The holders are 8-way adjustable and can thus be adapted to the respective size of the user. Hang in Hang in Hook Hook Unit base Sensor cable Bluetooth module 2xAAA- batteries Cover 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.

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 xes the module to the base of the unit.

1. Remove the plug of the tank.

2. Fig. A shows how to ll the tank with water. Place

the hose in the tank and use either the supplied si- phon pump or the USB pump and a bucket of water to ll the tank. Pay attention to the lling 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

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.

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

• Always ll 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 chlo- rine 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 ll the tank to a maximum of the „Max“ mark. Never overll the tank beyond this! This will void the warranty (mini- mum = 8 litres / maximum = 16 litres).

• The resistance during rowing depends on the ll level of the tank. Filling level 1 means the lowest resistance when rowing, level 9 is the highest resistance. A B PLUG PLUG Level indicator Siphon- pump Siphonpump37

3. Push yourself backwards. The back and legs are stretched at the same time and the body slowly

opens as the seat slides back. EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS Rowing is a very eective 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 x them with the Velcro. Grasp the handles.

2. Assume the start position, leaning forward with arms outstretched and bending the legs.

4. 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 rst learn the correct sequence and the rhythm of movement. You can increase the speed and resistance later.38 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 addition- ally 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 your- self 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. Toe Touch Hamstring Stretch Inner Thigh Stretch Calf-Achilles Stretch Side Stretch

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

on, please push the seat all the way forward to the nal position!40 USING APPS
