STEP 8

Hang the hooks on both sides of the of the elastic pull rope (14) as shown below.

The unit comes with a Bluetooth module (15), as well as 2 Varta AAA batteries and a Varta battery charger. This allows you to operate the module in an environmentally friendly way. We recommend that you fully charge the batteries before inserting them for the first time. After inserting them, connect the sensor cable to the module and place the module (15) on the base of the device as shown. The module has a magnet that fixes the module to the base of the unit.

FILLING AND EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

1. Remove the plug of the tank.

2. Fig. A shows how to fill the tank with water. Place the hose in the tank and use either the supplied siphon pump or the USB pump and a bucket of water to fill the tank. Pay attention to the filling quantity, which is indicated on the tank side wall by the level indicator.

3. Fig. B shows how to empty the tank. Place a bucket

Max water level 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Resistance level Min water level

in close proximity to the water tank and use the supplied siphon pump or the USB pump to pump water from the tank into the bucket.

1. Put the plug back into the tank. If any water has spilled, wipe it away.

NOTES:

- Always fill the tank with tap water or drinking water. Do NOT use distilled water, as this no longer contains any additives and so algae may develop more quickly. Never use pure chlorine bleach instead of a commercially available water treatment/chlorine tablet. Chlorine bleach, unlike chlorine tablets, may damage the tank.

- From now on, add a water treatment tablet to the tank every approx. 2 months. If the water remains cloudy despite the tablet, change the water in the tank.

- The water from the tank is not suitable for consumption. After emptying, pour the water away.

The water level

- Fig. A shows where the level indicator is located (side wall of the tank). You may fill the tank to a maximum of the „Max“ mark. Never overfill the tank beyond this! This will void the warranty (minimum = 8 litres / maximum = 16 litres).

- The resistance during rowing depends on the fill level of the tank. Filling level 1 means the lowest resistance when rowing, level 9 is the highest resistance.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. It strengthens the heart and circulation as well as all the major muscle groups: The back, abdomen, arms, shoulders, buttocks and legs.

Rowing basics:

1. Sit on the seat and put your feet on the footrests and fix them with the Velcro. Grasp the handles.
2. Assume the start position, leaning forward with arms outstretched and bending the legs.

1. Push yourself backwards. The back and legs are stretched at the same time and the body slowly opens as the seat slides back.

1. Carry out this movement until you lean slightly backwards. At this stage the elbows should point outwards. Return to the posture under point 2) and repeat the sequence.

As a beginner, you should first learn the correct sequence and the rhythm of movement. You can increase the speed and resistance later.

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN

A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise and a cool-down. Exercise for at least two or preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you may increase the frequency to four or five times per week.

WARM-UP

This stage helps to improve the blood circulation and prepares the muscles for your workout. It additionally helps to reduce the risk of injury or cramps. It is recommended to do some stretching exercises as shown here below. Hold each stretching position for approximately 30 seconds. Never force or jerk yourself into a stretching position – if you feel pain, STOP immediately. Warm-up exercises may also include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope exercises or running in place.

STRETCHING

Muscles can be stretched more easily when these are warm. This reduces the risk of injury. DO NOT BOUNCE.

COOL-DOWN

This stage helps to soothe your muscles and your cardiovascular system after your workout. At the end of your workout, reduce the speed and exercise for approximately 5 minutes at this lower speed level. Afterwards, repeat the warm-up exercises as described above.

TRANSPORTING THE UNIT

To move the unit, lift it from the solid wood base (6) until the wheels (2) touch the floor.

This way you can easily roll the unit from place to place.

STORAGE

1. Store the rowing machine vertically after working out to save space. Empty the tank if it to be stored upright for more than 2 weeks to avoid algae forming in the stagnant water.
2. Watch your head when standing the unit upright - you could bump the rear stand!
3. Caution! Before setting up the unit in the vertical position, please push the seat all the way forward to the final position!

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin on batteries or accumulators indicates that they must not be disposed of in household waste at the end of their life. If batteries or accumulators contain mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb), you will find the respective chemical symbol below the symbol of the crossed-out dustbin. You are legally obliged to return old batteries and accumulators after use. You can do this free of charge at a retail outlet or at another collection point near you. You can obtain addresses of suitable collection points

from your city or local government. Batteries may contain substances that are harmful to the environment and human health. Particular care should be taken when handling batteries containing lithium because of the special risks involved. The separate collection and recycling of old batteries and accumulators is intended to avoid negative impacts on the environment and human health. Please avoid the generation of waste from old batteries as far as possible, e.g. by giving preference to batteries with a longer life or rechargeable batteries. Please avoid littering public spaces by not carelessly leaving batteries or electrical and electronic equipment containing batteries. Please consider ways to reuse a battery instead of disposing of it, for example by reconditioning or repairing the battery.

In accordance with our policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the right to make technical and visual changes without notice.
