CAUTION:
Before you perform any care, cleaning, maintenance, repair or similar work on your training
device, turn o󰀨 your exerciser and remove the power cord. Check before starting the planned
work that your exerciser is completely disconnected and switched o󰀨. Only when all work
is fully completed, and the device is completely re-assembled, may the training device to be
reconnected to the mains and turned on.
Before rst use or after a long break from training
Check that the rowing machine is standing safely on the ground. There must be no objects on or
under the device. Check that all screws and bolts are tightened up and that the seat is not blocked
anywhere along the main rowing rail. Also check that the rowing rail is clean and free from any
foreign objects.
Maintenance & Cleaning Intervals:
After each workout, clean the rowing machine with a damp cloth to remove possible perspira-
tion and / or other liquid residues. Under no circumstances use solvents for this purpose. Dry the
cleaned areas thoroughly. Always clean the aluminium slide rails regularly to ensure the seat slides
optimally and smoothly.
Damage caused by neglect or lack of maintenance and care are excluded from the Warranty
and Guarantee.
Costs for the repair of a non-maintained training device can therefore quickly amount to several
hundred Euros. A high price that can be avoided by regular care and maintenance

In the following you will nd instructions and tips to help you to do the rowing movements correctly.
Rowing Motion – complete body
Step 1: Preparation
Make sure that your feet are in positioned correctly on the pedals and that they are adjusted correct-
ly to t your shoe size with the straps rmly around your feet. Grasp the rowing handle from above
with both hands. Your hands should be approximately 20 cm apart.
Step 2: Starting Position
Lean forward with your upper body as far as possible with your knees bent.
Step 3:
Now use your feet to push yourself backwards.
Step 4: End Position
Push yourself far enough back with your feet so your knees are only slightly bent. CAUTION: Never
completely straighten your knees!
At the same time pull your arms towards you until your hands lightly touch your body just below your
ribcage in the region of your solar plexus. Straighten your body far enough for your back to be pulled
straight and pull your shoulders slightly back. CAUTION: Never bend your back too far backwards!
Step 5: Return to the Starting Position
Pull yourself forwards again with your feet and lean forwards with your upper body with your arms
stretched out in front of you.
Rowing Movement – Legs Only
Step 1: Preparation
Make sure that your feet are in positioned correctly on the pedals and that they are adjusted correct-
ly to t your shoe size with the straps rmly around your feet. Grasp the rowing handle from above
with both hands. Your hands should be approximately 20 cm apart.
Step 2: Starting Position
Lean forward with your upper body as far as possible with your knees bent.

Training Recommendations
Preparation Before Training
Before you start training make sure that not only your training device is in perfect condition, your body must also
be prepared for training. Therefore, if you have not done any endurance training for some time, you should con-
sult your GP and undergo a tness check-up. Also discuss your training target; they will certainly be able to give
you valuable advice and information. This applies to people who are over 35, have problems with overweight,
heart or circulatory system problems.
Training Plan
Essential to e󰀨ective, target orientated, and motivating training is to have a forward-looking trainings plan.
Plan your tness training as an integral part of your daily routine. If you don’t have a xed plan, training can
easily interfere with regular commitments or continually be put o󰀨 to another unspecied time.
If possible, create a long term monthly plan and not just from day to day or week to week. A training plan should
also include su󰀩cient motivation and distraction during training sessions. An ideal distraction is to watch TV
during training as this diverts your attention both visually and acoustically. Make sure that you reward yourself
and set realistic targets such as to losing 1 or 2kgs in four weeks or to increase your training time by 10 minutes
within two weeks for example. If you reach your targets, then reward yourself with a favourite meal which you
have not allowed yourself till then.
Warm-Up Before Training
Warm-up on your training device for 3-5 minutes at minimum resistance. This will best prepare your body for the
up-coming exertion in training.
Cool-Down After Training
Do not just get o󰀨 your training device immediately the training session is nished. Like with the warm-up stage
you should continue for 3-5 minutes at minimum resistance to cool down. After training you should stretch your
muscles thoroughly.
Front Thigh Muscles
Support yourself with your right hand against the wall or on your training device. Bend
your knee and raise your left foot backwards so you can hold it with your left hand. Your
knee should be pointing straight down to the oor. Pull your leg backwards until you feel
a light pulling in your thigh muscles. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let your foot
go and stand it back on the oor. Repeat the exercise with your right leg.
Inner Thigh Muscles
Sit on the oor. Pull the soles of your feet together in front of you raising your knees
slightly. Grasp the upper sides of your feet and place your elbows on your thighs. Press
your thighs down towards the oor with your arms until you feel a light pulling in your
thigh muscles. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Make sure to keep your upper
body straight throughout the exercise. Release the pressure from your thighs and slowly
stretch out your legs to the front. Stand up slowly steadily.
Legs, Calves and Buttocks
Sit on the oor. Stretch out your right leg and bend your left leg to place the sole of your
foot on your right thigh. Bend your top body over so you can stretch out your right hand
to touch your right toes. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let go of your toes and
sit slowly and steadily up straight again. Repeat this exercise with your left leg.
Leg and Lower Back Muscles
Sit on the oor with your legs stretched out. Stretch forward with your hands and try to
grasp the tips of your toes with both hands. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds. Let
go of your toes and slowly and steadily sit back up straight again.

18
Hydration
Adequate hydration is essential before and during exercise. During a training session of 30 minutes it is possible
to lose up to 1 litre of liquid. To compensate for this uid loss apple spritzer mixed in the ratio of one-third apple
juice to two-thirds mineral water is ideal since it contains electrolytes and minerals to replace those that the body
loses through sweat. You should drink about 330 ml 30 minutes before the beginning of your training session.
Take care to maintain balanced hydration during the workou.
Training Frequency
Experts recommend that you do endurance training 3-4 days a week to keep the cardiovascular system t. Of
course, the more you train, the faster you will achieve your set training goal. Note however,that you should plan
su󰀩cient training breaks during your workout plan, to give your body enough time for rest and regeneration.
After each training session you should take at least one day o󰀨. Also for that tness and endurance training:
Less is more!
Exercise Intensity
In addition to the mistake of exercising too often, mistakes are made in the intensity of the training. If your
training goal is to train for a triathlon or marathon, your training intensity will certainly be be high. But since most
people have training goals such as weight reduction, cardiac / exercise training, improvement of physical con-
dition, stress reduction, etc.to strive for, training intensity to meet these goals should be be adjusted. It makes
most sense to work with the appropriate heart rate for the respective training goal. The information on the heart
rate and the corresponding table in this manual will help you further.
Duration of the individual training session
For optimal endurance or weight reduction training, the duration of the individual training session should be be-
tween 25 and 60 minutes. Beginners and returnees should start with a low training period of 10 minutes or less
in the rst week and then slowly increase week by week.
Training Documentation
In order to design and evaluate your training e󰀨ectively, you should prepare yourself a training plan in written
form or as a computer table before starting your training
Here you should document training session. Data, such as distance, training time, brake force setting and pulse
values should be recorded as well as personal data, e.g. body weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate (meas-
ured morning immediately after waking up) and personal well-being during exercise.
Enclosed you will nd a recommendation for a weekly plan.

My training device makes noises during training – is this normal?
In addition to the air resistance braking system which creates construction and the air ow noises
when in use, noises also occur from the chain pulley. Your MAXXUS® training device is tted with
extremely high-quality components which ensure that all operating, air ow and chain noises are
greatly reduced.
However, it is possible and normal that slight mechanical noises can be heard during training. These
mechanical noises, which can occur either continually or at intervals, are created by the sometimes
very high speed of the sliding seat during training. Also, the moving parts can generate noise during
training due to the hollow metal tubes which act as a resonator and amplify the sound.
It is completely normal for the operating noise to get louder during training. This can be explained
by an increase in training speed. The components can also expand with the heat generated during
training.
The cockpit does not show anything in the display when I turn it on.
Check if the battery is charged and change them if necessary. Check if the control cable has been
pinched or jammed during assembly and / or if the connector has come loose.
The values for rowing strokes/minute and distance are at “0” during training
Check if the control cable has been pinched or jammed during assembly and / or if the connector
has come loose.
My training device makes creaking noises during training.
Check if the training device is standing rmly and evenly on the ground. If necessary re-adjust the
stabilizers.
My feet fall asleep during training.
The reason for this is often that training shoes are done up too tightly. Your feet will expand when
you are under exertion and so you should do up your shoes more loosely. You can also get advice
regarding this from sports shops or specialist running shoe shops.
