PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

Please follow the safety instructions to place the Elliptical Trainer in the

location where it will best be used. It is important that you place your

Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Avoid putting your

Elliptical Trainer in an unfinished basement or undesirable setting. Exercise

adherence will be achieved only if you exercise in an attractive setting.

STABILIZING THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

After positioning the Elliptical Trainer

in its intended location, check its

stability by attempting to rock it side

to side. Excessive rocking or

wobbling indicates that your

Elliptical Trainer needs to be leveled.

Your Elliptical Trainer has levelers

located under the guide rails and

under the side stabilizers. 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 Elliptical Trainer is stable.

Lock the adjustment by tightening the

wing nut against the stabilizer or

guide rail.

POWER SUPPLY (MODEL

X1500

ONLY)

Your Elliptical Trainer uses a wall mount external power supply. Use only

the power supply provided with your Elliptical Trainer. 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 Elliptical Trainer.
