bolt in place with an open-end wrench (fig. 7). Make sure that
the resistance adjustment knob is facing outwards. Fasten the
other oar brake in the same manner.
1.5 METER ASSEMBLY
Insert two 1,5 V AA-batteries by opening the bottom of the
meter cover.Replace the top cover and connect the meter
cable with the transmitter cable Thread the cables into the
groove in the rail to avoid damage. The meter is fastened to the
rail with two straps of adhesive fabric (fig. 8).
2. USE
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition to
strengthening the heart and improving circulation, it develops
1.2. FOOTREST ASSEMBLY
Remove the nut and the thin metallic and plastic washers from
the footrest shaft. Install a footrest on the shaft so that the thick
plastic washer stays between the footrest and the frame. Place
theplastic andmetallicwashers andanut attheendoftheshaft
(fig. 4). Install the other footrest in the same way. Tighten both
nuts simultaneously by holding the other nut in place with an
open end wrench.
1.3. OAR ASSEMBLY
Remove the screw shown in fig. 5.
Remove the plastic cover on the bearing housing of the oar.
Make sure that the sleeve bearing remains inside the bearing
housing.Toinstalltheoar,placeitslowerendintheoarbracket,
push the screw through the bracket and the sleeve (fig. 6).
Insert the washer and tighten the nut, holding the bolt in place
with an open-end wrench. Tighten the screw hard. Install the
other oar in the same manner. the various groups of large muscles: the back, the abdomen,
the arms, the shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs.
Rowing also develops muscular flexibility without exertion of
joints, and it is a recommended form of exercise for those who
suffer from pains in the neck and shoulder area.
2.1. ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
With the adjuster in the lowest position (1), the resistance is at
a minimum, in the highest position (5) at its maximum. Do not
tighten the adjuster too hard.
2.2. TIGHTENING THE FOOT STRAPS
Pull the foot straps to correct tightness, turn over the end of the
strap and fasten it.

Note: Never lean on the oars when you get up off the rowing
machine, and lock the seat everytime you lift or move the
device.

CALORIES:
Estimated, cumulative energy consump-
tion in kilocalories or set kilocalories. In
theory energy consumption is calculated
from rowing resistance, speed and dis-
tance, but because different people’s
capacity to produce energy (efficiency)
varies, the energy consumption display
shows only an approximation of the real
consumption. This meter calculates the
energy consumption on the basis of
average values.
SCAN:
Automatic alternation of displays at 6
second intervals. When the SCAN mode
is on, the display shows the text SCAN.
This mode is automatically on when you
switch on the meter. You can leave the
modebypressing theMODEkeyonceso
that the text SCAN disappears from the
screen, and return to it by pressing the
MODEkeyuntilthetextSCANreappears.
3.3 SETTING VALUES
You can preset certain training time,
amount of strokes and/or amount of
calories.
- time 0:00-99:00 (in steps of 1 min)
- strokes 0-999 (in steps of 10 strokes)
- calories 0-999 (in steps of 1 kCal)
- distance 0-999 (in steps of 0,1 M)
You can preset values only in STOP
mode (STP on display). This mode is
automatically on when the meter is
switched on, similarly the STOP mode
goes automatically on if the exercise is
halted for at least 3 seconds. If the SCAN
modeison (SCAN on display), presetting
cannotbe done.Youcanleave themode
by pressing the MODE key once so that
thetextSCANdisappearsfromthescreen.
1. Press MODE key until the display
shows the desired value (time, strokes,
calories, distance).
2. Press SET key to preset the value
(RESET key returns the preset value to
zero). Pressing SET key continuously
runs numbers forward fast.
