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.

UPRIGHT SEAT ADJUSTMENT
This Bike features a locking seat
adjustment pin to easily and safely
adjust the seat height. To adjust,
loosen the adjustment knob by
turning it two half turns counter-
clockwise. Pull out the knob to
unlock the post, and adjust the
post up or down to the desired
setting. Release the knob to lock in
place. Turn the knob clockwise
until tightened. Please check to be
sure seat post is locked in place
before each use.
SEAT POSITIONING
To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position the ball of
your foot on the center of the pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the
furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your
knees or shifting your weight from side to side.

SEMI-RECUMBENT SEAT ADJUSTMENT
While seated on the Bike, lift the
spring loaded seat lever on the
right side of the seat to make
adjustments. Slide the seat forward
or backward to desired location.
Release the spring loaded seat
lever and gently attempt to rock
forward and backward to assure it
is locked in place.
LUMBAR ADJUSTABLE SEAT R2200HRT
One of the principal reasons people do not exercise is because it is
uncomfortable for them. On the Semi-Recumbent Bike, the component that
has the largest impact on comfort is the seat. If your seat is comfortable,
you are more likely to finish your workouts and achieve your fitness goals.
With the Vision Fitness lumbar control system, you can adjust the lumbar
support specifically for your needs. This will allow a longer, more
comfortable workout and will help you achieve your goals sooner.
To adjust the lumbar support,
simply turn the knob located near the
bottom of the backrest on the seat:
to
increase the lumbar support,
turn the knob in a
clockwise
direction; to decrease support,
turn the knob in a
counter-
clockwise
direction.

strap, pull down the open end of
the strap. To loosen the strap, push
down on the top of the clip and
pull the strap up. Release the clip
to lock in place.
POWER SUPPLY
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
