The pedals on your rowing machine are equipped with a special system to individually adjust the pedals to your
shoe size in just a few simple steps.
You should wear sports shoes suitable for rowing training. We recommend running shoes because of their
slightly curved shape which is ideal to allow foot movement during rowing.
Make sure that you do not over-tighten the shoes before training as this can lead to restricted blood circulation
during exercise.
Adjusting the Pedals
The fastening system of the pedals consists of two elements, length adjustment for the size of your shoes and
adjustable straps that secure the foot to the tread.
Step 1:
Press the two size locking buttons (A) and set the optimum position of the treads (45). In order to remember the
position easily and to be able to adjust quickly, the individual positions are numbered. Once you have found the
optimal size setting, release the locking buttons (A).
Step 2:
Place your feet on the treads and secure them by tightening the straps. Make sure that the straps secure your
feet rmly without being too tight.
Holding the feet securely is very important for the correct execution of rowing movements.
In order to move the body forward you need your feet to be rmly held in position.
The cockpit is powered by two AA batteries.
If the display in the cockpit fades or goes out, replace the batteries.
When disposing of used batteries, always observe the disposal instructions in this manual.
Before rst use or after a long break from training
Check that the rowing machine is safe. 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 clear of obstructions. Also check if the slide
rail is free of contaminants and foreign bodies.
Maintenance & Cleaning Intervals:
Clean the rowing machine after each training session with a damp cloth to remove possible perspiration and /
other liquid residues. Under no circumstances should you use solvents. Dry the cleaned area well.
To ensure smooth running, clean the roller guide of the seat in the aluminium slide rails regularly. MAXXUS
Lubricant Spray & MAXXUS Degreaser Spray are ideal for this.
Damage due to failure or lack of cleaning, maintenance and / or care is excluded from the warranty and
guarantee.
Costs for the repair of a badly maintained training device can quickly amount to several hundred euros. A high
price that can be avoided by regular care and maintenance.

RECOVERY - Recovery Heart Rate
To be able to use the recovery pulse measurement, an optionally available chest belt is required to measure the
heart rate.
If the user is wearing this chest belt, the current heart rate is shown in the PULSE window of the display and
measurement starts when the RECOVERY key is pressed after training is completed..
The time counts back 60 seconds in the TIME window. At the end of measurement, the cockpit compares the
starting pulse with the pulse value determined after 60 seconds and gives a rating.
F1 Very good
F2 Good
F3 Satisfactory
F4 Su󰀩cient
F5 Decient
F6 Unsatisfactory
CAUTION: Please note that while recovery pulse is being measured, no cockpit key should be pressed. This
can lead to a system error resulting in the display of the cockpit “freezing”. If this happens, usually the stand-
by screen (date, time and temperature) will be shown and the cockpit stops responding to inputs made on the
keypad.
To restart the cockpit, remove the batteries for about 10 to 20 seconds and then replace them. It may now be
necessary to re-enter the time and date values.

Heart Rate Monitoring
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

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.
A large number of MAXXUS® training devices are tted with a wireless receiver as standard.
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 strap
directly from the skin.
The chest strap 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 during use heart rate controlled pro-
grams.
WARNING
The determination of the current heart rate by means of the chest strap 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 the most suitable training programme for you. Create and implement your exercise plan 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.

there is a risk of crushing. Secure long hair so that it cannot catch in the rollers
during exercise.
−Rowing is a very intense form of training. Before you start rowing training we recom-
mend that you take a health check with your doctor, especially advisable for users
with a low level of tness or after a long break from training.
−Always hold the rowing handle with both hands during exercise, never row with just
one hand. Always ensure a rm, secure grip.
−Always pull the rowing handle straight and bring it straight back.
Never twist the rope as this may damage the device.
− When you nish your workout, do not let go of the grip. Put it carefully in one of the
two brackets.
−When storing the unit always make sure that the rowing machine and its parts are
secured against falling over. Always store it so that it does not can be damaged.
