Setting Up Your Rower
Powering Unit
The R88 has the capacity to run on 2 AA 1.5V batteries. Once the power source is connected, the
computer will turn on automatically. If unit goes into a “sleep mode” press any key or pull on the pull
strap to activate computer.
Battery Power
Remove the battery cover at the front of the unit and install 2 size AA batteries. Make sure that the
batteries are correctly positioned and properly installed. Reinstall the battery cover. Estimated
battery life is approximately three months under normal use; if the batteries are low, next to the pulse
display a battery symbol will flash when they need to be replaced.
Note: Never mix old and new batteries and never mix different brand of batteries. If unit is going to
be stored for a long period of time, it is mandatory to remove the batteries to prevent damaging the
electrical system.
Unfolding the Rail
1) Loosen Clamp Knob: While the rower is in the unfolded position, rotate the clamp knob (125)
counter-clockwise five to seven turns.
2) Lowering the Beam: Position one hand on the aluminum beam (001) while the other hand pulls
down on the clamp knob to release the safety lock. This will allow the aluminum beam to lower
flat.
3) Tighten Clamp Knob: While the rower is in the flat position, lift up on the machine where the
clamp knob (125) is located until you hear the clamp knob lock in place. While lifting up on the
machine rotate the clamp knob clockwise to lock beam in place.
WARNING: Never attempt to lower the beam by yourself, ask for additional help if needed and never
attempt to lift the beam if you have any medical issues.
To avoid serious injury, keep finger and hands away from the folding hinge points
