Remove the Nylon Nuts (#145) and Washers (#156) that
are pre-assembled on the Handlebar Axle (#112) and set
them aside as they will be used in a later process.
Insert the Handlebar Axle (#112) through the main frame.
Make sure the Handlebar Axle (#112) is centered. If you
encounter too much friction, try using WD40 or Vaseline as
a lubricant.
Attach Left Coupler Bar (#104L) and Right Coupler Bar
(#104R) to the main frame via the Handlebar Axle (#112).
Again, use WD40 or Vaseline to reduce friction if needed.
Once the Left Coupler Bar (#104L) and Right Coupler
Bar (#104R) are correctly situated, fasten the end of the
Handlebar Axle (#112) with a Washer (#156) and a Nylon
Nut (#145) on each side. Then cap each end with a Cap
(#142).

Assembly Step 3
Right Crankshaft
Note:
Keep the Right/Left Pedal Hinge Bolt (#162/163) perfectly
straight as they go through the Pedal Connection Joint
(#166) and the Crankshaft (#127). If the Right/ Left Pedal
Hinge Bolt (#162/163) are connected to the Crankshaft
(#127) incorrectly, or, the Special Washer (#164) does
not fit the Lock Pin for Pedal Hinge Bolt (#154) tightly,
damage to the Right/ Left Pedal Hinge Bolt (#162/163)
and Crankshaft (#127) will occur.
Attach the Pedal Connection Joint (#166) to the Right Pedal Tube (#106R). Insert a Hex Bolt (#105) through the upper
bracket of the Pedal Connection Joint (#166), followed by Right Pedal Tube (#106R) then the lower bracket of the Pedal
Connection Joint (#166). Secure them with a Nylon Nut (#145).
Attach three Caps (#142) on three Hex Bolts (#105) as illustrated in the drawing below.
Align and attach the Pedal Connection Joint (#166) on the Right Pedal Tube (#106R) to the right Crankshaft (#127). Insert
the Right Pedal Hinge Bolt (#162) through Pedal Connection Joint (#166) and Crankshaft (#127). Secure the Right Pedal
Hinge Bolt (#162) tightly into the Crankshaft (#127) by turning CLOCKWISE.
After that, insert a Lock Pin for Pedal Hinge Bolt (#154) to the small hole located at the end of the Pedal Hinge Bolt (#162).
Fit the Special Washer (#164) over the Lock Pin for Pedal Hinge Bolt (#154) and the Pedal Hinge Bolt (#162), then, secure
with a Spring Washer (#151) and a Right Nylon Nut (#149).
Repeat the above process on the left side of the machine.
Remove Hex Bolts (#105) and Nylon Nuts (#145) that are pre-assembled on the Pedal Connection Joint (#166) and set
them aside as they will be used in a later process.

A. Handlebar Assembly:
1). Dual-action mode: To allow Left/Right Handlebar
(#107L/107R) to move along with the movement of
the Pedals (#111), attach the Left/Right Handlebar
(#107L/107R) to the Left/Right Coupler Bar (#104L
/104R). Select a height setting that is comfortable
to the user, and make sure both handlebars are set
at the same height. Lock Left/Right Handlebar
(#107L/107R) in place with two Knob Bolts (#117).
2). Fixed mode: To keep the Left/Right Handlebars
(#107L/107R) stationary, attach them to the two
tubes on the Main Frame (#101) between the Left
/Right Coupler Bars (#104L/104R). Set the Left
/Right Handlebars (#107L/107R) at the same
height, and, secure them with two Knob Bolts (#117).
B. Electronic Monitor Assembly:
Remove the Screws (#157) that are pre-assembled on
the Main Frame (#101) and set them aside as they will
be used in a later process.
Attach the Electronic Monitor Base (#167) to the Main
Frame (#101), secure them with two Screws (#157).
Connect the Sensor Wire (#126) to the Wire on the back
of the Electronic Monitor (#150). Attach the Electronic

Tension Adjustment
The assembly of your Body Rider is now complete. As you try it for the first time, you should adjust the tension to a desirable
level before you begin a full workout.
For slight tension adjustment, simply turn the Tension Adjustment Knob (#136) found at the top center. Tension level can be
manipulated this way to vary intensity of workout as you exercise.
For greater tension adjustment, you may loosen or tighten the Friction Belt (#135) by re-strapping it. To do so, first turn the
Tension Adjustment Knob (#136) all the way to the loosest setting. Then re-strap the belt at the buckle on the main frame,
just beneath the flat beam at the top center. The more length you allow for the Friction Belt (#135) to wrap around the wheel,
the less friction it will cause. Re-adjust the Tension Adjustment Knob (#136) after you finished re-strapping.
Remove the three Washers (#44) and three Nylon Nuts (#40) that are pre-assembled on the back of the Seat (#63) and
set them aside as they will be used in a later process. Attach the Seat (#63) onto the Horizontal Seat Bar (#61) and
make sure that the Seat (#63) is pointing directly toward the short end of it and then tighten with three Washers (#44)
and three Nylon Nuts (#40) that were previously removed. The Knob (#68) can be loosened to adjust the distance of
the seat from the handle bars. Make sure to tighten the knob after making any adjustment. Insert the Seat Post (#60)
into the mouth of the post that is protruding from the Main Frame (#01). Make sure the holes on the Seat Post (#63)
are facing the right before inserting. The Spring Loaded Knob (#67) has a safety feature that allows you to loosen it
by turning it counter clockwise three times as you pull it outward. Adjust the seat height and then pop the knob back
in. Tighten the knob by turning clockwise. See the illustration below.
Assembly Instructions
Reversible Movement
Forward pedaling emphasizes your quadriceps muscles (front thighs), while backward pedaling emphasizes your hamstrings
(back thighs). Take advantage of this fact to make your workout less fatiguing, and more fun.
BR1830 Page 11

Safety Instructions
• Make sure all bolts are tightened.
• Check for loose parts and components
• Check to see if there are any tears or bends in the welding or metal.
• Be sure that all adjustment locking devices and safety devices are
properly engaged prior to use!
