quality of each product we produce, occasional errors and /or omissions do occur. In
any event should you find this product to have either a defective or a missing part
please contact us for a replacement.
This exercise equipment was designed and built for optimum safety. However, certain
precautions apply whenever you operate a piece of exercise equipment. Be sure to read
the entire manual before assembly and operation of this machine. Also, please note the
following safety precautions:
1. Read the OWNER’S OPERATING MANUAL and all accompanying literature and
follow it carefully before using your rowing machine.
2. If dizziness, nausea, chest pains, or any other abnormal symptoms are experienced
while using this equipment, STOP the workout at once. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
3. Inspect your exercise equipment prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and bolts
are fully tightened before each use.
4. The rowing machine must be regularly checked for signs of wear and damage. Any
part found defective must be replaced with a new part from the manufacturer.
5. Fitness equipment must always be installed on a flat surface, It is recommended to
use an equipment mat to prevent the unit from moving while it is being used, which
could possibly scratch or damage the surface of your floor.
6. No changes must be made which might compromise the safety of the equipment.
7. It is recommended to have a minimum of 2’ safe clearance around the exercise

11. Maximum user weight 515lbs (234KG).
12. Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes

help prevent you from straining muscles.
13. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in
conjunction with the level of exercise being performed .
14. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear while exercising. Do not wear loose
fitting clothing that could become entangled with the moving parts of your rowing

other than as directed or recommended by your doctor.
