PART 2 - Using the Vasa Kayak Ergometer
SUPERVISING CHILDREN
We recommend supervising children at all times while using the Vasa Kayak Ergometer. Please review the
Safety Reminders and Getting On and Off Safely in this section with all children who will use the Vasa
Kayak Ergometer.
In addition, we recommend that children should train with or be instructed by a parent or coach when-
ever possible. This will help reduce the chance of injury. It also can be more motivating and fun.
SECURING YOUR VASA KAYAK ERGOMETER IN A PUBLIC SETTING
If your Vasa Kayak Ergometer is left in a public area, you may wish to secure or vandal-proof it to avoid
unauthorized use. We recommend the following:
1. Remove any drive cord attachment (handles or kayak shaft). Store these and any other accessories
in a secure place.
2. To deter unwanted use and protect your investment, keep your Vasa Kayak Ergometer covered
when not in use. Covers are available at www.vasatrainer.com.
3. Store the Vasa Kayak Ergometer in a dry, secure room or closet. Avoid storing it in a humid,
chlorine or salt-air environment.
MEDICAL CLEARANCE -
See your Doctor before beginning any exercise program.
CAUTION: Before exercising with the Vasa Kayak Ergometer or any other form of exercise, please
check with your physician first. This is especially important if you are overweight, if you have been
inactive for awhile, if you have injuries, or if you have any history of heart disease in your family. If
you are over 35, it’s a good idea to perform an exercise stress test with a qualified physician before
you begin training. Training with the Vasa Kayak Ergometer can be vigorous and demanding. We
suggest that you be in good health to achieve the best results.
