CAUTION!:If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness or shortness of
breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician before
continuing.
•Do not wear clothing that might catch on any part of the Treadmill.
•Read this Owner’s Guide before operating this Treadmill.
LEVELING
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 back 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.

POWER
Ensure that your Treadmill is
properly connected to the Tr e a d m i l l

the power switch, located at the
front of the main frame. For safety,
remove the power cord when the
Treadmill is not in use.
EMERGENCY STOP
If at any time you need to stop the
Treadmill quickly, simply press the
Emergency Stop button. This will
instantly cut all power and the
Treadmill will come to a stop. To
resume your workout, you will

SAFETY MAGNET
Your VISION FITNESS Treadmill
will not start unless the Safety
Magnet is inserted into the circle in
the console overlay. You should
attach the clip end to your clothing.
If at any time you need to stop the
Treadmill quickly simply pull the
Safety Magnet off the console.
This will cut all power to the
