There is of course a direct link between rowing and the element of water. The OCEAN ROWER is therefore the
ideal training device on which to implement your rowing training realistically as it provides a realistic simulation
of rowing on water.
The user work load is regulated by the user themselves. Rowing speed is determined by number of rowing
strokes per minute and the pulling power. To increase or decrease the speed of the rowing boat, the rower must
increase or decrease the pulling power and or the number of strokes per minute. This way the user can adjust
their rowing training according to their own current tness level. Even your form on any particular day can deter-
mine the work load.
The advantage of rowing above other types of endurance sports is that it uses almost 80% of all body muscles
and the calorie consumption with rowing is signicantly higher.
Water Tank
The resistance when rowing with the OCEAN ROWER is created by water. The water tank needs to be lled for
this. We recommend using plain tap water for doing this. Tap water contains all the necessary additives to avoid
any build-up of algae. These additives have been removed from distilled or any otherwise puried or ltered
water which could cause a build-up of algae in the water in the short or mid-term. After lling immediately add
a water treatment tablet to the tank. Do not at any time use any chlorine bleach or chlorine used for swimming
pools. This can damage the device tank.
Replace the water in the tank every 6 months and add a water treatment tablet to the tank each time you do
this.
Water Tank Display and Filling Amount
On the water tank there is a water level scale showing 6 di󰀨erent levels of lling. The amount of water lled sim-
ulates or changes the relative weight or size of the boat. The lling amount has no e󰀨ect on the resistance but
on the mass which the rower has to move. A smaller lling amount represents then a smaller, lighter boat and
the maximum lling amount at level 6 represents a large and heavy boat.
CAUTION:
Please ensure that the current lling level of water never goes below Level 1 or above Level 6. This can cause
signicant and serious damage to the training device.
Summary of the Filling Levels:
−Level 1 = 8.5 litres
−Level 2 = 9.5 litres
−Level 3 = 10.5 litres
−Level 4 = 11.1 litres
−Level 5 = 11.9 litres
−Level 6 = 12.8 litres

For the rowing machine to stand safely and securely, the front and rear stands are equipped with two adjustable
feet (59). With these it is possible to level out the device and compensate for any slight unevenness in the oor.
Screw all adjustable feet (59) as far as they will go into the two stands. Now all adjustable feet (59) are at the
same level to start from. Put the rowing machine in the desired location and check to see if it is stable and
standing securely on the oor. If it is slightly wobbly, unscrew the appropriate adjustable foot until the device
is stable. If the oor in the chosen location is so uneven that the wobbling cannot not be regulated using the
adjustable feet, then you must select another location which is much more even for your rowing machine.
This rowing machine is tted with transport rollers (36) on the rear stand to make it easy for you to transport
it. To push the rowing machine into another location, lift the front stand far enough up until the transport rollers
are touching the oor. Now you can push or pull the device into the desired new location. Lower the rear stand
gently onto the oor.
Make sure when lifting, transporting and putting down the device that you have a secure footing and that you
hold onto it rmly.

Selecting a good location and storage space
Please choose a dry, level and temperate place to locate and store your training device. In your own interests
make sure that the selected training area is well ventilated to provide you with optimal oxygenation.
The use or storage in damp or wet areas, such as saunas, swimming pools, etc. and in outdoor areas such as
balconies, terraces, gardens, garages, etc. is excluded.
High humidity and low temperatures prevailing in such locations lead to defects in the electronics, corrosion and
rust. Damage of this kind is not covered under the warranty.
Before using the device after a longer period of non-use, make sure that all the xing materials are tted correct-
ly and securely tightened.
Location & Storage

14
Your rowing machine is equipped with a special support system for your feet.
You should wear suitable sports shoes for rowing training. We recommend running shoes because they are
ideal for foot movement during rowing due to their slightly curved shape.
Make sure that you do not over-tighten the shoes before training as this is can restrict circulation during exercise
and cause numbness in the feet.
Adjusting the Foot Straps
The feet are secured to the foot pedals using the straps on the foot support system.
Step 1:
Undo the Velcro fastenings on the straps.
Step 2:
Place your feet on the pedals and x them by tightening the straps. Make sure that they hold your feet rmly but
do not pull them too tight. Close the Velcro fasteners.
Fastening the feet rmly is very important for the correct execution of the rowing movement. In order to move
your body forwards you need a rm hold on your feet.
The cockpit is powered by two batteries type AA. If the display on the cockpit should become weak or go out
completely, replace these batteries with new ones. Please observe the disposal instructions included in this
manual when you dispose of the old batteries.
The battery compartment is on the back of the cockpit. Make sure that you put the batteries the right way around
in the battery compartment.
Before rst use or after a long break from training
Check if the rowing machine is standing safely. There must be no objects on or under the device.
Make sure that all screws are tight and the sliding area of the seat is completely clear. Also check if the slide rail
is free of contaminants and foreign bodies.
Maintenance & Cleaning Intervals:
Clean the rowing machine after each workout with a damp cloth to remove possible perspiration and other liquid
residues. Under no circumstances should you use solvents. Dry any damp areas thoroughly.
To ensure optimal smooth running of the seat, clean the seat, roller guides and aluminium slide rails regularly.
Damage due to failure or lack of cleaning, maintenance and / or care is excluded from the warranty and
guarantee.

Heart & Pulse Rate
Calculating your personal heart rate when training
Calculate your personal heart rate when training as follows:
220 - Age = maximum heart rate
This value represents your maximum heart rate and serves as a basis from which to calculate
your personal training heart rate. Set the calculated heart rate at 100%
Wellness and Health - target zones = 50 to 60% of the maximum heart rate.
This training zone is ideally suitable for people who are over-weight and/or older beginners, or people starting again after a longer
break from training. Training in this zone the body will burn approx. 4-6 calories per minute to produce energy.
The percentage ratio per calorie is approx. 70% fat, 25% carbohydrate, and 5% protein.
Fat burning - target zone = 60 to 70% of the maximum heart rate
This training zone is suitable for athletes and sports people who aim to lose weight.
Training in this zone the body will burn approx. 6-10 calories per minute to produce energy.
The percentage rate per calorie is approx. 85% fat,10% carbohydrate, and 5% protein.
Condition & Fitness - target zone = 70 to 80% of maximum heart rate
This training zone is ideally suitable for athletes and sports people who aim to improve their stamina and/or condition.
Training in this zone the body will burn approx. 10-12 calories per minute to produce energy.
The percentage rate per calorie is approx. 35% fat,60% carbohydrate, and 5% protein.
For optimum e󰀨ects in training results you should calculate the average value of the selected target zone (also see above table):
Wellness & Health - target zone average value = 55% of maximum heart rate
Fat burning - target zone average value = 65% of maximum heart rate
Kondition & Fitness - target zone average value = 75% of maximum heart rate

Heart & Pulse Rate
Warning about Pulse and Heart Rate Monitoring
WARNING
Pulse and heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Excessive training can cause serious injury or
death. If you feel unwell and / or faint, stop training immediately. Make sure that all users of your exercise device
are familiar with this information, understand it and apply it at all times.
Heart Rate Measurement using a Chest Belt
This training device is tted with a POLAR® compatible receiver for wireless heart rate measurement.
The use of a chest belt (we recommend the exclusive use of an uncoded POLAR® chest belt) allows you to
wirelessly measure heart rate. The chest belt is available as an accessory.
This optimal, ECG-accurate type of measurement takes the heart rate by means of a transmitter chest belt
directly from the skin.
The chest belt then sends the pulses via an electromagnetic eld to the built-in cockpit receiver.
We recommend always using a chest belt for heart rate measurement when using heart-rate controlled pro-
grams.
WARNING
The determination of the current heart rate by means of the chest belt serves only to display the current heart
rate during exercise. This value says nothing about the safe or e󰀨ective training heart rate. Also, this type of
measurement is in no way designed or suitable for medical diagnostic purposes. Therefore, discuss with your
family doctor what would be the most suitable training program for you to create and implement before you start
exercising.
This is especially true for persons:
−who have not been physically active for a long period of time
−are overweight
−are older than 35 years
−have high or low blood pressure
−have heart problems
If you are wearing a pacemaker or similar device, consult your medical specialist before using a heart rate chest
belt.
