HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To vary the
intensity of your
exercise, you
can adjust the
resistance that
you feel when
you pull the row
bar. To increase
the resistance,
move the resis-
tance handle
toward the front
of the rower; to
decrease the
resistance, move the resistance handle toward the
rear of the rower.
HOW TO ADJUST THE FOOT PADS
First, sit on the seat and place your feet in the foot
pads.
Next, press the
footrest bracket,
slide the foot pad
to the desired
position, and
then release the
footrest bracket
so that the tab
engages a slot
in the foot pad.
Then, tighten the
strap over your foot.
Adjust the other foot pad in the same way. Make
sure to adjust both foot pads to the same position.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CONSOLE VIEWING ANGLE
To adjust the
console to the
desired viewing
angle, loosen
the knob in the
upright, move
the neck to the
desired angle,
and then tighten
the knob; do not
hold or pull on
the console.
HOW TO FOLD AND STORE THE ROWER
The rower can be stored in a folded position to con-
serve space. Store the rower in a location where
children cannot tip it. Remove the batteries from the
console when storing the rower for extended periods of
time.
To store the rower, first slide the Seat (23) to the rear of
the Rail (2).
Next, hold and lift the Frame Handle (52) and the Rail
Handle (34), and tip the rower forward onto the Shields
(7, 8) and the Storage Feet (43).
