WALL POWER TO TREADMILL
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter such
as the one illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Surge Protectors or Extension Cords should not be used. They do not
supply enough electricity to the treadmill and can damage it.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
It is important that you place your Treadmill in a comfortable and inviting
room. Your Treadmill is designed to use minimal floor space. Many
people will place their Treadmills facing the TV or a picture window. If at
all possible, avoid putting your Treadmill in an unfinished basement. To
make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Treadmill should be in
an attractive setting.
NOTE: If you place your Treadmill facing out from a wall, you should leave
3 feet between the wall and the Treadmill to ensure safe operation.
LEVELING
The Treadmill should be level for optimum use. Place the Treadmill where
you intend to use it. A carpenter’s level is recommended. If your Treadmill
is not level, the running belt may not track properly.
MOVING YOUR VISION FITNESS TREADMILL
Your VISION FITNESS Treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built
into the front legs. To move, firmly grasp the back end of the frame,
carefully lift and roll.
CAUTION: Our Treadmills are well-built and heavy, weighing up to
325 lbs.! Use care and additional help if necessary.

POWER

properly connected to a power
outlet, then turn on the Power

This will cut all power to the
