Machine Maintenance Guide
(4) WORKOUT INTENSITY ADJUSTMENT
•This Air Rower uses wind resistance, which is generated by the spinning flywheel. The
harder you pull, the more resistance you will feel. The faster you get the wheel spinning, the
more resistance there will be.
•You can row as hard or as easy as you wish. This Air Rower will not force you to row
at any set intensity level. It is up to you. As you put more effort into your rowing, you
will go faster, produce more watts, and burn more calories. All of these outputs will be
measured and displayed by the Monitor.
DAMPER SETTINGS ON THE FLYWHEEL
•The damper setting is like bicycle gearing. It affects the feel of the rowing but does not
directly affect the resistance. With a little experimentation, you will find the damper
setting that gives you the best workout and results. We recommend a damper setting of
3-5 for the best aerobic workout. This is the setting that feels most like a sleek, fast boat
on the water. Higher settings feel more like a bigger, slower boat. Rowing with the damper
setting too high can be detrimental to your training program because it may refine your
output and increase your risk of injury.

Safety Using Instruction
PROPER ROWING TECHNIQUE INSTRUCTION
The rowing stroke can be divided into two parts: the drive and the recovery.
The drive is in the work portion of the strokes; the recovery is the rest portion
that prepares you for the next drive. The body movements of the recovery
are essentially the reverse of the drive. Blend these movements into a smooth
continuum to create the rowing stroke.
The followings are the proper rowing technique demonstration
(1) The Catch
•Arms are straight; head is neutral;
shoulders are level and not hunched.
•Upper body is leaning forward from the hips
with the shoulders in front of the hips.
•Shins are vertical, or as close to vertical
as comfortable for you. Shins should not
move beyond perpendicular.
•Heels may lift as needed.
(2) The Drive
•Start the drive by pressing with your legs,
and then swing the back through the
vertical position before finally adding the arm pull.
•Hands move in a straight line to and from the flywheel.
•Shoulders remain low and relaxed.
(3) The Finish
•Upper body is leaning back slightly, using
good support from the core muscles.
•Legs are extended and handle is held lightly
below your ribs.
•Shoulders should be low with wrists an
(4) The Recovery
•Extend your arms until they straighten
before leaning from the hips towards the
flywheel.
•Once your hands have cleared your knees,
allow your knees to bend and gradually
slide the seat forward on the monorail.
•For your next stroke, return to the catch position with shoulders relaxed and shins vertical.
