STABILIZING THE BIKE

After positioning the Bike in its intended location, check its stability by attempting to rock it side to side. Rocking or wobbling indicates that your Bike needs to be leveled. 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 Bike is stable. Lock the adjustment by tightening the wing nut against the rear foot support.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

Please follow the safety instructions to place the 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.

POWER SUPPLY

Your Bike uses a wall mount external power supply. Use only the power supply provided with your Bike. 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 Bike.

Pull out the knob to unlock the post, and adjust the post up or down to the desired setting. Release the knob to lock in place. Turn the knob clockwise until tightened. Please check to be sure seat post is locked in place before each use.

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.

ALL MODELS

To tighten the strap, pull down the open end of the strap. To loosen the strap, push down on the top of the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock in place.
