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.

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.

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

TROUBLESHOOTING
Our Elliptical Trainers are designed to be reliable and easy to
use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting
steps may reveal the cause.
PROBLEM: The console does not light up.
SOLUTION: Check to make sure the power switch located on
the backside of the console is turned on.
SOLUTION: Make sure the power adapter is plugged into the
base of the Elliptical Trainer.
SOLUTION: Make sure the wire harness is plugged into the back of
the console.
PROBLEM: You feel a thump or hitch in the stride motion.
SOLUTION: Check assembly and tightness of all hardware.
SOLUTION: Wipe off the roller wheels and tracks. They could
have taken on debris that is causing the thump.
SOLUTION: Check the bolts and the bracket under the
footplate. At times, these can be over-tightened which cause
friction to the pivoting footplate and may lead to a thump or
hitch.
NOTE: If the above steps fail to remedy the problem,
discontinue use, turn the power off and contact your retailer.
