FRAME ASSEMBLY
Place the frame on the floor so that it faces upward and fit the head of the rail carefully in its place. Support the frame with one hand, set the fastening screws below the rail on their places and tighten them with fingers. Tilt the device in a horizontal position, open the footstraps and pull them aside, revieling the two holes for fastening screws. Place a screw and a sleeve on top of the allen key wrench and set them carefully in place. Tighten all screws with the allen key wrench and slip the footstraps back under the metal hooks on the sides of the frame.
SEAT ASSEMBLY
To mount the seat, use the four screws in the hardware kit to fix the seat to the carriage on the rail. The edges of the base plate should be inside the edges of the carriage. N.B. The sticker on the bottom of the seat shows the correct seat position.
ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
The rowing load can be stepplessly adjusted by the knob (fig.). The lightest, or the base load, is in use when the groove in the knob points to the mark on the frame. There are four other load levels marked on the knob, the heaviest, maximum load, being indicated by four grooves. The load is freely adjustable between the base and maximum load; the settings serve only as a guide.
In rowing machines with flywheel construction, stroke speed is at highest at the end of the rowing stroke with the body leaning slightly backwards and the arms flexed against the chest. The flywheel speed is also at its highest at this point. Stroke speed is at its lowest at the start of the rowing stroke. If you row at a very low resistance at a fast tempo, the flywheel will continue to rotate fast at the beginning of the rowing motion, and there may be an idle stroke. It is therefore recommended to use a higher resistance when the rowing tempo is very fast.
METER
The meter switches on automatically when you start rowing or press the
N.B. Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it may damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the meter from water and avoid severe impacts, as these may also damage the meter.
DISPLAYS
STROKES:
Counts rowed strokes upwards
TIME:
Shows time counted upwards
STROKES/MIN:
Number of strokes per minute
CALORIES:
Estimated total calorie consumption
Because different people’s capacity to produce energy (efficiency) varies, the energy consumption display shows only a rough approximation of the real consumption. This meter calculates the energy consumption on the basis of fixed and measured values.
