ASSEMBLY

The rowing machine is shipped in the locked storage position. Unlock the front tube's latch under the seat and push the seat back. Push the front tube folded on the frame up and forward. Pull the locking pin up and press the front frame downward simultaneously by the pulley wheel cover. Release the locking pin and ensure that the front frame is in locked forward position. Always tighten the locking pin before you begin to exercise.

CONSOLE

Turn the console carefully away from the front frame so that you can remove the battery compartment cover in the back of the console. Open the battery compartment cover carefully from its lower edge. Press in the tab at the bottom of the cover to unlock it, then lift the cover up. Be careful not to damage the wires. Set the batteries (4× C) in their place according to the markings in the battery compartment. Reattach the cover and adjust the angle of the console appropriately for exercise. The clock in the console uses always batteries, even when the device is not connected to any power source. Otherwise the clock would reset to zero.

Adjust the console so that it is in an appropriate angle for exercise.

TRANSFORMER

Connect the transformer power cord to a receptacle. Connect the transformer connector to the plug in the front frame. Always disconnect the power cord from the device and the receptacle after you finish. NOTE! Always remove the mains cable from the fitness equipment first, and only then remove it from the power source. Always

connect the mains cable to the power source first, and only then connect it to the fitness equipment. Inverted order resets the meter clock display.

Make sure the power cord does not run underneath the equipment.

IMPORTANT! The device is shipped with a loop and a hook for securing the rowing machine properly in the storage position. Choose an appropriate storage site for your rowing machine next to a wall and attach the hook tightly to the wall at the right height. Lift the rowing machine to the storage position in front of the hook. Thread the loop provided with the rowing machine around the cross bar and attach the loop to the hook. Do not climb on the rowing machine when it is in storage position!

EXERCISING

Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition to strengthening the heart and improving circulation, it develops the various groups of large muscles: the back, the abdomen, the arms, the shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs. Rowing also develops muscular flexibility without exertion of joints, and it is a recommended form of exercise for those who suffer from pains in the neck and shoulder area. Working out using a rowing machine is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.

Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout.

You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise 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 first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. You should start slowly and at low resistance, because strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness 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. First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn't increase with added effort. If you don't know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

220 - AGE

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50 - 60% of maximum heart-rate Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven't exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70% of maximum heart-rate Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70 - 80% of maximum heart-rate Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

USE

ADJUSTING RESISTANCE

During exercise you may increase/decrease exercise intensity by pressing the + / - keys. Increase resistance/pulse with the + and decrease resistance/pulse with the - key.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The console has a heart rate receiver compatible with Polar equipment, so you can also use Polar uncoded heart rate belts for heart rate measurement. The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic field.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. Attach the transmitter and adjust the flexible belt to an appropriate tightness below chest level so that the electrodes are in contact with the skin during exercise. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1 m.

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes

are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.

When selecting training attire, please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

ROWING MOTION

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 flex your arms at the same time. Return to the starting position, lean forward and straighten your arms.

BICEPS (ELBOW FLEXORS)

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. Bend your arms. You can also develop your biceps by standing in front of the device, grasping either over or under the bar and bending your arms.

TRICEPS (ELBOW EXTENSORS)

Sit on the seat with your back towards the front frame and grasp hold of the bar. Straighten your arms and pull the bar over your head.

CHEST MUSCLES

Stand next to the device with a foot between the rails. Pull the bar with the arm bent. Repeat the same with the other arm.

SHOULDER

Stand in front of the device and grasp over the bar. Pull the bar upward lifting your shoulders and bending your arms. Straighten your back at the same time.

IMPORTANT! Always make sure that the pull wire is not kinked. NOTE! Make sure the wire hook does not fray the wire!

2. Upon completion of the measurement, the display shows the recovery rate as a percentage. The smaller the rate, the fitter you are. Please note that your results are in a relation to the pulse level in the beginning of the measurement, and that your results are personal and cannot directly be compared with any other person's results. In order to improve the reliability of recovery pulse measurement, always try to standardize the measurement situation as accurately as possible; start measuring at the same heart rate level as precisely as possible.
3. To switch back to the main display by pressing RESET. The console will also automatically switch to the main display one minute after the completion of the measurement.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Move the device according to the following instruction, because lifting the rower incorrectly may strain your back or cause other risk of accidents:

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 floor while holding on to the rail and the seat, all the time remaining behind the device.

Transport the equipment with caution over uneven surfaces, for example over a step. The equipment should never be transported upstairs using the wheels over the steps, instead it must be carried. We recommend that you use a protective base when transporting the equipment.

To prevent malfunctioning of the rower, store in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible, protected from dust.

1. Loosen the locking pin under the front frame, press the front frame downward slightly and pull the locking pin upward.
2. Open the latch on the left hand side by pressing the tab to the side. Lift the front frame up at the same time.

1. Lower the front frame carefully in between the rails and lock it with the retainer in the front end of the seat. Ensure that the front frame is locked.
2. Grasp the cross bar at the back of the rowing machine and lift the device to an upright position so that it is supported by the front end support legs.

Store the rowing machine in the storage position against a wall in such a way that the front frame cannot fall on anyone by accident.

IMPORTANT! The device is shipped with a loop and a hook for securing the rowing machine properly in the storage position. Choose an appropriate storage site for your rowing machine next to a wall and attach the hook tightly to the wall at the right height. Lift the rowing machine to the storage position in front of the hook. Thread the loop provided with the rowing machine around the cross bar and attach the loop to the hook. Do not climb on the rowing machine when it is in storage position!

MAINTENANCE

The R60 requires very little maintenance. Check, however, from time to time that all screws and nuts are tight.
- Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
- Never remove the protective covers.
- Clean the inner surfaces of the rail if necessary so that the seat moves as smoothly and quietly as possible. If necessary, you may improve the seat movement by adding paraffin to the surface of the rails.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Meter batteries: A warning display reports when the batteries of the meter need to be replaced. Turn the meter carefully outward from the front frame so that you

can remove the battery box cover on the back of the meter. Open the battery box cover carefully from its lower edge. Be careful not to damage the wires. Replace the batteries (4 "C" batteries) in the battery box according to the markings. Replace the cover.
