1. Frame

2. Rail

3. Rear support

4. Seat

5. Plastic covers for the rear support

6. Plastic cover for the drawbar holder

7. Assembly kit (contents marked with * in the
spare part list)

In case of any problems, contact always your local
Tunturi distributor.

The spare part list is at the back of the manual.

Assemble the device as follows :

Support the rail with one hand, place the fastening
screws and sleeves through the holes in the rail,
and screw, fi nger-tight only, into the threaded holes
in the frame.

Lower the device to a horizontal position, open the
footstraps and pull them aside, revealing the two holes
for the fastening screws. Place the screws with sleeves
on the end of the allen key wrench and set them carefully
in place through the holes. Tighten all 4 screws securely
with the allen key wrench and slip the footstraps back
under the metal hooks on the side of the frame. Attach
the plastic cover of the R 610 drawbar holder with
4 allen screws.

SEAT AND RAIL

Push the grey plastic covers into place on the ends of
the rear support. Attach the end piece to the top of
the rear support loosely with the screw and place the
rear support into place at the rear of the rail. Tighten
the attachment screw and push the white plug over
the hole in the rail.

To mount the seat, use the four allen screws in the
assembly kit to fi x the seat to the carriage on the

rail. The edges of the base plate should be inside the
edges of the carriage.

METER

The meter switches on automatically when you start
rowing or press the RESET-key on the meter, and
switches off when you have not exercised or pressed
the key for about 4 minutes. You can reset the readings
by pressing the RESET key.

Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it may
damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the meter
from water and avoid severe impacts, as these may
also damage the meter.

DISPLAYS

STROKES:

Counts rowed strokes upwards (0-9999).

TIME:

Shows time counted upwards (0:00-59:59).

STROKES/MIN:

Number of strokes per minute (0-999).

CALORIES:

Estimated total calorie consumption (0.0-999 kcal).
Because different people’s capacity to produce energy
varies, the energy consumption display shows only
an approximation of the real consumption: this meter
calculates the energy consumption on the basis of fi xed
and measured values.

PULSE (R 610):

Shows pulse frequency per minute (70-199) beats
/ minute).

USE

Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition
to strengthening the heart and improving circulation,
it develops 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 fl exibility without exertion of joints, and it is
a recommended form of exercise for those who suffer
from pains in the neck and shoulder area.

Working out using a rowing machine is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should
be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise
is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen
uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fi tness.
The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly
dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.

Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout. You should exercise at least

three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach
a basic fi tness level. Maintaining this level requires

a few exercise

ROWING MOTION

Tighten the footstraps. Take a grip on
the bar and start the rowing stroke by
leaning slightly forward, with the knees
bent and the arms straight.

BICEPS (ELBOW FLEXORS)

You can develop the biceps while rowing
by taking an undergrasp of the bar or
in the following way: grasp the bar from
underneath, keep your knees straight and
your feet under the footstraps. Begin the
movement with your arms straight.

Push yourself backwards straightening
your back and your legs simultaneously.

TRICEPS (ELBOW EXTENSORS)

Sit on the seat with your back towards
the frame and grasp hold of the bar as
indicated in the fi gure.

Continue the movement until you lean
slightly backwards and fl ex your arms
at the same time. Return to the starting
position, lean forward and straighten
your arms.

CHEST MUSCLES

Stand by the machine as indicated in the
fi gure, with your foot on the rail.

Bend your arms. NOTE! Make sure the
wire hook does not fray the wire!

Straighten your arms. NOTE! Make sure
the wire hook does not fray the wire!

4 5

Pull the bar with the arm bent. Repeat
the same with the other arm. NOTE!
Make sure the wire hook does not fray
the wire!

CHANGING BATTERIES

If there are only weak or no fi gures on display, change
the batteries (2 x 1,5 V AA). Dismount the meter from
the frame and disconnect the meter and the cables.
Open the meter cover and change the batteries. Replace
the back cover, reconnect the cables and fasten the
meter to the frame.

STORAGE

Move the rowing machine according to the following
instruction: stand behind the device and grip the rail
with one hand and the seat with the other. Tilt the device
so that is rests on the transportation wheels. Move the
device by wheeling it on transportation wheels. Lower
the device onto fl oor while holding on to the rail and the
seat,all the time remaining behind the device.

NOTE: Follow the moving instructions because lifting
the device incorrectly may strain your back or cause
other risk of accidents.

To prevent malfunctioning of the machine, keep it in a
dry place with as little temperature variation as possible,
protected from dust.

To minimize the strain on the resistance mechanism, we
recommend that the resistance adjustment knob is set
to position 0 after every training session.

DIMENSIONS

programme of product development.

sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been
reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the
number of exercise sessions.

Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because
it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the
body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine
regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should
exercise daily - at fi rst 30 minutes or less at a time,
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed and low
resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous
exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system
to excessive strain. As fi tness improves, resistance and
speed can be increased gradually.

Short sequences at heavy load increase maximum
strength and muscular mass, longer sequences at a
lighter load trim the body and develop stamina.

ADJUSTING RESISTANCE

To increase or decrease resistance, turn the adjustment
knob clockwise (+ direction) to increase resistance and
counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease resistance.
The scale of the knob helps you fi nd and reset a
suitable resistance.

In rowing machines with fl ywheel construction, stroke
speed is at highest at the end of the rowing stroke
with the body leaning slightly backwards and the arms
fl exed against the chest. The fl ywheel speed is also at
its highest at this point. Stroke speed is at its lowest at
the start of the rowing stroke. If you row at a very low
resistance at a fast tempo, the fl ywheel will continue to
rotate fast at the beginning of the rowing motion, and
there may be an idle stroke. It is therefore recommended
to use a higher resistance when the rowing tempo
is very fast.

SERVICE

The rower requires a minimum of maintenance. From
time to time, check that all fi xing screws and nuts are
securely tightened. Clean the device with a damp cloth.
Do not use solvents. Check the condition of the wire
before every training session.

If you notice any defects or malfunctions in the device
during the use, contact your dealer immediately.

In spite of continuous quality control, individual
defects and malfunctions may occur due to individual
components. It is in most cases unnecessary to take the
whole rowing machine for repair, as it is usually suffi cient
to replace the defective part.
