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 retailer. If you have any questions regarding
any part or function of your Elliptical Trainer, contact your retailer.
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 & X6200HRT/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.

ALL MODELS
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 X6200HRT & X6200HRT/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 retailer for
an original replacement.
Use of the wrong power supply may cause damage to your Elliptical
Trainer.

X6000DA X6000
FOOT POSITION (MODELS X6000 & 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 forward-most position of the foot pad
increases your step height; this will give you a more vertical stepping
motion. 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

X6200HRT X6200HRT/DA
FOOT POSITION
(MODELS X6200HRT & X6200HRT/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.
STEP POSITION
Moving your foot to the forward-most position of the foot pad
increases your step height; this will give you a more vertical stepping
motion. 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.

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.

ALL MODELS
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).

ALL MODELS
STEP 4: To unfold your Elliptical Trainer, push the recessed lock button found
on the underside of one Guide Rail (A). Carefully lower both the Pedal

the other Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to completely unfold your Elliptical
Trainer for use.
