ASSEMBLY

VISION FITNESS recommends this treadmill be assembled and delivered by qualified personnel. If you have elected to assemble this product yourself, for your safety please read and follow each of the steps in the enclosed Assembly Guide. It is recommended, when possible, that assembly be performed by an authorized VISION FITNESS Retailer. If you have any questions regarding any part or function of your Treadmill, contact your Retailer.

FOLDING

To fold your Treadmill in the upright position first make sure the Elevation is set to 0; if it is not, lower the Elevation (if you do not set the Elevation to 0 the Treadmill will not fold and lock). Then simply lift the back end of the Treadmill with both hands and push it up. The Treadmill has a built-in locking mechanism that will automatically engage and click into place when you reach a vertical point.

UNFOLDING

To un-fold your Treadmill from the upright position simply lift the lever on the left side vertical rail. Guide the deck down with both hands until the Treadmill reaches the floor. Do not let go before the deck is resting on the floor.

CAUTION: Our Treadmills are well-

built and heavy, weighing up to 325 lbs.! Use care and additional help if necessary.

ALL MODELS

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

three to five 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 front frame of the Treadmill. 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 rear frame. To move, fold the Treadmill into the upright position, firmly grasp the frame by the handlebars, then carefully tilt and roll.

CAUTION: Our Treadmills are well-built and heavy, weighing up to

325 lbs.! Use care and additional help if necessary.
