GETTING STARTED
SETUP THE AIR ROWER ASSEMBLY
0504
JOHNSON AIR ROWER W8000 JOHNSON AIR ROWER W8000
Read the Owners Manual before setting up the Johnson Fitness Air Rower. Place the air
rower in where they will be used before beginning the setup procedure.
MAKING A CHOICE OF SITE
The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Locate the Air Rower W8000 a structurally
solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has a heavy
plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base
under the unit.
Please do not place the Air Rower in an area of high humidity, such as the vicinity of a
steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could
adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a
desirable daily activity for you, the unit should be in an attractive setting.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST ROW
1) Consult your physician. Be sure that it is not dangerous for you to undertake a strenuous
exercise program.
2) Improper technique such as extreme layback or jumping off the seat can result in injury.
3) Start each workout with several minutes of easy rowing for a warm-up.
4) Start your exercise program gradually. Row no more than 5 minutes the first day to let
your body adjust to the new exercise.
5) Gradually increase your rowing time and intensity over the first two weeks. Do not row
at full power until you are comfortable with the technique and have rowed for at least a
week. Like any physical activity, if you increase the volume and intensity too rapidly, fail
to warm up properly, or use poor technique, you will increase the risk of injury.
6) The best resistance setting for a great cardiovascular workout is in the range of 3-5.
Rowing with the resistance setting too high can be detrimental to your training program
because it may reduce your output and increase your risk of injury.
7) Aim for a stroke rate (spm) of between 24 and 30 spm (strokes per minute).
