(2) 3/8” (.95 cm)
PN 2239
Be sure that caster wheels point back, as shown in
the photo of the assembled Dynamic Indoor Rower
on page 8. Install the two screws and tighten
snugly. See photo A.
Step 3: Install Shuttle Channel
(3) 3/8” (.95 cm)
PN 2239
Position the foot carriage and handle away from the
flywheel and on either side of the flywheel return
assembly with about equal lengths of the drive cord
leading to each part. See photo B.
Note: The drive cord is a single cord that is attached
to the handle on one end and the foot carriage on
the other end.
Important: Pull shuttle down
by pulling on drive cord so that
the shuttle lies flat on the return
mechanism box. The drive cord
should be routed around the
pulley as shown. See photo C.
Position the shuttle channel with the slot facing up,
and the flange to the flywheel side. The end with
four holes in it should be away from the flywheel.
Place the outstretched drive cord through the slot
into the shuttle channel so that the foot carriage and
the handle are on either side of the shuttle channel
as shown. See photo D.
Slide the shuttle channel into the rear leg with the
shuttle positioned inside the shuttle channel. See
illustration E. Be sure the drive cord going to the
handle and foot carriage are not twisted around
each other.

Start all three 3/8” screws through the flange of the
shuttle channel into the corresponding threaded holes
in the return mechanism box. Do not fully tighten the
screws until all three screws are in place. See photo F.
Step 4: Attach Rail Assembly to Flywheel Assembly
Note: It will be helpful to have a second person
assist with this step.
(4) 3/8” (.95 cm)
PN 2239
Place the rail assembly as shown in photo G. Lift the
front end of the rail assembly up so that the bottom
lies flat against the top of the rear leg.
Start all four screws into the threaded holes. Do not
fully tighten the screws until all four screws are in
place. See photo H.
Step 5: Attach Seat Bungee
(1) 1 3/8” (3.49 cm)
PN 2228
Insert the screw through the round
seat bungee anchor and into the rear
leg. See photo I.
Hint: You will need to put tension on
the seat bungee to align the screw
with the threaded hole.
Step 6:
Slide Foot Carriage onto Rail Assembly
Slide the foot carriage onto rail
assembly as shown in photo J, making
sure the drive cord attachment to the
foot carriage extends through the slot
and into the shuttle channel.

Pull the handle all the way out (away from the
flywheel) so that the drive cord is stretched out
straight in the shuttle channel. This action will cause
the foot carriage to move toward the flywheel.
See photo K. Again, be sure the drive cord going to
the handle and foot stretcher are not twisted around
each other.
Hint: Look into the open end of the shuttle channel
to ensure the drive cord is routed properly. The drive
cord attached to the handle should lay on the “floor”
of the shuttle channel.
Step 7: Install Rail Assembly End Stop
(2) 1/2” (1.27 cm) PN 2227
(1) x Rail Assembly end stop w/2 nuts
Install the rail assembly end stop on the underside
of the rail assembly. Be sure nuts are oriented down
toward the floor. See photo L.
Step 8: Attach Front Leg/Monitor Arm Assembly
(8) 1 3/8” (3.49 cm)
PN 2228
Note: You may need a second person to assist you
with aligning the holes.
Position the front leg/monitor arm assembly at end of
the shuttle channel and rail assembly. Lift the shuttle
channel and rail assembly up with one hand and slide
them between the two front legs taking care that the
handle is extended fully and the drive cord is routed
through the underside of the pulley. Take care not
to pinch the drive cord between the pulley guides
and the end of the shuttle channel. See photo M.
Hint: Insert one 20-penny nail through the top
fastener hole into the rail assembly and one 20-penny
nail through the top fastener hole into the shuttle
channel to temporarily align all fastener holes. Note
that these nails will be replaced with the screws. See
photo N.
Once you have the parts aligned, insert screws but
do not fully tighten until all eight screws are in place.
Note that you may need to jostle the rail assembly
and shuttle channel to get the screws started.

Step 9: Install the Generator Cable
Uncoil the black installation leader tape by removing
the blue tape. DO NOT remove the white tape on
the end.
At the back end of the shuttle channel near the
flywheel, feed the white-taped end of the black
installation leader tape through the hole in the
underside of the rail assembly. See photo P.
Feed it all the way through the rail assembly until it
comes out the other end. See photo Q.
Partially unwrap the white tape
and wrap it around the generator
cable plug, covering the plug.
See photo R.
Pull the black installation leader tape (with the
generator cable attached) back through the
rail assembly until it comes out the hole in the
underside of the rail assembly. See photo S.
Detach the installation leader tape from the
generator cable and plug the generator cable into
the black generator on the flywheel. See photo T.
Be careful to position so the retainer clip is as
shown in the drawing.
Note: When unplugging the generator cable from
generator, a small tool may be required to depress
the retainer clip.

Pull the handle toward the foot carriage until it can be
placed in the foot carriage handle hook. See photo V.
Insert the front leg end cap over open end of front leg,
where monitor arm joins the leg. Insert screws all the
way until the screw head meets the end cap. Even
though the screws will continue to spin, they are as
tight as they need to be. See photo W.

Additional Notes
Setting the Level of the Dynamic Indoor Rower
The Dynamic Indoor Rower should be approximately level for the moving components to work properly.
Use the front foot leveling screws to fine tune the level as follows:
Have a friend watch you row:
• Iftheseattendstostretchthebungeemoretothefrontofthemachinethantherearwhilerowing,raise
the front of the Dynamic Indoor Rower by turning both front foot leveling screws clockwise several turns.
• Iftheseattendstostretchthebungeemoretotherearofthemachinethanthefrontwhilerowing,
lower the front of the Dynamic Indoor Rower by turning both front foot leveling screws counter-clockwise
several turns.
Handle Return Tension
The design of the Dynamic Indoor Rower has allowed us to reduce the handle return tension significantly
compared to our Model D and E. Handle return tension, inherent in erg rowing, is not something we
experience in the boat. We therefore view the lower tension that can be achieved with this design as a
positive feature. The tension is set low when we ship the Dynamic Indoor Rower and we suggest rowing
with it like this for a while before choosing to tightening the bungee if you really want it to feel “more like an
erg.” See page 16 of the User Manual for directions.
