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 140 pounds! Use care and additional help if necessary.
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
6Please 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 THEBIKE
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.
