ASSEMBLY

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. 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 Elliptical Trainer, contact your retailer.

MOVING YOUR VISION FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

Your Elliptical Trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front foot. It is easy to move your Elliptical Trainer by rolling it on the front transport wheels. Dual-Action Elliptical Trainers -- X6000DA & X6200HRT/DA -- are more easily moved by rolling on their rear transport wheels.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

It is important that you place your Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Elliptical Trainer is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Elliptical Trainers facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Elliptical Trainer in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.

Occasionally after long term use you will find a fine black dust below your Elliptical Trainer. This is normal wear from the drive belt and DOES NOT mean there is anything wrong with your Elliptical Trainer. This dust can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this dust from getting on your floor or carpet, place a rubber or vinyl mat beneath your Elliptical Trainer.

ALL MODELS

LEVELING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

If your Elliptical Trainer wobbles when you have placed it where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located in several places on the underside of your Elliptical Trainer:

1) the rear ends of the pedal arm guide rails,

2) the side stabilizers, and

3) the front foot near the front transport wheels. Once you have leveled the Elliptical Trainer, lock the levelers in place by tightening the winged lock nuts against the underside of your Elliptical Trainer.

POWER SUPPLY (MODELS X6200HRT & X6200HRT/DA)

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

FOOT POSITION (MODELS X6000 & X6000DA ONLY)

Your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer has a large foot pad, offering you a variety of foot positions. When using your Elliptical Trainer you may notice that your heel raises off the foot pad. This is a normal ‘heel toe plant’ walking or running motion and you should not try to prevent this.

STEP POSITION

Moving your foot to the forward-most position of the foot pad increases your step height; this will give you a more vertical stepping motion. This position is particularly effective for developing your quadricep muscles.

GLIDE POSITION

Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and keeps the step pattern elliptical; your workout will feel more like a ski glide, or smooth run or walk

X6200HRT

X6200HRT/DA

FOOT POSITION

(MODELS X6200HRT & X6200HRT/DA)

You have a choice of two different foot positions: STEP or GLIDE. To adjust, simply pull up on the adjustment knob, turn counter-clockwise, then move the toe piece forward or back. To lock, turn knob back clockwise.

STEP POSITION

GLIDE POSITION

Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and keeps the step pattern elliptical; your workout will feel more like a ski glide, or smooth run or walk.

FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

NOTE: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when folding your Elliptical Trainer.

STEP 1: Lift up both flaps on the side cover casing.

STEP 2: On the side of each Guide Rail you will find a decal indicating the

correct position of the wheel center points. Move the Pedal Arms until both wheels align with these indicator decals.

ALL MODELS

STEP 3: One Pedal Arm will now be lower than the other. Simultaneously

lift both the lowest Pedal Arm and the Guide Rail upon which it is resting to the vertical position (A). The lock pin protruding from the Guide Rail should now be aligned with the lock receiving mechanism on the underside of the Pedal Arm. Firmly push the Guide Rail until it clicks and locks into position (B). Check that it is secure before proceeding.

Repeat these steps with the other Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to completely fold your Elliptical Trainer for compact storage.

NOTE: (See Illustration 4) On Dual-Action Elliptical trainers, the higher Pedal

Arm (C) will have the lower Dual-Action Handlebar behind the Pedal Arm, and the Upper Dual-action Handlebar forward of the Console Mast (D).

ALL MODELS

STEP 4: To unfold your Elliptical Trainer, push the recessed lock button found

on the underside of one Guide Rail (A). Carefully lower both the Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to the floor simultaneously (B). Repeat these steps with the other Pedal Arm and Guide Rail to completely unfold your Elliptical Trainer for use.

OPTIONAL CHILD SAFETY GUARDS

Always attach the child safety guards to the pedal arm guide rails if there are young children living in or ever visiting your house. Note that when these child safety guards are attached, the pedal arms cannot fold.
