Free area and training area.
The free area should be no less than 0.6m greater than the training area in the

How To Use The Rower
16
RBF21ROW01 Gold Rower
HOW TO MOVE THE ROWER
Stand behind the rower and lift the rear stabilizer until the rower will roll on the
wheels. Then, carefully move the rower to the desired location, and lower it to
the floor.
HOW TO ROW ON THE ROWER
Sit on the seat, place your feet in the pedals, and adjust the straps to fit your feet.
Hold the row bar with an overhand grip.
Correct rowing form consists of three phases:
1. The first phase is the CATCH. Slide the seat forward until your knees are
almost touching your chest. Pull the row bar until your hands are above
your feet.
2. The second phase is the DRIVE. Push backward with your legs. Lean back
slightly at the hips (not at the waist), keeping your back straight. As you
straighten your legs, pull the row bar toward your chest. Keep your elbows
outward.
3. The third phase is the FINISH. Your legs should be nearly straight. Continue to pull
the row bar until your hands are even with your chest.
After the finish phase, extend your arms forward and pull the seat forward using
your legs. Repeat this sequence, moving through all three phases with a smooth,
fluid motion. Remember to breathe normally as you row; never hold your breath.
HOW TO ADJUST THE TENSION
Adjust the End caps (81) and the Rear support
of the machine if the machine is unbalanced.
Turn the Tension Control knob (19) clockwise to
increase the resistance and vice-versa.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the
resistance control, stop turning it when
turning becomes difficult.
