Assembly of the base unit 

 
The RP3 rowing simulator comes pre-assembled into separate parts: 
1.

 

Main frame assembly with flywheel 

2.

 

Main bar 

3.

 

Seat 

4.

 

Front leg with Black Conical Bump Stop 

5.

 

Rear leg with height adjustment knob 

6.

7.

 

USB cable 

 
 
Tools needed: 
All tools are supplied in a plastic box or bag but as the Bars is a tight fit into the legs it is 
useful to have a soft hammer (As a substitute a hard hammer and a piece of wood for 
cushioning can be used.)  
 

General 

The RP3 unit comes in a PU foam lined cardboard box that can be used for multiple 
transports, as well as for a temporary workbench for assembling the unit. 
All units are pre-assembled, and the main bars and main frames have been matched for the 
proper clearance between main bar and rollers in the factory.  
 
Prior to assembly check the serial numbers of the main frame and of and main bar 
correspond. 
 
All tools, bolts and screws that are needed for assembly are in the plastic bag or box . 
 
The assembly procedure is as follows: 

1.

 

Remove all the rowing simulator parts from the box and close it. 

Put the main bar on the top of the box with the concave part facing upwards on top. Attach 
the adjustable-height rear leg to the Curved end of the main bar, correctly align the 
mounting holes, insert the bolts and tighten using the hex key.   
 
Slide the seat onto the bar with the Cut out part towards the rear leg. 
Put the main bar aside. 
 

2.

 

Put the unit with the flywheel side facing downwards on top of the box. Check that 
the Stainless Steel handled Locking pin on the side between the Flywheel and foot 
position is in the “out” position. 
 

Insert the main bar, straight end first, from the tapered end into the main frame. Make sure 
it is properly aligned in between the guiding edges of the clearance adjustment rollers and 
push through towards the foot stretcher side. Do this very carefully so the main bar does 
not damage the inside of the main frame! 
 
Lock the Main frame in position using the Locking  pin in 2 above.
