BEFORE YOU BEGIN
BDEL2906.0
• A flat area of 5’ x 4’ will be required to assemble and properly use the BF Elliptical Exerciser.
• For your benefit, read this manual carefully before using the BF Elliptical Exerciser. Please review the
exploded diagram and familiarize yourself with the parts that are labeled.
• Before beginning assembly, make sure to read the information on this page. This brief introduction will help
you with assembly and save you time.
•Assembly Requires Two Persons. For your convenience and safety, assemble the BF Elliptical Exerciser
with the help of another person.
•Set Aside Enough Time. The BF Elliptical Exerciser has many features, so the assembly process will take
approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Assembly will go smoothly if you set aside plenty of time and decide to
make the task enjoyable.
•Select A Location. Because of its weight and size, the BF Elliptical Exerciser should be assembled in the
location where it will be used. Make sure that there is enough room to walk around the BF Elliptical Exerciser
as you assemble it.
•How to Unpack the Box. Place all parts of the BF Elliptical Exerciser in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Note: The assembly
hardware for the BF Elliptical Exerciser can be found in the carton.
•Tools Required For Assembly. Assembly will require a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench.
•How to Identify Parts. Remove all the parts from the carton and carefully place them on the floor. To help
you identify the small parts used in assembly, we have included a PARTS LIST in this manual. Place the list
on the floor and use it to easily identify parts during each assembly step.
Note: Some small parts may have
been preattached. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been preattached.
•Tightening Parts. Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless instructed to do otherwise.
• The decal shown at the right has been placed
on the elliptical exerciser. If the decal is miss-
ing or illegible, call the toll-free telephone num-
ber on the back cover of this manual and
order a free replacement decal. Apply the
decal in the location shown.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console features five displays that
provide instant exercise feedback during your work-
outs. The displays are described below.
Speed—This display shows your pedaling speed, in
miles or kilometers per hour.
Time —This display shows the elapsed time. Note: If
you set a time goal (see step 2), this mode will display
the time remaining in your workout.
Distance—This display shows the distance you have
pedaled during your workout, in miles or kilometers.
Note: If you set a distance goal (see step 2), this dis-
play will show the distance remaining in your workout.
Calorie—This display shows the approximate number
of calories you have burned during your workout.
Note: If you set a calorie-burning goal (see step 2),
this display will show the number of calories still to be
burned in your workout.
Pulse—This display shows your heart rate in beats
per minute when the console detects your pulse.
When no pulse is detected, a “P” will appear in the dis-
play.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Make sure that the console has batteries (see assem-
bly step 6 on page 10). If there is a sheet of clear plas-
tic on the face of the console, remove it.
Note: You can set the
console to display
speed and distance in
either kilometers or
miles. When you insert
batteries into the console,
a “1” will begin to flash in
the Speed display. While the “1” is flashing, you can
press the MODE button repeatedly to switch between
“1” (kilometers) and “2” (miles). A few seconds after
you have selected “1” or “2,” the unit of measurement
will be set.
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press any button on the
console or simply begin pedaling.
2. Set a workout goal, if desired.
To set a time, dis-
tance, or calorie-burn-
ing goal for your work-
out, press the MODE
button repeatedly until
the word SET begins
to flash in the Time,
Distance, or Calorie display.
Next, press the SET button repeatedly to set a
goal. To set a goal quickly, hold down the SET but-
ton. To reset the goal, press the RESET button
while the word SET is flashing in the display.

3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with
the displays.
As you exercise, the console will provide instant
feedback about your workout. If you have set a
workout goal, a tone will sound for several seconds
when you reach your goal; if you continue to exer-
cise, the display will begin to count upward.
4. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
of the hand-
grip pulse
sensor, peel
off the plastic.
Place your
hands on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, with
your palms on the contacts. Avoid moving your
hands. When your pulse is detected, your heart
rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving
your hands excessively or squeezing the metal
contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, peri-
odically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to
clean the contacts.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals do not move for a few seconds, the
console displays will pause.
The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the pedals
do not move and the console buttons are not
pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off
automatically to save the batteries.

EXERCISE/SPECIFICATIONS
To achieve a considerable improvement of your
physical fitness and health, take note of the following
information and recommendations. To avoid health
risks, especially if you have not been physically active
for a long period of time, you should consult your gen-
eral physician before starting to exercise.
INTENSITY
To achieve maximum results, you need to choose the
right exercise intensity. Use your pulse rate as a
guide during your workouts. As a rule of thumb, use
the following formula: Maximum pulse rate = 220 –
Age.
While exercising, your pulse rate should always be
between 60% and 85% of your maximum pulse rate.
When starting to exercise, you should keep your
pulse rate at 60% of your maximum pulse rate during
the first couple of weeks. As your fitness improves,
slowly increase your pulse rate to 85% of your maxi-
mum pulse rate.
FAT BURNING
The body starts to burn fat at approximately 60% of
the maximum pulse rate.
To reach an optimum burning rate, it is advisable
to keep your pulse rate between 60% and 70% of
your maximum pulse rate.
The optimum training consists of three workouts of 30
minutes each per week.
Example:
• You are 52 years old and would like to start
exercising.
• Maximum pulse rate = 220 – 52 (age) = 168
pulse/min
• Minimum pulse rate = 168 x 0.6 = 101 pulse/min
• Highest pulse rate = 168 x 0.7 = 117 pulse/min
• During the first weeks it is advisable to start with a
pulse rate of 101, later increasing to a pulse rate of
117.
As your fitness improves, you can increase your exer-
cise intensity to 70% to 85% of your maximum pulse
rate.
You can increase your exercise intensity by adjusting
the resistance on the equipment, by exercising more
frequently, or by increasing the length of your training
periods.
WARM UP
Before every training period, you should warm up for
5 to 10 minutes by performing low-resistance stretch-
ing.
TRAINING PERIOD
During your actual training period, try to achieve a
pulse rate that is 70% to 85% of your maximum pulse
rate.
Calculate the length of your training session with the
following rule of thumb:
•
Daily training session: approximately 10 minutes per
unit
• 2–3 times per week: approximately 30 minutes per
unit
• 1–2 times per week: approximately 60 minutes per
unit
COOL DOWN
For an effective cool-down of your muscles and
metabolism, reduce your exercise intensity during the
last 5 to 10 minutes of your training period.
Stretching is also helpful for preventing muscle aches.
SUCCESS
Even after a short period of regular exercises, you
will notice that you constantly have to increase the
equipment resistance to reach your optimum pulse
rate. Exercising will become easier and you will feel a
lot fitter in your everyday life.
