If the console feels loose or does not stay in place when it is moved up or down or from side to side, see HOW TO ADJUST THE CONSOLE PIVOT AND TILT on page 26.

HOW TO ROW ON THE ROWER

Sit on the seat, place your feet in the footrests, and adjust the straps to fit your feet. Then, hold the row bar with an overhand grip.

Correct rowing form consists of three phases:

1. The first phase is the CATCH. Slide the seat forward until your knees are almost touching your chest. Pull the row bar until your hands are directly above your feet.

2. The second phase is the DRIVE. Push backward with your legs. Lean back slightly at the hips (not at the waist), keeping your back straight. As you straighten your legs, pull the row bar toward your chest. Keep your elbows outward.

3. The third phase is the FINISH. Your legs should be nearly straight. Continue to pull the row bar until your hands are even with your chest.

After the finish phase, extend your arms forward and pull the seat forward using your legs. Repeat this sequence, moving through all three phases with a smooth, fluid motion. Remember to breathe normally as you row; never hold your breath.

HOW TO ADJUST THE CONSOLE PIVOT AND TILT

If the console feels loose or does not stay in place when it is moved from side to side, first remove the Mount Cover (12). Next, use the included tool to slightly tighten the M25 Locknut (17) until the console stays in place when moved from side to side. Then, press the Mount Cover back into place.

If the console feels loose or does not stay in place when it is tilted upward and downward, first use a standard screwdriver to pry off the Upper and Lower Console Covers (22, 23).

(Note: For clarity, the console is not shown in the drawing at the right.) Tighten the four M6 x 16mm Screws (96) in the Rear Bracket Mount (10) until the upward and downward movement no longer feels loose. Tilt

the console upward and downward to access the Screws. Then, reattach the Upper and Lower Console Covers (22, 23).

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, first unplug the power adapter.

Next, remove the Row Bar (19) from the Row Bar Hook (88). Then, remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (107) from the Flywheel Cover (86). Pivot the Flywheel Cover upward and remove it from the rower.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (67). Turn the Flywheel (60) until a Flywheel Magnet (81) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Then, slightly loosen the two indicated M4 x 16mm Screws (107), slide the Reed

Switch slightly closer to or away from the Flywheel Magnet, and then retighten the Screws.

Plug in the power adapter, and then turn the Flywheel (60) so that the Flywheel Magnet (81) passes the Reed Switch (67) repeatedly. Repeat the actions described above until the console displays correct feedback.

When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the parts that you removed.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If you feel the strap slip while you are rowing, even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive belt, first unplug the power adapter.

Next, see assembly step 8 on page 10. Remove the Right and Left Neck Shields (77, 78) from the rower.

Next, remove the Row Bar (19) from the Row Bar Hook (88). Note: For clarity, the console is not shown in the drawing below.

Then, remove the Flywheel Cover (86), the Strap Cover (87), the Front Cover (79), the Bottom Cover (80), and the Right and Left Shields (75, 76) from the rower. To locate the screws that attach each part, see EXPLODED DRAWING A on page 34. IMPORTANT: There are different sizes of screws. Make sure to note which size of screw you remove from each hole.

Note: You will need the help of a second person to tip the rower to the side so that you can access the Bottom Cover (80).

Next, locate the Drive Belt (99) on the right side of the rower. Loosen the two M10 x 20mm Screws (101). Next, tighten the M10 x 55mm Set Screw (42) until the Drive Belt is tight. Then, tighten the two M10 x 20mm Screws.

When the Drive Belt (99) is tight, reattach the parts that you removed.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

165	155	145	140	130	125	115
145	138	130	125	118	110	103
125	120	115	110	105	95	90
20	30	40	50	60	70	80

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart rate, exercise for at least four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the

Line drawing of two hands clasped together, no text or symbols present

result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise; never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
