Water rowing machine is regularly examined for damage and wear. Special attention should be given
to the following:
1. Sit on the seat and pull on the handlebar to verify that the water system provides
resistance and the seat travel is smooth and stable
2. Periodic maintenance is required to maintain proper condition of the water in the tank. The water
must be refreshed periodically by adding a water purication tablet, such as sodium dichlor
(56% chlorine) every 4-6 months. NEVER USE POOL CHLORINE (TRICHLOR 90% CHLORINE) OR
CHLORINE BLEACH. Use of these products will void the warranty and damage the product.
3. Clean the roller tracks on the rails with an absorbent cloth. Do not let dirt accumulate. Check
before every training.
4. It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner to ensure that regular maintenance is performed.
5. Worn or damaged components shall be replaced immediately. Contact your dealer for help.

EXERCISE GUIDE
Rowing is an extremely eective form of exercising. It strengthens your heart and improves blood
circulation as well.
There are involved all major muscle groups of back, waist, arms, shoulders, hips and legs.
Sit on the saddle and fasten your feet to the pedals using Velcro straps. Then take hold of the rowing bar.
Take the start position, lean forward with your arms straight and knees bent as shown in Fig. 1. Push your
body backwards while simultaneously straightening your back and legs (Fig. 2). Continue this movement
until you are leaning slightly backwards.Bring your arms out of the side during this phase (Fig. 3). Thereafter
return to the second position and repeat it as shown below.
Rowing is a strenuous training style. Because of it, it is better to start with a short and easy program and
continue to a longer and intensive workout. Start rowing for about 5 minutes and increase the workout
length gradually to improve your tness. Finally, you should be able to row for 15-20
minutes. Don’t try to do it too quikly. Try to train on alternate days, 3 times a week. Take recovery time
between workouts.
