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.
