WALL POWER TO TREADMILL

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter such as the one illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Surge Protectors or Extension Cords should not be used. They do not supply enough electricity to the treadmill and can damage it.

OTHER SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR VISION FITNESS TREADMILL

CAUTION!: If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness or shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician before continuing.

Do not wear clothing that might catch on any part of the Treadmill.

Read this Owner’s Guide before operating this Treadmill.

CLEANING

Clean with soap and slightly damp cloth only; never use solvents.

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

325 lbs.! Use

care and additional help if necessary.

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 7 not track properly. Once you have leveled the Treadmill, lock the levelers

in place by tightening the nuts against the 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.

FEEDBACK DISPLAY

PROFILE MATRIX WINDOW 10 X 21

The Center column will be the Segment Progress Bar. The bar will be displayed in GREEN and shows how much time is left in your current segment. This will take the segment time and divide it into 10 dots and as you complete more of the segment more of the dots are lit.

For example: if your workout is 10 minutes long, each segment is 1 minute long. The Segment Progress Bar will then divide that 1 minute into 10 dots of 6 seconds per dot. The dots would clear and start counting up as each segment passes. There would be an audio beep to signal the segment change.

SCAN FUNCTION
