ASSEMBLY
It is recommended, when possible, that an authorized VISION FITNESS
retailer assemble your Bike. 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. If you have any questions regarding any
component or function of your Bike, contact your retailer.
MOVING
Your VISION FITNESS Bike has transport wheels included for ease of
mobility. To move your semi-recumbent Bike, firmly grasp the rear of the
seat rail or the rear of the frame assembly. Carefully lift and roll on the
transport wheels. To move your upright Bike, firmly grasp the handlebars,
carefully tip toward you, and roll on the transport wheels.
CAUTION: Our Bikes are well-built and heavy, weighing up to 150 pounds!
Use care and additional help if necessary.
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
Please follow the safety instructions to place your 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.

ALL BIKES
STABILIZING THE BIKE
After positioning your Bike in
its intended location, check its
stability by attempting to rock it
side to side. Rocking or wobbling
indicates that the 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 your Bike
is stable. Lock the adjustment by
tightening the wing nut against the
rear foot support.
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.

ALL BIKES
UPRIGHT SEAT ADJUSTMENT
The Upright Bikes feature 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.

To adjust the tilt angle of the seat,
rotate the lever down (counter-clock
wise) and lean back on the mesh
seat until the desired position is
achieved. When the position is set,
rotate the lever upward (clock wise)
until it is snug. The seat comes
equipped with a spring return
system to return the seat back to its
original position when the friction
lever is released and the user is not
leaning against the backrest.

the strap. To loosen the strap, push
down on the top of the clip and

ALL ELLIPTICALS
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
Please follow the safety instructions to place the Elliptical Trainer in the
location where it will best be used. It is important that you place your
Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Avoid putting your
Elliptical Trainer in an unfinished basement or undesirable setting. Exercise
adherence will be achieved only if you exercise in an attractive setting.
STABILIZING THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
After positioning the Elliptical Trainer
in its intended location, check its
stability by attempting to rock it side to
side. Excessive rocking or wobbling
indicates that your Elliptical Trainer
needs to be leveled. Your Elliptical
Trainer has levelers located under
the guide rails and under the side
stabilizers. 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 Elliptical Trainer
is stable. Lock the adjustment by
tightening the wing nut against the
stabilizer or guide rail.
POWER SUPPLY
Your Elliptical Trainer uses a wall mount external power supply. Use only
the power supply provided 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.

FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
It is important to always follow steps in the correct order when folding your
Elliptical Trainer.
STEP 1: On the left side of the machine, locate the arrow on the side cover
that points to the four o’clock position of the disk. Rotate the disk so that
the arrow is pointing to the disk axle (the point where the disk and pedal
arm connect.)

18
ALL ELLIPTICALS
STEP 2: Move to the right side of the machine. Simultaneously lift both the
pedal arm and the guide rail upon which the pedal arm rests to the vertical
position (image A). The locking device, which is mounted to the guide rail,
should now be aligned with the cylinder on the backside of the pedal arm.
Firmly push the guide rail so it locks in place (image B) with the pedal arm.
Check to be sure it is secure before proceeding.
If secure, move to the left side and lift the pedal arm and guide rail into
place and lock them into position.
