Rower as it will be considered tampering and will invalidate
your warranty.

safety instructions thoroughly to familiarize yourself

DESIGNERS NOTE: The return spring on the
R200 Premier Rower 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.
R200 Premier Rower. Please follow the instructions on
your R200 Premier Rower as injury may result.
