sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily - at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and speed can be increased gradually.
Short sequences at heavy load increase maximum strength and muscular mass, longer sequences at a lighter load trim the body and develop stamina.
ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
To increase or decrease resistance, turn the adjustment knob clockwise (+ direction) to increase resistance and counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease resistance. The scale of the knob helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.
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.
SERVICE
The rower requires a minimum of maintenance. From time to time, check that all fixing screws and nuts are securely tightened. Clean the device with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents. Check the condition of the wire before every training session.
If you notice any defects or malfunctions in the device during the use, contact your dealer immediately.
In spite of continuous quality control, individual defects and malfunctions may occur due to individual components. It is in most cases unnecessary to take the whole rowing machine for repair, as it is usually sufficient to replace the defective part.
CHANGING BATTERIES
If there are only weak or no figures on display, change the batteries (2 x 1,5 V AA). Dismount the meter from the frame and disconnect the meter and the cables. Open the meter cover and change the batteries. Replace the back cover, reconnect the cables and fasten the meter to the frame.
STORAGE
Move the rowing machine according to the following instruction: stand behind the device and grip the rail with one hand and the seat with the other. Tilt the device so that is rests on the transportation wheels. Move the device by wheeling it on transportation wheels. Lower the device onto floor while holding on to the rail and the seat,all the time remaining behind the device.
NOTE: Follow the moving instructions because lifting the device incorrectly may strain your back or cause other risk of accidents.
To prevent malfunctioning of the machine, keep it in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible, protected from dust.
To minimize the strain on the resistance mechanism, we recommend that the resistance adjustment knob is set to position 0 after every training session.
