ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
For your safety and to ensure good treadmill performance,
the ground on this circuit must be non-looped. Please
refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Your Treadmill is
provided with a power cord with a plug listed below and
requires the listed outlet. Any alterations of this power
cord could void all warranties of this product.
120 NEMA 5-20R 120 NEMA 5-20R
North American power cord plugs shown. Depending on your country, the plug type may vary.
DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
All Vision units require the use of a 20 amp “dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit.
The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker
has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans,
sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from
it, and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet
that will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100
ft or less, then 12 gauge wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10
gauge wire must be used.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The treadmill is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Vision
limited warranty.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears
damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.
WARNING
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
120V UNITS
The T80 treadmill is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a non-looped grounding plug. Make sure that the 110-volt treadmill
is connected to an outlet, NEMA 5-20R, having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
(This product is rated more than 15 A and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 V ²) and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use
on a different type of electric circuit,the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel.

PROPER USAGE
Your treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and adjust the speed in small
increments to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. When not in use turn
the on/off switch to off and unplug the power cord. Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE schedule in this guide to
maintain optimal performance and prevent premature electronic failure. Keep your body and head facing forward. Do not
attempt to turn around or look backwards while the treadmill is running. Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain,
faint, dizzy or are short of breath.
Our treadmills are heavy; use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Do not attempt to move or
transport treadmill unless it is in the upright, folded position with the lock latch secured. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in injury.
LEVELING THE TREADMILL
Your treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed your treadmill where you
intend to use it, raise or lower one or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of
the treadmill frame. A carpenter’s level is recommended. If your treadmill is not level, the running
belt may not track properly. Once you have leveled your treadmill, lock the levelers in place by
tightening the nuts against the frame. LOCK

TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
For more information and/or how-to videos, visit our Customer Support section on our
website. Contact information is located on the back panel.
Running belt should NOT be moving during tensioning. Over-tightening
the running belt can cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt
must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt
to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, turn
the treadmill off and tension both the rear roller bolts using the supplied Allen
wrench, turning them ¼ turn to the right (clockwise) as shown. Turn the treadmill on
and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but never turn the roller bolts more than
¼ turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate
to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse
handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors
to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can
provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are
necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart
rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
Always stand still on side rails when measuring your heart rate. Checking your heart rate while in motion will cause
inaccurate readings. Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.
CAUTION

15
WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the treadmill and
displayed on the console. All but the CLASSIC console include a wireless chest transmitter.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap
just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight
and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may
receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
