CONQUEST ROWING MACHINE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
At least once a year, the cover on your rowing machine should be removed and any dust or debris
vacuumed up to maintain the smooth operation of the drive system. Contact the Elite Fitness
Service Department for further information on servicing your rowing machine.
Prolong the life of your rower by performing periodic maintenance checks. Not only does this
ensure your machine is in full working order to ensure they continue to run smoothly and reliably,
but it will save you service costs in the long run.
Cleaning
General cleaning of the unit after use will protect the rowers powder-coated framework and
prevent unnecessary corrosion stains and damage to the structural components from sweat and
perspiration. During this time check for any cracks and damage.
Guide Rail:
This area needs attention every week. It needs to be kept free of dust and debris. If the wheels roll
over dust and debris it ingrains itself in either the wheel or the rail itself. Over time this will pit the
wheels or guide rail making for a bumpy workout.
Chain:
If you have a chain attached to your rowing handle once every 6 months you should give it a light
oiling. The chain should be free of build-up before re-greasing if it is dirty use an automotive
degreaser and paper towel to remove the build-up.
To oil the chain; pull the chain to its full extent and while holding the handle use a clean paper
towel to rub lubricant along the length of the chain. 3 in 1 oil or 20W motor oil are recommended.
About 1 teaspoon of lubricant is plenty.
Adjust the End cap & How to fold the unit
To fold the aluminium rail, pull out the lock pin from the joint. Secure the rail by the lock pin.
Correct Exercising Position
When exercising, hold the handlebar tightly and relax your back. Try and use the product in a
rhythmical and smooth motion. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or experiencing a
surging type feeling, adjust the tension down to a more comfortable setting.
