CONGRATULATIONS
Assembly of your Elite Wave Rower Machine is now complete! Be sure to fully inspect your
machine before using it for the rst me.
Failure to visually check and test and tech the assembly before use can cause damage to the
Elite Wave Rower and serious injury to users and bystanders and can also compromise the
eecveness of your exercise program.

15WAVE ROWER MACHINE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
At least once a year, the cover on your rowing machine should be removed and any dust or debris
vacuumed up to maintain the smooth operaon of the drive system. Contact the Elite Fitness
Service Department for further informaon on servicing your rowing machine.
Prolong the life of your rower by performing periodic maintenance checks. Not only does this
ensure your machine is in full working order to ensure they connue to run smoothly and reliably,
but it will save you service costs in the long run.
Water Treatment
It is recommended that the water in your Wave Rower should be either replaced annually or
a Chlorine/Water Purication Tablet used every 6 months to keep the water treated and clean.
This will prevent the water from appearing cloudy or discoloured.
Cleaning
General cleaning of the unit aer use will protect the rowers powder-coated framework and
prevent unnecessary corrosion stains and damage to the structural components from sweat and
perspiraon. During this me check for any cracks and damage.
Guide Rail:
This area needs aenon every week. It needs to be kept free of dust and debris. If the wheels roll
over dust and debris it ingrains itself in either the wheel or the rail itself. Over me this will pit the
wheels or guide rail making for a bumpy workout.
Chain:
If you have a chain aached to your rowing handle once every 6 months you should give it a light
oiling. The chain should be free of build-up before re-greasing if it is dirty use an automove
degreaser and paper towel to remove the build-up.
To oil the chain; pull the chain to its full extent and while holding the handle use a clean paper
towel to rub lubricant along the length of the chain. 3 in 1 oil or 20W motor oil are recommended.
About 1 teaspoon of lubricant is plenty.

Warm up exercise is important in preparing the muscles for acvity whilst minimising the risk
of injury. You may choose to warm up with a light/brisk walking pace for 5-10 minutes before
stopping and performing some simple stretches. (As shown in the pictures below)
— Hamstring Stretch (Standing) Keep your knees slightly bent and slowly lean forward, back
and shoulders relaxed, reaching towards your toes. You should feel the tension and slight
discomfort in your hamstring muscles. Hold for 15-20 seconds.
Repeat 2-3 mes.
— Hamstrings Stretches (Seated) Sing on the oor preferably on
a mat, put one leg straight, the other inward and close to the
inside of the straight leg. Lean forward from the hips, reaching
towards your toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3
mes for each leg (See picture 2).
— Crus and Feet Tendon Stretches Standing with two hands on
the wall or tree, one leg behind. Keeping your legs straight and
the heel on the ground, lean forward towards the wall or tree.
Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for each leg
(See picture 3).
— Quadriceps Stretches Keeping your balance with your le hand
holding onto a wall or staonery xture, grasp your right foot
with your right hand and stretch your right heel toward your
buocks slowly, unl you feel the stretch in the front of your
thigh. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for
each leg (See picture 4).
— Sartorius (Inner Muscles of the Thigh) Muscle
— Stretches Sing down with the soles of your feet or shoes
together and your knees posioned outward. Pull your feet
towards your groin unl you can feel the stretch. Hold for 10-15
seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes (See picture 5).
WARM-UP EXERCISE

19WAVE ROWER MACHINE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
ROWING TECHNIQUES
The Rowing Acon uses 84% of your muscle mass; from the ps of the ngers holding the handle,
to the balls of the feet connected to the footboard, all the muscles between these 2 points
contribute to the Rowing Acon.
The Rowing Acon is comprised of both fast (drive phase) and slow (recovery phase) movements.
It is important to combine these 2 movements into a rhythm in order to create a smooth, owing,
unhurried Rowing Acon. The diagrams below show 3 basic movements of the rowing acon.
CATCH POSITION
Sing tall, arms straight reaching forward,
shoulders relaxed, head up, eyes looking
forward, legs compressed and shins vercal.
DRIVE PHASE
Drive back with the legs, arms hang o the
handle and only begin to bend once handle
is above the knees, torso is strong with good
posture and body angle opens up slowly as
you drive the legs.
RELEASE POSITION
Legs straight, handle drawn to chest, sing
back just past the vercal, torso rm,
shoulders relaxed, head up and eyes looking
forward.
Allow yourself the rst few rowing sessions to pracce the correct posions and phases as well as
the correct rao and rhythm of the rowing acon. With regular rowing, the technique will become
easier and you will soon experience the physiological benets of rowing.

Cardiovascular training plays an important part in maintaining a healthy heart and lung funcon, so
it’s no surprise we should be paying aenon to how quickly our heart beats during exercise. The
chart above outlines a range of heart rate training zones determined by the individual’s age and
workout goals to ensure you train safely and eecvely.
Heart Rate can be measured by using the radial (wrist) or carod (neck) pulse using your index and
middle ngers, counng the beats for 10 seconds and mulplying by 6. Alternavely, the use of a
Wireless Telemetry Heart Rate strap and watch will give you an accurate Beats Per Minute (BPM)
reading.
220 – AGE = TMHR (Theorecal Maximum Heart Rate)
TMHR x 85% = (Upper Training Limit) bpm (Beats per Minute)
TMHR x 65% = (Lower Training Limit) bpm
Note: Contact heart rate may provide inaccurate readings and is designed only as a guide
Example: 220 – 39 = 181 bpm
181 x 85% (0.85) = 154 bpm (Upper Training Limit)
181 x 65% (0.65) = 118 bpm (Lower Training Limit)
