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 (#36)
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 (#35)
by re-strapping it. To do so, first turn the
Tension Adjustment Knob (#36)
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 (#35)
to wrap around the wheel,
the less friction it will cause. Re-adjust the
Tension Adjustment Knob (#36)
after you finished re-strapping.

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.

Note: For your safety, always ensure the Friction Belt is
fully strapped around the wheel, and that both ends of the
Friction Belt are secured.
