MOVING THE EQUIPMENT

To move, firmly grasp rear frame and tilt

the equipment up (1) and roll (2).

STORAGE

Fold console down (3). Tilt the frame into the upright position (4).

WARNING!

Our equipment is heavy, use care and

additional help if necessary when moving or standing up. Failure to follow these

instructions could result in injury.

CAUTION!

Caution should be used when storing rowers in an upright storage position. Rowers have

been tested for stability when stored in

an upright storage position. While testing has shown that the rowers can maintain their stability when tilted up to 10 degrees, accidental contact with an upright rower may potentially knock over the rower.

• Care should be used when handling rowers in the upright storage position.

• Any rower stored in the upright storage position shall be stored in a protected area to prevent accidental contact with the rower.

• Unless people are storing a rower or

retrieving a rower from storage, keep people away from upright stored rowers.

ENGLISH

LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT

It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. Turn leveling foot clockwise to lower and counter-

clockwise to raise unit. Adjust each side as needed until the equipment is level. An unbalanced unit may cause belt misalignment or other

issues. Use of a level is recommended.

ENGLISH

PROPER USAGE

There are four phases to the rowing stroke:

1. CATCH – Grasp the handle evenly with both

hands. With the seat slid forward and the knees

tucked into the chest (directly in line with the

heel of the foot), stretch the arms out in front and lean slightly forward from the hips.

2. DRIVE – Press rmly against the foot plates until the legs are fully extended, but not locked. Let the arms come with you and bring the torso to 90 degrees.

3. FINISH – Pull the arms into the abdomen

with legs fully extended, and lean back with the torso slightly beyond 90 degrees.

4. RECOVERY – Extend the arms, bend the knees, and lean forward from the hips and slid forward on the seat.

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER (OXFORD 6)

When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter (sold separately), your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console.

WARNING!

Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.

Over exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.

POWER (OXFORD 6)

The power cord must be plugged into the power

socket, which is located in the front of the

equipment. Unplug cord when not in use.

All four phases should be performed

smoothly and in a continuous manner.

BRAKE SYSTEM

This rower utilizes magnetic resistance to set specific levels of resistance. The resistance level setting in addition

to the SPM is used to determine the power (watts) output.

PEDAL STRAPS

The foot pedals are equipped with quick adjust foot straps. After positioning

your foot, pull on the strap

to tighten (5). To release, pull on the plastic clip (6).

WARNING!

Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Please reference contact information on the back cover of the INFORMATION CARD for assistance.

POWER ACCURACY

This rower displays power on the console. The power accuracy of this model has been tested using the test method of EN957-7:1998 to ensure a power accuracy within a tolerance of ±10 % for input power ≥50 W, and within a tolerance of ±5 W for input power <50 W.

Force applied to the handle was measured throughout the rowing stroke, as well as the stroke position of the handle. This information was used to calculate the energy applied to the rower, and the value of the energy calculation was divided by the period of exercise time to calculate the average mechanical power (the input power) applied to the rower. The power accuracy of the displayed power was verified by calculating this input power and comparing the displayed power to the input (measured) power using the following conditions:

Nominal stroke length: 792 mm Resistance settings:

•

Minimum resistance setting at nominal stroke speed of 25 strokes per minute

•

Medium resistance setting at nominal stroke speed of 25 strokes per minute

•

Maximum resistance setting at nominal stroke speed of 25 strokes per minute

In addition to the above testing conditions, the manufacturer tested the power accuracy using one additional resistance setting and nominal stroke speed. Then the power displayed was

compared to the input (measured) power.

GETTING STARTED

PROGRAM INFORMATION

MANUAL: Adjust your resistance level manually during workout. User sets time.

RACE: User chooses the difficulty of the RACE game. Options include BEGINNER

(500M in 3:00), INTERMEDIATE (2,000M in 12:00) and ADVANCED (5,000M in 30:00).

DISTANCE: Push yourself and go further during your workout with 7 distance workouts. Choose from 500M, 1,000M, 2,000M, 4,000M,

5,000M, 6,000M and 10,000M. User sets starting resistance level.

TARGET HEART RATE: % Maximum Target Heart Rate (%THR) automatically adjusts resistance to bring you within 5 beats of your set % of maximum heart

rate. Target Heart Rate (THR) automatically adjusts resistance to maintain your target heart rate. These workouts require you to wear a wireless heart rate strap.

The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30-year-old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-yearold’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.

FAT BURN: Promotes weight loss by increasing and decreasing the resistance.

Target heart rate notes:

• Warm-up and cool-down each last 4 minutes.

• After 4 minutes, the resistance will automatically adjust

to bring you near your specified heart rate.

• If no heart rate is detected or signal is lost, the resistance will remain at the same level for 60 seconds and then begin decreasing 1 resistance

level every 10 seconds until the minimum resistance is reached.

• If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone the program will shut down.

TROUBLESHOOTING

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY ROWER MAKES NORMAL?

Our rowers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so

quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older,

louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises

to mask these sounds on our rowers. These mechanical noises, which may

or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts

and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through

the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE ROWER I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because

there is generally more background noise than in your home.

Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands

of maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far

more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.

CAN I MOVE THE ROWER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?

Your rower has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the MOVING THE ROWER section to transport your rower. It is important that you place your rower in a comfortable and inviting room. Your rower is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their rowers facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your rower in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the rower should be in a comfortable setting.

NEED ASSISTANCE?

If this troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.

Please reference contact information on the INFORMATION CARD for assistance.

The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

• Model Name

• Serial Number

• Proof of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)

Some common troubleshooting questions

that may be asked are:

• How long has this problem been occurring?

• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?

• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from

the front or the back? What kind of noise is it

(thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?

• Has the machine been maintained per the MAINTENANCE schedule?

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your elliptical running again!

You may find more troubleshooting suggestions on the customer support section of our website.
