STABILIZING THE BIKE
After positioning the Bike in its
intended location, check its
stability by attempting to rock it
side to side. Rocking or wobbling
indicates that your Bike needs to
be leveled. Determine which
leveler is not resting completely on
the floor. Loosen the wing nut to
the base of the leveler to allow the
leveler to rotate. Now rotate the
leveler to the left or right until the
Bike is stable. Lock the adjustment
by tightening the wing nut against
the rear foot support.
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
Please follow the safety instructions to place the Bike in the location where
it will best be used. It is important that you place your Bike in a
comfortable and inviting room. Avoid putting your Bike in an unfinished
basement or undesirable setting. Exercise adherence will be achieved
only if you exercise in an attractive setting.
POWER SUPPLY ( MODEL R2100 OR E3100 )
Your Bike uses a wall mount external power supply. Use only the power
supply provided with your Bike. 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 Bike.
