It is recommended, when possible, that an authorized VISION FITNESS

I N T RO

retailer assemble your Elliptical Trainer. 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. If you have any questions regarding any part or function of your Elliptical Trainer, contact your retailer.

MOVING

Your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer has transport wheels included for ease of mobility. To move, firmly grasp the rear of the frame assembly. Carefully lift and roll on the transport wheels.

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

340 pounds! Use care and additional help if necessary.

STABILIZING THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

After positioning the Elliptical Trainer in its intended location, check the unit’s stability. Rocking or wobbling indicates that your Elliptical Trainer needs to be leveled. Determine which leveler is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the 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 nut against the rear foot support.

SELF-POWERED FEATURE

The X70 is self-powered, requiring no external power source. When a user strides at a speed above 40 strides per minute (SPM), the power is generated to allow the Elliptical Trainer to function properly. Because of this self-generating feature, the console feedback will fade away when you cease pedaling. The console does, however, use a 9-volt battery as backup to save your feedback information for 30 seconds from the time you stopped striding. If you resume striding within the 30 seconds, the information will reappear. If the information does not appear within the 30 seconds, your battery may need to be plugged in or replaced.

CONTACT HEART RATE

HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS

The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to monitor your heart rate. To use, grasp both of the sensors with a comfortable grip during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. It may take the system a few seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.
