unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you,
the Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.

Your Elliptical Trainer uses a wall-mount external power supply. Use only
the power supplied with your Elliptical Trainer. If you misplace this power
supply, please contact your authorized VISION FITNESS retailer for an
original replacement. Use of the wrong power supply may cause damage
to your Elliptical Trainer.

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.
