DESIGNERS NOTE: The return spring on the Origin
OR1 Rowing Machine has been designed with the
lightest possible force. There is more than sufficient
spring tension to recoil the DRIVE STRAP
ASSEMBLY [709] regardless of the return speed of the
handle to the start position.
The reason for the light return spring is to give the user an
improved level of exercise by increasing the benefit to the
hamstring group of muscles at the rear of the thigh. This
muscle group is called upon when the user moves the
seat forward.
We have faithfully duplicated the “normal” rowing
action one would get when rowing on water where the oar
is not pulled forward.
