- Page 12 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.
- Page 13 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.
- Page 14 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.
- Page 15 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.
- Page 16 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.

- Page 31 TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER Our Elliptical Trainers are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause. PROBLEM: The Console does not light up (Models X6000 & X6000DA only).
- Page 32 TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR HEART RATE MONITOR CHEST STRAP PROBLEM: No pulse reading appears. SOLUTION: There may be a poor connection between the contact pads and skin. Remoisten the electrodes. SOLUTION: Transmitter is not properly positioned. Reposition the chest strap. SOLUTION: Verify that the distance between transmitter and receiver is not beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.
- Page 34 COMMON ELLIPTICAL TRAINER QUESTIONS Q: Are the sounds my Elliptical Trainer make normal? A: Our Elliptical Trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train.
- Page 35 Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Elliptical Trainers so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Elliptical Trainer after each use. Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application.

- Page 40 DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM WARM UP When you exercise you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing demands of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and blood temperature.
- Page 41 FLEXIBILITY Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up as stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. When stretching you should start slowly, exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch is more effective and less of a risk for injury.
- Page 42 STANDING CALF STRETCH Standing about 3 feet from a wall, take one step forward with your left foot. Place your hands on the wall in front of you. Your elbows slightly bent, shoulders, hips, and feet are pointed directly towards the wall.
- Page 43 EXERCISE GUIDELINES The American Council of Sports Medicine (A.C.S.M.) recommends the following exercise guidelines, for healthy aerobic activity: Frequency: Exercise 3 to 5 days each week. Warm-up: Warm-up 5 to 10 minutes before aerobic activity. Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes. Cool Down: Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to cool down during the last 5 to 10 minutes.
- Page 44 EXERCISE INTENSITY To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to monitor exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk Test. TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate.
- Page 45 RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Rate of Perceived Exertion (R.P.E.) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable.
- Page 46 Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your VISION FITNESS Product console provides you with sever- al readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
- Page 47 SAMPLE GOALS: Goal-setting is a popular motivational technique. It’s important to set goals and reward yourself when initiating a new exercise program because you’re attempting to break current patterns and form a new habit. Whether you use this technique or another, make fitness a priority in your life. You can achieve the ultimate reward to yourself: you can establish the exercise habit! Some sample goals may be:...
