NOTE

• 13 liters of water is required for maximum filling.

• Where water quality is poor, we recommend

using distilled water.

• Putting the bucket higher than the tank will allow the siphon to “self-pump” when adding water to the tank.

• Consider using a towel under the bucket and water tank preventing stains on the floor.

WARNING

• Filling the water level over the Maximum level might result in water leakage during workout.

- Begin filling the tank by squeezing the siphon. Use

the level gauge decal on the side of the tank to measure volume of water in the tank.

- After filling the tank to the desired water level, open

the valve on the top of the siphon to allow excess water to escape.

- Ensure that the tank plug is replaced once filling

and water treatment procedures are complete.

English

- Remove the tank plug.

- Insert the siphon rigid hose end into the tank

- Insert the siphon flexible hose end into a large

bucket.

- Drain the tank (approx. 20% of water will remain

in the tank. It is not possible to drain the tank completely without disassembling the tank)

- Refill the tank following the directions as described

under the section “Filling the tank” of this manual.

Workouts

The workout must 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 fitness. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout. To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected to excessive strain. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.

NOTE

• The valve on top of the siphon must be closed to allow proper drainage.

• If the water treatment schedule is maintained, it will not be necessary to change the water inside the tank. An additional water treatment tablet is only required when discolouration of the water appears.

• Exposure to sunlight affects the water. Moving the rower away from direct sunlight will extend time between water treatments

Water treatment

- Add one water treatment tablet.

- Add a water treatment tablet whenever the water

appears dirty or cloudy over time.

WARNING

• Only use the Tunturi supplied water treatment tablets.

Exercise Instructions

Using your fitness trainer will provide you with several benefits, it will improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

The warming up phase

This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP

The exercise phase

This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become more flexible. Work to your but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.

The cool down phase

This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch. As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

Muscle toning

To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

Weight loss

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.

Heart rate

WARNING

• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a heartrate chest belt.

CAUTION

• If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1.5 metres.

• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter is within transmission range.

NOTE

• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly in contact with your skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt above your clothes. If you wear the heart rate chest belt above your clothes, there will be no signal.

• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.

• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a distance of 1 metre. If the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate will not appear on the display.

• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.

• Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances create an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.

Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)

The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user is touching both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or too moist, the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.

NOTE

• Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart rate chest belt.

• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.

Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)

The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart rate chest belt. The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are slight moist and constantly touching the skin. If the electrodes are too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less accurate.

Maximum heart rate (during training)

The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely achieve through exercise stress. The following formula is used to calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum heart rate varies from person to person.

WARNING

• Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate during your workout. If you belong to a risk group, consult a physician.

Beginner 50-60% of maximum heart rate

Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers, convalescents and persons who have not exercised for a long time. Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time.

Advanced 60-70% of maximum heart rate

Suitable for persons who want to improve and maintain fitness. Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time.

English

Expert 70-80% of maximum heart rate

Suitable for the fittest of persons who are used to longendurance workouts.

Use

Adjusting the support feet (fig. E-1)

The equipment is equipped with 2 support feet. If the equipment is not stable, the support feet can be adjusted.

- Turn the support feet as required to put the

equipment in a stable position.

- Tighten the locknuts to lock the support feet.

NOTE

• The machine is the most stable when all support feet are turned fully in. Therefore start to level the machine by turning all support feet fully in, before turning out the required support feet to stable the machine.

Adjusting resistance

improvement is good enough.

How to row

Catch

Comfortably forward with straight back and arms.

Drive

Push with the legs while arms remain straight.

To increase or decrease resistance, adjust the water level.

- More water is more resistance.

See: “Filling the tank with water” on page 3

- Less water is less resistance.

See: “removing water from the tank” on page 4

The scale on the water tank helps you find and set a suitable resistance.
