your Elliptical Trainer in the
comfort of your home. This Owner’s Guide provides you with basic
information on starting an exercise program. A more complete
knowledge of your new Elliptical Trainer will assist you in realizing your
goal of a healthy lifestyle.
Some kinds of service to your Elliptical Trainer should only be performed
by your VISION FITNESS dealer. Please contact your authorized VISION
FITNESS dealer should service be required. If a question or problem
arises which cannot be handled by your VISION FITNESS dealer, please

ASSEMBLY
If you have elected to assemble this product yourself, for your safety
please read and follow each of the steps in the enclosed assembly
instructions. It is recommended, when possible, that assembly be
performed by an authorized VISION FITNESS dealer. If you have any
questions regarding any part or function of your Elliptical Trainer, contact
your dealer.
MOVING YOUR VISION FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
Your Elliptical Trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front
foot. It is easy to move your Elliptical Trainer by rolling it on the front
transport wheels. Dual-Action Elliptical Trainers -- X6000DA &
X6200HRC/DA -- are more easily moved by rolling on their rear
transport wheels.
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
It is important that you place your Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and
inviting room. Your Elliptical Trainer is designed to use minimal floor
space. Many people will place their Elliptical Trainers facing the TV or a
picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Elliptical Trainer in
an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for
you, the Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.
Occasionally after long term use you will find a fine black dust below
your Elliptical Trainer. This is normal wear from the drive belt and DOES
NOT mean there is anything wrong with your Elliptical Trainer. This dust
can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this
dust from getting on your floor or carpet, place a rubber or vinyl mat
beneath your Elliptical Trainer.

initial setup
LEVELING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
If your Elliptical Trainer wobbles when
you have placed it where you intend
to use it, raise or lower the adjustable
levelers located in several places on
the underside of your Elliptical Trainer:
1) the rear ends of the pedal arm
guide rails,
2) the side stabilizers, and
3) the front foot near the front transport
wheels.
Once you have leveled the Elliptical
Trainer, lock the levelers in place by
tightening the winged lock nuts
against the underside of your Elliptical
Trainer.
POWER SUPPLY (MODELS X6200HRC & X6200HRC/DA)
Your Elliptical Trainer uses a wall-mount external power supply. Use only
the power supply supplied with your Elliptical Trainer. If you misplace this
power supply, please contact your authorized VISION FITNESS dealer
for an original replacement.
Use of the wrong power supply may cause damage to your Elliptical
Trainer.

FOOT POSITION (MODEL X6000DA ONLY)
Your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer has a large foot pad, offering you
a variety of foot positions.
When using your Elliptical Trainer you may notice that your heel
raises off the foot pad. This is a normal ‘heel toe plant’ walking or
running motion and you should not try to prevent this.
STEP POSITION
Moving your foot to the forwardmost position of the foot pad
increases your step height; your workout will feel similar to a step
machine workout. This position is particularly effective for developing
your quadricep muscles.
GLIDE POSITION
Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step
height and keeps the step pattern elliptical; your workout will feel more
like a ski glide, or smooth run or walk

foot position
FOOT POSITION
(MODELS X6200HRC & X6200HRC/DA)
You have a choice of two different foot
positions: STEP or GLIDE. To adjust, simply
pull up on the adjustment knob, turn
counter-clockwise, then move the toe
piece forward or back. To lock, turn knob
back clockwise.
We recommend starting with the foot toe
piece in the GLIDE or rearmost position. As
your conditioning improves, you can move
the foot toe piece to the STEP or forward-
most position.
STEP POSITION
Moving your foot to the forwardmost position of the foot pad
increases your step height; your workout will feel similar to a step
machine workout. This position is particularly effective for developing

FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
NOTE: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when
folding your Elliptical Trainer.
STEP 1: Lift up both flaps on the side cover casing.
STEP 2: On the side of each Guide Rail you will find a decal indicating
the correct position of the wheel center points. Move the Pedal Arms until
both wheels align with these indicator decals.

STEP 3: One Pedal Arm will now be lower than the other. Simultaneously
lift both the lowest Pedal Arm and the Guide Rail upon which it is resting
to the vertical position (A). The lock pin protruding from the Guide Rail
should now be aligned with the lock receiving mechanism on the
underside of the Pedal Arm. Firmly push the Guide Rail until it clicks and
locks into position (B). Check that it is secure before proceeding.
Repeat these steps with the other Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to
completely fold your Elliptical Trainer for compact storage.
NOTE: (See Illustration 4) On Dual-Action Elliptical trainers, the higher
Pedal Arm (C) will have the lower Dual-Action Handlebar behind the
Pedal Arm, and the Upper Dual-action Handlebar forward of the
Console Mast (D).

STEP 4: To unfold your Elliptical Trainer, push the recessed lock button

Elliptical Trainer for use.
