CHANGING BATTERIES

If there are only weak or no fi gures on display, change 
the batteries (2 x 1,5 V AA). Dismount the meter from 
the frame and disconnect the meter and the cables. 
Open the meter cover and change the batteries. Replace 
the back cover, reconnect the cables and fasten the 
meter to the frame.

STORAGE

Move the rowing machine according to the following 
instruction: stand behind the device and grip the rail 
with one hand and the seat with the other. Tilt the device 
so that is rests on the transportation wheels. Move the 
device by wheeling it on transportation wheels. Lower 
the device onto fl oor while holding on to the rail and the 
seat,all the time remaining behind the device.

NOTE: 

Follow the moving instructions because lifting 

the device incorrectly may strain your back or cause 
other risk of accidents.

To prevent malfunctioning of the machine, keep it  in a 
dry place with as little temperature variation as possible, 
protected from dust.

To minimize the strain on the resistance mechanism, we 
recommend that the resistance adjustment knob is set 
to position 0 after every training session.

sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been 
reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the 
number of exercise sessions.

Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because 
it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the 
body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine 
regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should 
exercise daily - at fi rst 30 minutes or less at a time, 
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. 
You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed and low 
resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous 
exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system 
to excessive strain. As fi tness improves, resistance and 
speed can be increased gradually. 

Short sequences at heavy load increase maximum 
strength and muscular mass, longer sequences at a 
lighter load trim the body and develop stamina.

ADJUSTING RESISTANCE

To increase or decrease resistance, turn the adjustment 
knob clockwise (+ direction) to increase resistance and 
counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease resistance. 
The scale of the knob helps you fi nd  and  reset  a 
suitable resistance. 

In rowing machines with fl ywheel construction, stroke 
speed is at highest at the end of the rowing stroke 
with the body leaning slightly backwards and the arms 
fl exed against the chest. The fl ywheel speed is also at 
its highest at this point. Stroke speed is at its lowest at 
the start of the rowing stroke. If you row at a very low 
resistance at a fast tempo, the fl ywheel will continue to 
rotate fast at the beginning of the rowing motion, and 
there may be an idle stroke. It is therefore recommended 
to use a higher resistance when the rowing tempo 
is very fast. 

SERVICE

The rower requires a minimum of maintenance. From 
time to time, check that all fi xing screws and nuts are 
securely tightened. Clean the device with a damp cloth. 
Do not use solvents. Check the condition of the wire 
before every training session.

If you notice any defects or malfunctions in the device 
during the use, contact your dealer immediately.

In spite of continuous quality control, individual 
defects and malfunctions may occur due to individual 
components. It is in most cases unnecessary to take the 
whole rowing machine for repair, as it is usually suffi cient 
to replace the defective part.

Bend your arms. 

NOTE!

 Make sure the 

wire hook does not fray the wire!

BICEPS (ELBOW FLEXORS)

TRICEPS (ELBOW EXTENSORS)

CHEST MUSCLES

Sit on the seat with your back towards 
the frame and grasp hold of the bar as 
indicated in the fi gure.

Straighten your arms. 

NOTE! 

Make sure 

the wire hook does not fray the wire!

Stand by the machine as indicated in the 
fi gure, with your foot on the rail.

Pull the bar with the arm bent. Repeat 
the same with the other arm.

 NOTE!

Make sure the wire hook does not fray 
the wire!

ROWING MOTION

You can develop the biceps while rowing 
by taking an undergrasp of the bar or 
in the following way: grasp the bar from 
underneath, keep your knees straight and 
your feet under the footstraps. Begin the 
movement with your arms straight.

Tighten the footstraps.  Take a grip on 
the bar and start the rowing stroke by 
leaning slightly forward, with the knees 
bent and the arms straight.

Push yourself backwards straightening 
your back and your legs simultaneously. 

Continue the movement until you lean 
slightly backwards and fl ex your arms 
at the same time. Return to the starting 
position, lean forward and straighten 
your arms.
