USING THE PRODUCT
Starting adjustments
Sit on the sliding seat.
Put your feet on the pushing platforms, adjust the heel pad and block your
feet with the belts.

USING THE PRODUCT
Rowing
Push with your feet on the platforms and extend your legs.
When your legs are completely extended, use your abdominal corset
muscles and your thigh biceps to move your chest backwards with an
approximate inclination of 30°.
When your legs are extended and your chest inclined, bend your arms
and bring the grip towards your chest, with your elbows at the back.
Do not use your entire body at once during the exercise; perform the
exercise progressively starting from your legs, passing to your torso
and then end with the arm movement.
Rest time
Extend your arms, move your chest forward and bend your knees to
return to the starting position.
Warnings
Keep your backbone straight during the entire movement.
Keep your knees aligned with your ankles, not wider and not narrower.

SKILLROW
USING THE PRODUCT
Mode regulator operation
Two workouts can be performed on the product:
- a ROWING workout
- a POWER workout
In POWER mode, the regulator introduces a supplementary magnetic load. This makes it possible to
perform rowing exercises with an overload and strength exercises.
In ROWING mode: turn the knob to adjust the quantity of intake air; this has an impact on the sensation
of the rowing, not on the intensity.
The intensity of the eort depends on the exercise itself: if you pull stronger, you perceive more
resistance.
Turning the regulator in the ROWING zone changes the rowing sensation.
The eort exerted depends on various factors: temperature, altitude, dust accumulated inside the fan
and on the grilles. For this reason, even if the same rowing level is set, you may perceive dierent
sensations of eort when using dierent SKILLROW devices at dierent moments of the day.
In order to compare the results of dierent workouts by the same person, or compare the workouts
of dierent people, the aspect to take into consideration is the DRAG FACTOR, which is a measurement
of the agility of the "boat".
To view the drag factor, refer to the chapter dedicated to the display.

USING THE PRODUCT
W
Any distractions in the area around the equipment may cause you to lose your balance.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the product being used does not interfere with any other mobile goods during use.
Use of the equipment by two people at the same time is prohibited.
The SKILLROW device is only intended for the use for which it was designed and built, which is as a rowing machine, for simulating the rowing
action of a boat. Any other use of the equipment is to be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
Pay attention to the movement of the sliding seat: risk of entrapment and crushing.
Always accompany the grip to the end stop and do not release it during the exercise.

USING THE PRODUCT
Divide the product into two parts to store it after use.
Pull the lever (A) and press the element (B) at the same time. This releases the sliding base.
Once the two parts are released, they are free to fall: hold them both and pay attention.
Do not position the entire product in a vertical position: risk of instability and tipping over.

USING THE PRODUCT
To ret the product, join the two parts together; the coupling elements will engage automatically.
For the coupling, make sure that the two parts are perfectly aligned.

How to start an exercise (exercise types)
If you row for at least 3 seconds, without pressing any key, an exercise will start without duration limits. If you stop rowing for at least 3 seconds, the
exercise will be paused; after a 1 minute pause, the exercise ends.
Press the SET key to set other exercise types.
After pressing SET, use the two scroll keys to the right to scroll the dierent types of exercises.
The following exercises and tests are indicated in the following order.
- Exercise with a prexed duration, in minutes.
- Exercise with a prexed distance, in metres.
- Exercise with prexed calorie consumption.
- Interval exercise based on distance: the distance for the eort stage and the duration of the rest phase are set.
- Interval exercise based on duration: the duration for the eort stage and for the rest phase are set.
- Test that lasts 30 seconds.
- Test that foresees running a distance of 2000 metres.
To select an exercise or a test, press the SET key when the exercise is shown on the display.
After selecting the exercise, use the two scroll keys to set the values (duration, distance, calories). Press the
SET key to conrm the value and start the exercise.
No values need to be entered for the tests.
The tests are performed in ROWING mode; if the POWER mode is active, the test will not start.

USING THE CHEST BAND
There is a receiver in the display that receives the heart rate signals from the telemetric chest band.
The Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ transmission technologies are supported.
In order to have the heart rate value shown on the display, the chest band must be paired with the product.
The pairing must be repeated each exercise.
To pair the chest band, press the heart shaped symbol on the right.
To make the connection easier, move as close as possible to the receiver for 10 seconds.
The heart icon on the display will ash during the pairing operation; once the pairing is successful, the
icon remains on and the instantaneous heart rate is displayed.
The heart rate is expressed in beats per minute.
If log in was completed and the heart rate threshold was recorded in the prole, the 3 reference marks
will turn on.
- 1 mark indicates that the heart rate value detected is between 0% and 33% of the threshold value.
- 2 marks indicate that the heart rate value detected is between 34% and 66% of the threshold value.
- 3 marks indicate that the heart rate value detected is above 67% of the threshold value.

SKILLROW
USING THE CHEST BAND
The table shows the optimum heart rate levels in relation to age and the
goal to be achieved.
Theoretical maximum heart rate (100%) is calculated on the basis of age
using the formula: HRmax = 207 - 0.7 x age (R. L. Gelish et al, Med Sci Sports
Exerc., 2007 May, 39 (5): 281).
To read the graph, simply nd your age on the horizontal axis and scan up
the vertical until you reach the 60%, 70% and 90% values.
Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate between 60% and 70% mainly
burns fat as an energy source.
Whendoing aerobicexerciseataheartrateof70%to90%thecardiocirculatory
component prevails.
For example, if someone aged 30 wants to burn o fat, they should keep
their heart rate between 112 (60%) and 131 (70%) during exercise; if they
want to improve cardio-respiratory capacity, they should keep their heart
rate between 131 (70%) and 168 (90%).

W
During a workout it is very important that your heart rate never goes above 90% of your maximum rate (unless you are an athlete engaged
in competitive sport).
The sole function of the heart rate monitor is to display the heart rate during exercise and cannot be used for medical cardiac diagnoses of
any kind. The heart rate shown on the display is purely indicative and cannot be considered absolutely certain.
You are advised not to use a chest band with heart rate monitor if you have a cardiac support device such as a pacemaker or similar.
To avoid interference, the products must be kept at least 170 cm from each other.
Heart rate readings may not be accurate near sources of electromagnetic radiation (TVs, mobile phones etc.).
Should you have any doubts about the accuracy of the readings, contact the Technical Support Service.
In the event of diculties connecting the chest band:
- Check that the battery is not at.
- Check that the chest band is not already connected to other devices.
