It is recommended, when possible, that an authorized VISION FITNESS
I N T RO
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

transport wheels. To move your Upright Bike, firmly grasp the handlebars,
carefully tip toward you, and roll on the transport wheels.

Use care and additional help if necessary.

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 at
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.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
The straps are designed to fit your
individual foot size and should
be adjusted tight enough to keep
your feet from slipping. The pedals
include spring-loaded clips for
easy adjustment. 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.

SEAT POSITIONING
To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position the ball of
I N T RO

knees or shifting your weight from side to side.

the knob in a clockwise direction;
to decrease support turn the knob
in a counterclockwise direction.

SELF-POWERED FEATURE
The R70 is a self-powered unit, requiring no external power source.
I N T RO
When a user pedals at a speed above 20 revolutions per minute (RPM),
the power is generated to allow the Bike to function properly. Because
of this self-generating feature, the console feedback will fade away when
you cease pedaling. The console does, however, use a 9-volt battery as
backup to save your feedback information for 30 seconds from the time
you stopped pedaling. If you resume pedaling within the 30 seconds, the
information will reappear. If the information does not appear within the
30 seconds, your battery may need to be plugged in or replaced.

CONTACT HEART RATE
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to monitor
your heart rate. To use, grasp both of the sensors with a comfortable grip
during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. Although
your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few
seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.
