retailer, service provider or sales representative assemble and install your
Bike. If you have elected to assemble this product yourself, for your safety
please read and follow each of the steps in the included assembly

ALL MODELS
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 at
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.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
The straps are designed to fit your
individual foot size and should be
adjusted tight enough to keep your
feet from slipping. The pedals
include spring-loaded clips for
easy adjustment. To tighten the
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.

ALL MODELS
SEAT POST ADJUSTMENT E3800HRT
The E3800HRT uses a simple pull-
pin adjustment knob to adjust seat
height. To adjust, grab hold of the
seat and pull the seat post knob
out. Raise or lower the seat to its
desired position and release the
seat post knob. Push down on the
seat to make sure the pin is secure
in the rail.

ALL MODELS
SEAT RAIL ADJUSTMENT R2850HRT
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 CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
R2850HRT
To adjust the lumbar support, turn
the knob located on the right side
of the back support cushion. To
increase the lumbar support turn
the knob in a clockwise direction;
to decrease support turn the knob
in a counterclockwise direction.
TILTING SEAT BACK R2850HRT
While seated on the Bike, lift the
spring-loaded lever on the left side
of the seat beneath the handlebar.
Lean back on the back support
cushion to get to the desired
position. Release the lever to lock
in place.

ALL MODELS
CONTACT HEART RATE
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to monitor
your heart rate. To use, grasp both of the sensors with a comfortable grip
during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. Although
your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few
seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.

11
ALL MODELS
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the
underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior
to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with
several drops of water. These electrodes must remain wet to provide an
accurate signal. We advise using the chest strap against your skin, but it
also functions through a thin layer of wet clothing.
STRAP PLACEMENT
Center the transmitter strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum with the logo facing out. Adjust the elastic strap
so it is snug but comfortable enough for proper breathing.

ALL MODELS
SELF-POWERED FEATURES
On the R2850HRT and E3800HRT the user’s pedaling generates the
power to initialize and display information on the monitor. A minimum of
20 RPM (revolutions per minute) is required to start and maintain enough
power to keep the monitor functional. If the minimum RPM is not
maintained, the monitor will begin to shutdown in order to maintain the
batteries charge.
An optional adapter can be purchased to recharge the unit if necessary.
This is recommended if your Bike receives inconsistent use, or long time
periods between use. To purchase the optional adapter please contact
your retailer.
SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY
If the Bike has not been used for an extended period of time, the battery
may require recharging.
Symptoms of a low battery can include:
• A “LOW BATTERY” message will appear on the monitor
• Backlighting on the LCD display will be disabled

13
ALL MODELS
USING THE OPTIONAL ADAPTER
Connect the adapter into the socket at the front of the bike and plug the
opposite end into the appropriate power source (110/120v). There will
be an LED light on the power socket plate. The light will be RED while
charging and GREEN when it has finished charging. The best times to use
the power adapter are on initial installation and when the Bike is not used
for long periods of time.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
The battery should last a long time; however the type of use the Bike
receives will ultimately play a factor in battery life. Please contact your
authorized VISION FITNESS Dealer or Service Provider if you feel the
battery needs to be replaced.
CAUTION:
The battery stored inside your bike contains hazardous materials. It must be disposed of
according to Hazardous Waste Regulations. Please refer to
Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal.
