Spend a few moments before each ride inspecting your
VISION for problems.
*Check all the nuts, bolts and other fasteners to make sure none
are loose.
*The tires should be inflated to the pressure moulded on the
sidewall, and free of cuts or imperfections.
*The wheel quick release skewers should be clamped shut with
at least 20 lbs (14kgf) of force, and a sharp blow to the top of
the tire should not knock the wheel loose. Study the wheel /
seat skewer operation diagram - the skewer handle has a curve
in it that will face the tire when properly closed. Open the
skewer handle, tighten the skewer nut slightly, then close the
skewer handle ( curve facing toward the wheel). It should
take 20-45 lbs of force to close the handle as shown, and the
skewer should emboss the metal of the wheel dropout.

Now that you are comfortable riding your new VISION, I’m sure
that you will want to customize it for your particular riding
needs. Your VISION recumbent has been designed to accept a
full range of standard bicycling accessories, as well as some
custom items that have been designed by ATP.

Virtually any small bicycle
computer will fit on your Vision. We recommend that you mount
the computer on the handlebars, although make sure that on
underbar steering models the computer doesn’t interfere with the
seat frame as you turn the handlebars from side to side.

Your VISION will accept all standard pedaling systems.
Clipless pedals such as the SPD and LOOK work extremely
well on recumbents - just remove your original pedals and
screw in the new (the left pedal is left-hand thread). Toeclips
are also recommended - practice getting in/out of them a while
before hitting the streets. One technique for entering toeclips is
