IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ
Failure to read and follow the safety instructions below may result in injury.
Medical / Safety
Read this Owner's Manual safety instructions thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the VR500 Rower before using Pro it.
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. He or she can help evaluate your present fitness level and determine the exercise program that is the most appropriate for your age and physical condition.
If you experience any pain or tightness in your chest, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, faintness, or unusual discomfort upon exercising, stop and consult a physician.
Adult supervision is required at all times when children are on or near the VR500 Rower. Unsupervised children Pro should keep away from the equipment at all times.
Keep fingers and limbs, loose clothing and hair away from moving parts.
Before each workout on your VR500 Rower we advise Pro that a Precautionary Safety Check is wise. All equipment should be Safety Checked for wear and damage. If you find any damage or defective components STOP using the VR500 Pro Rower IMMEDIATELY. Replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repaired. For repair help - see General Information on this page.
Care should be taken when getting ON or OFF your VR500 Pro Rower. Please follow the instructions on page 4.
Wear comfortable, lightweight, well-ventilated clothing to help sweat evaporate. Make sure your shoes fit you properly and provide external and lateral stability support to prevent ankle and knee injuries. Wear cross-training, walking or running shoes.
It's very important not to become dehydrated. Your body needs water lost during exercise.
Don't forget to warm-up and cool-down. Limbering up "cold" muscles and cooling down after exercise are important injury-prevention measures.
Use only the accessory attachments recommended by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to modify or alter your VR500 Pro Rower as injury may result.
Care and Maintenance
Your VR500 Pro Rower is made of the highest quality materials. It is still important that you take care of your VR500 Pro Rower on a regular basis.
Your VR500 Pro Rower is for indoor use only and should NOT be used or stored in damp areas. Wipe all perspiration from your VR500 Pro Rower after each use.
For safety, inspect your VR500 Pro Rower on a regular basis. When used in a light commercial environment safety check and clean every day. When used in a domestic environment safety check and clean before use.
Components most Susceptible to Wear SEAT ROLLERS - ALUMINUM BEAM [part#001,118]
These parts are easily damaged by dust and dirt and should be cleaned regularly. The SEAT ROLLERS [118] are hidden so all you can do is clean the ALUMINUM BEAM [001]. Using a damp cloth wipe the top of the ALUMINUM BEAM [001]. Pay special attention to the outside edges. Check and remove any black spots.
DRIVE STRAP [part#709]
The DRIVE STRAP [709] is made of high quality nylon webbing which is extremely strong making it almost impossible to break. Even so it is important to check the DRIVE STRAP [709] for wear. Check for nicks or cuts and fraying that may weaken the integrity. Also check that the stitching at the handle bar end is intact. If any of these symptoms are found discontinue use immediately and contact your dealer for a replacement DRIVE STRAP [709].
FOOT REST Assembly
[part#016,027,143,147,314A,367,386A,710]
The FOOT REST Assembly has alot of moving parts. It is essential that these parts be in good condition at all times. Check that the FOOT STRAP BUCKLE firmly holds the FOOT STRAP. Check that the HEEL REST[143] HEEL REST HOLDER[147] self locking system is working correctly. Make sure that all Bolts are tight and firm. If any defects are found discontinue use immediately and contact your dealer for replacement parts.
All FASTENERS [Nuts, Bolts, and Screws]
Regularly inspect all Nuts, Bolts and Screws to insure they are tight and firm.
General Information
The VR500 Pro Rower is designed for Residential and Light commercial use ONLY and should not be used in a full commercial, therapeutic or medical environment.
The official maximum load is 350 lbs or 150kg.
The VR500 Pro Rower has been tested and certified according to EN 957-1 and EN 957-7, Class S.A.
In the unlikely event that your VR500 Pro Rower needs servicing, repairs or something is missing or broken then contact your dealer as soon as possible. They should be able to help you immediately with any and all problems you have. You can also contact us directly at 800-990-5556 or email us at service@bodycraft.com.
It is important to keep your purchase receipt!
You may be asked to produce it too authenticate your Warranty.
DO NOT attempt to modify or alter your VR500 Pro Rower as it will be considered tampering and will invalidate your warranty.
Please continue to read the Owner's Manual and all safety instructions thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the VR500 Pro Rower before using it.
DESIGNERS NOTE: The return spring on the VR500 Pro Rower has been designed with the lightest possible force. There is more than sufficient spring tension to recoil the DRIVE STRAP ASSEMBLY [709] regardless of the return speed of the handle to the start position.
This gives the user an improved level of exercise by increasing the benefit to the hamstring group of muscles at the rear of the thigh. This muscle group is called upon when the user moves the seat forward.
We have faithfully duplicated the "normal" rowing action one would get when rowing on water where the oar is not pulled forward.
FOR SERVICE: Please contact your local dealer or directly at 800-990-5556. You may also send an email to service@bodycraft.com.

USING/OPERATING YOUR Bodycraft VR500 Pro Rower
Unfolding
Make enough space for the VR500 Pro Rower by clearing a workout area 3.3 x 8.5 feet before setting up your VR500 Pro Rower taking care to ensure the floor is solid and level.
NOTE: While inserted, the FOLD SAFETY PIN prevents the unit from being folded or unfolded. The #028 Fold Foot Lever will still move down when pressed, but the unit will not unlock to allow the unit to be folded or unfolded until you have removed the SAFETY PIN.

![hold down until the ALUMINUM BEAM [001] is vertical 028 ②](/content/2026/05/957668/images/1103d26095db2bd4889d70bf1bf97640e8f776c02b9d65858347491ff489393a.jpg)


1) With the VR500 Pro Rower in the folded position, remove the FOLD SAFETYPIN [617].
2) With a firm grasp of the ALUMINUM BEAM [001] depress the FOLD - FOOT LEVER [028] down releasing the safety lock allowing the ALUMINUM BEAM [001] to be laid down flat.
3) With the VR500 Pro Rower in the flat position, reinsert the FOLD SAFETY PIN [617] to ensure young children CANNOT fold the rower.
WARNING: When unfolding and folding the VR500 Pro Rower, keep finger and hands away from folding hinge points to avoid serious injury.
Getting on Safely
Getting on safely is a simple procedure. Just be careful that the SEAT [119] is directly underneath you before sitting down.

2) Correctly position the SEAT [119] beneath you.
3) Sit down taking care that the SEAT [119] has not moved.
USING/OPERATING YOUR Bodycraft VR500 Pro Rower
Heel Rest Adjustment
There are six heel rest settings numbered 1\~5 and the 6th setting is the maximum setting that is not marked but there is a "STOP" to ensure you do not pull the Heel Rest completely out by mistake. We suggest that you memorize the correct Heel Rest Setting and adjust the Heel Rest before you place your feet.

natural_image
Person adjusting a mechanical component with a white strip, labeled '1st METHOD' and number '143' (no readable text or symbols on the main subject)
1) Lift the top of the HEEL REST [143] to release the locking mechanism.
2) Push the bottom of the HEEL REST [143] and slide to your desired position.
3) Release the HEEL REST [143] making sure that the two HEEL REST HOLES line up with the two pins securely locking the HEEL REST [143] in place.
Foot Strap Adjustment
A very common mistake is to place the FOOT STRAP [710] too high across your foot. This can cause pain and injury over the long-term and will loosen the FOOT STRAP [710] during exercise. It is important that the FOOT STRAP [710] crosses over the 'ball of your foot' just below your toes.


1) Slide your foot under the FOOT STRAP [710] then down fully into the HEEL REST [143].
2) Check to make sure the FOOT STRAP [710] is in the correct position across the ball of your foot.
3) Firmly pull the end of the FOOT STRAP [710] to ensure a light fit.
Computer Angle Adjustment
The COMPUTER [714] and COMPUTER ARM [015] are designed to rotate and pivot giving you adjustment to height and angle.
NOTE: For safety reasons, whilst exercising avoid the DRIVE STRAP [709] touching the COMPUTER [015].


1) Hold the COMPUTER [015] with both hands and rotate and pivot the COMPUTER [714] to the desired height and angle. NOTE: For safety reasons, whilst exercising avoid the DRIVE STRAP [709] touching the COMPUTER [015].

Always carefully place it back into the HANDLEBAR HOLDER. Damage to these components as a result of improper use is considered abuse and will not be covered under warranty.
Handlebar Remote
The HANDLEBAR REMOTE is shipped with the plastic tab preventing the battery from supplying power to the remote to ensure good battery life out of the box. To engage the battery simply remote the PLASTIC TAB and discard.


1) Remove the PLASTIC TAB to engage the battery by pulling in the direction of the printed arrow.
2) You can use the remote to set up your program and to control resistance during exercise, please refer to the computer portion of the manual.

Transportation and Storage
The VR500 Pro Rower is fitted with TRANSPORTATION WHEELS making it fairly simple for one person to move it by themselves. The VR500 Pro Rower is a large rowing machine that weights 46kg (101lbs) so you may require help when moving it around depending on your size and strength.

NOTE: Your heart rate is an excellent indicator of the amount of stress placed on the cardiovascular system. Your target heart rate, the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily on your age and not your state of fitness. It is calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, estimated as 220 minus your age. In order to get the most accurate reading, it is recommended to enter your age before your workout. To select a target heart rate is optimal for you, refer to the TARGET HEART RATE CHART.
IMPORTANT: Always consult with your physician before beginning any HRC program. While increasing your heart rate is an important part of exercise, it is also critical that your heart rate is not too high. Start from lower target range and slowly increase your target as your fitness level improves.

This computer is equipped with a built-in receiver that uses the international standard 5 kHz bandwidth for your heart rate monitoring. Your heart rate signal will only register on the computer if you are wearing a compatible chest belt. Please follow the instructions with your optional chest belt for proper operation.
(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equipment or there is other electronics nearby, such as TV, Radio...)

Calculating your Target Heart Rate (T.H.R.)
Your optimal heart rate range during exercise is referred to as your training zone. To achieve the most effective results you should perform your exercise within your training zone. Refer to the TARGET HEART RATE CHART to calculate your T.H.R at 60%,75%,85% of your suggested training zone. We suggest you begin your workout program at the 60% T.H.R level and increase your T.H.R % as your fitness level improves. The Target Heart Rate formula is: 220 - age x T.H.R % (e.g.:220 -30 years old x 60% = T.H.R 114)

line
| AGE | 85% Sprint | 75% Run | 60% Jog | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10 | 180 | 160 | 125 | | 15 | 175 | 155 | 120 | | 20 | 170 | 150 | 115 | | 25 | 165 | 145 | 110 | | 30 | 160 | 140 | 105 | | 35 | 155 | 135 | 100 | | 40 | 150 | 130 | 95 | | 45 | 145 | 125 | 90 | | 50 | 140 | 120 | 85 | | 55 | 135 | 115 | 80 | | 60 | 130 | 110 | 75 | | 65 | 125 | 105 | 70 | | 70 | 120 | 100 | 65 | | 75 | 115 | 95 | 60 | | 80 | 110 | 90 | 55 | | 85 | 105 | 85 | 50 | | 90 | 100 | 80 | 45 | | 95 | 95 | 75 | 40 | | 99 | 90 | 70 | 35 |
WATT MODE
This program is controlled by the WATT goal user inputted. The WATT calculation is based on speed and workload. The computer will adjust the workload related to your stroke per minute and maintain your target WATT goal. The faster the speed is, the less workload it will be and vice versa.
In main screen, press (UP ▲/DOWN ▼) to select "WATTS" and press (OK) button to confirm. After user settings, user may adjust the WATT CONTROL value (default 100W with 5W increment) to the desired one. Once the program goal is set, the program will begin. During program, you may change the WATT CONTROL goal by pressing (UP ▲/DOWN ▼) button to the new setting.
