Frequently Asked Questions - ROWER-800F LifeSpan

How do I assemble the LifeSpan ROWER-800F?

The assembly is straightforward. Attach the front and rear stabilizers to the main frame, then connect the rail and seat. Slide the seat onto the rail and secure the handlebars. Install batteries in the monitor. Full instructions are in the manual.

How do I adjust the resistance on this rower?

Turn the resistance knob located on the front of the rower. There are 8 levels, from 1 (lightest) to 8 (heaviest). Increase for a harder workout.

What do the display metrics show?

The LCD shows time, distance, calories burned, stroke count, and heart rate (when using hand grip sensors). Press the MODE button to cycle through readings.

Can I fold the rower for storage?

Yes, the ROWER-800F is foldable. Lift the rail to lock it into an upright position. Use the transport wheels to move it easily. Unfold by releasing the lock.

How do I clean and maintain the rower?

Wipe the frame and seat with a damp cloth after each use. Check all bolts and screws monthly for tightness. Lubricate the rail if necessary. Store in a dry place.

Is the rower noisy during use?

The magnetic resistance system ensures quiet operation. Some sound from the pulling action is normal. If you hear squeaks, check for loose bolts or lubrication needs.

What is the maximum user weight?

The maximum user weight is 250 lbs (113 kg). Ensure the rower is on a level surface and all parts are secure.

How do I replace the batteries?

The monitor uses 2 AA batteries (included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the monitor, remove old batteries, and insert new ones with correct polarity.

Can I use the rower without the monitor?

V. EXERCISE GUIDE

! PLEASE NOTE:

Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.

So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

WARM UP

Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.

After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.

COOL DOWN

Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes.
