before sitting on the Rower Seat. Small
objects captured between the Seat Rollers
and Runners can damage the Wheels or
running surface. Check Runners for debris
prior to each use and clean regularly.
Note: The Rower Frame Bolts require periodic
checking for tightness. Do this at the end of
the first month of use and again after every
12 months
Choose a suitable location when standing the
product for storage.
Install supplied 2x AA batteries and check
monitor function. Details regarding can be
found in the Monitor section of this manual.
Choose a flat, level surface on which to use
your Rower, to avoid rocking and potential
premature wear.

Tank
d) When full, open the valve on the top of the siphon to allow
excess water to escape.

Note:
◎The valve on top of the proper drainage.
◎Water treatment will preclude the need to change
Tank water if the treatment schedule is maintained.
Additional Water Treatment Tablet is required only
when discoloration appears in the water.
◎Exposure to full sunlight reduces the life of the
Water Treatment Tablets. Storing the Rower away
from direct sunlight will extend the time between
water treatments.
Adjust Footplates
The Footplate Slider accommodates most foot sizes,
and is designed to keep your feet securely in place as
you row. The feet should be positioned so that the foot
strap covers the section of the foot naturally bend as
row. (e.g. The board of the foot)
TO ADJUST:
Lift the top of the Footplate from the mounting pegs
and slide vertically between 1-6 to suit your foot
length. Secure by hooking the Footplate back onto
the mounting pegs and pushing down firmly to lock it
into position. Place feet on the foot plates and tighten
the Footstraps to ensure your feet sit firmly against
the heel captures.
Note: The heel capture should bend to allow your foot
to pivot naturally as you row.
WARNING: Never operate this Rower without feet properly secured in Footstraps,
or without the sliding portion of the Footplate Slider locked into position!

Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this unit.
For replacement tablets, contact your local BODYPOWER SPORTS PLC distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the ROWER will vary according to the fluid Tanks
exposure to sunlight, but expect 8-12 months near a bright, sunlit window and 2
years or more for a darker location. At the point of finding the water slightly
cloudy, add a Water Treatment Tablet.
Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
CAUTION
It is strongly recommended that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank
whenever the tank plug is opened for water treatment.

Operation Instructions
Start Rowing
There are six phases to completing a rowing stroke
1. Sit with straight legs and back, leaning forward slightly at the hips with arms out
straight and hands level with the lower ribs. Swing back.
2. Legs and back straight, leaning slightly forward from the hips, arms out in front.
Lean and slide forward.
Note: Hands should now be around your knees, keeping legs straight.
3. Legs come forward, aiming to get the shins vertical. Back is still straight, and
posture leaning slightly forward with arms still out front. Now drive hard, this is
the CATCH.
4. Knees partially straightened so Seat is now at mid-point of travel, back and arms
still straight. Maintain the stroke.
5. Knees are nearly straight, back is still straight but now leaning slightly back from
the hips. Arms straight. Now squeeze through.
6. Legs now fully extended. Back straight and leaning slightly back, now pull with the
arms so they are close to the chest, forearms horizontal and elbows close in to
the rib cage. This is the FINISH.
CAUTION Always consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program.
Stop immediately if you feel faint or dizzy.

18
Detaching the Rower Belt
1. To detach Belt, simply pull beyond the range of the
normal rowing stroke until the Belt detaches from
the Belt Bungee Pulley.
Tip: You’ll hear the Velcro separating just before the
belt detaches.
2. Unhook the Bungee Shock Cord from the Rear Brace.
Then, push out the Inner Clip from the Bungee Hook.
Pull the Bungee through the Inner Clip until free. This
will allow for the Bungee Shock Cord to be threaded
completely out of the Main Frame and up to the Belt
Bungee Pulley where it will be re-attached once the
Rower Belt is in the proper position.

Reattaching the Rower Belt
STEP 1
Begin reattaching the Rower Belt by threading
around the Rower Belt Pulley with the Velcro side
facing upward as illustrated.
Next, thread the Belt around the Idle Wheel as
shown. Once around the Idle Wheel, attach the
Rower Belt to the Belt/Bungee Pulley. There is
an obvious “lip” at the attachment point.
STEP 5
Wind the Rower Belt onto the Belt/Bungee Pulley
until the Rower Handle is as it’s furthest forward
position.
Rethread the Bungee Shock Cord (on opposite
side of the Idle Wheel) back through the Bungee
Pulleys and tie off at the Attachment Point.
Recoil tension will decrease over time as the Bungee Shock Cord
stretches. To increase recoil tension, simply push the Inner Clip
out of the Bungee Hook from behind, pull the required amount of
bungee through the Inner Clip and replace the Inner Clip into the
Bungee Hook as shown below.
Hint: Before reattaching the Inner Clip/
Bungee Hook, tie a slip knot under slight
tension at the lower bungee pulley. This
will keep the Bungee under tension while
reassembling the Bungee Hook.
