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. Once you have placed the
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 the Treadmill, lock the levelers
in place by tightening the nuts against the frame.
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
300 lbs.! Use care and additional help if necessary.

POWER
Ensure that your Treadmill is
properly connected to a power
outlet, then turn on the Power
switch, located at the front of the
main frame.
SAFETY KEY CLIP & TETHER
Your VISION FITNESS Treadmill
will not start unless the Safety Key
is inserted into the keyhole in the
center of the console case. You
should attach the clip end to your
clothing. If at any time you need
to stop the Treadmill quickly simply
pull the Safety Key off the console.
This will cut all power to the
Treadmill and it will come to a
complete stop. To resume your
workout, place the Safety Key
back in place. This will send you
back to the start-up mode.
