Read the Owners Manual before setting up the Johnson Fitness Air Rower. Place the air 

rower in where they will be used before beginning the setup procedure.

MAKING A CHOICE OF SITE

The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Locate the Air Rower W8000 a structurally 

solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has a heavy 

plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base 

under the unit.

Please do not place the Air Rower in an area of high humidity, such as the vicinity of a 

steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could 

adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a 

desirable daily activity for you, the unit should be in an attractive setting.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST ROW 

1) Consult your physician. Be sure that it is not dangerous for you to undertake a strenuous

    exercise program. 

2) Improper technique such as extreme layback or jumping off the seat can result in injury. 

3) Start each workout with several minutes of easy rowing for a warm-up. 

4) Start your exercise program gradually. Row no more than 5 minutes the first day to let

    your body adjust to the new exercise. 

5) Gradually increase your rowing time and intensity over the first two weeks. Do not row

    at full power until you are comfortable with the technique and have rowed for at least a

    week. Like any physical activity, if you increase the volume and intensity too rapidly, fail

    to warm up properly, or use poor technique, you will increase the risk of injury.

6) The best resistance setting for a great cardiovascular workout is in the range of 3-5.

    Rowing with the resistance setting too high can be detrimental to your training program

    because it may reduce your output and increase your risk of injury.

7) Aim for a stroke rate (spm) of between 24 and 30 spm (strokes per minute).
