BEFORE ASSEMBLY
MAINTENANCE
Before assembling your RPM Power® Air Rower, make sure to take a full inventory of the parts
included. Lay out the parts needed for each step and source any additional tools if necessary. If
you are missing parts or the necessary tools for assembly, contact us at info@rpmpower.com
We recommend wiping this machine with a damp (not wet) cloth every so often to prevent the
build up of dust and dirt.
You can lubricate the chain with a spoonful of pure mineral oil, triple oil or 20W motor oil. Pour
the oil on a kitchen towel and use it to wipe the entire surface of the chain. Wipe off any excess
oil.
Do not use any cleaners or solvents when cleaning the chain or any other part of this machine.
It is recommended to always check the tightness of the screws and other elements in this this
exercise machine before use. Ensure that all parts are secure and properly in place before use.
Use a flashlight to check for dust inside the flywheel and carefully remove particles with a vacuum
if necessary.
Inspect the chain and handle bar connects for wear on a regular basis. If the holes become
longer or the U-bolts appear to be worn in half, then the entire connection may need to be
replaced.
When storing this product, separate the flywheel section from the monorail and store them
upright. Please take care when standing the flywheel section upright, as it is easy for it to become
unbalanced.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Assemble the base of the rower. The base will later support the flywheel.
To assemble the base: place the longer of the two support rails on the v-shaped leg of the rower,
then place the shorter rail on top, so that they align with the holes on the leg.
Secure the pieces together using the 4 x M6 25mm screws (larger) provided. Tighten the screws
using the included allen key, but do not overtighten the screws, as you will need to come back
and fully tighten all parts at the end of assembly.
Note: Before commencing with the next step, it would be best to place the flywheel main
frame in an upturned position.
Step 2. Secure the base to the mainframe by aligning it with the holes on the mainframe. Ensurie
the wheels are facing outward. Secure the pieces together with 4 x M6 12mm screws (smaller)
and the allen key provided.
Note: Before commencing with step 3, invert the rower so it's standing with its base on the
ground and it is ready to connect to the monorail section.
Step 3. Lift the end of the monorail, so that it is level with the flywheel section.
Step 1
FLYWHEEL SECTION
MONORAIL SECTION
FLYWHEEL SETTINGS
The regulator is similar to that of a bicycle gear. It effects movement, but does not effect
resistance levels. We recommend setting the regulator to 3-5 to achieve the best aerobic
exercise results. This setting has been compared to the smoothness of boating on water. Higher
settings can be compared to rowing inside a larger, slower boat.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4. Bring the flywheel and
monorail sections together so
that they join up at the foot
plates. The top hanger of the
monorail section should sit on
top of the upper bolt tube of
the flywheel section, while the
bottom of the hanger should
hook under the lower bolt
tube as shown in step 4: figure
1.
Step 4: Figure 1
Step 5. Lower both pieces until they connect securely. Apply a small amount of force to
secure them into position.
Step 6. Finally Push the framelock into the locked position.
Step 6
Step 1. Release the framelock from the locked position by pulling upwards on the rope
and rotating the framelock into the unlocked position.
Step 2. Holding the foot strap, lift the monorail slightly to disengage it from the flywheel
section.
Step 3. Separate the monorail from the flywheel section.
