ASSEMBLY
Start by unpacking the equipment and check that
you have the following parts:
1. Frame and front frame
2. Assembly kit (contents marked with in the spare
part list): keep the assembly tools, as you may need
them e.g. for adjusting the equipment.
If necessary, please contact your dealer with the
model, equipment serial no. and spare part no.
of the missing part. You’ll find a spare part list at
the back of this guide. The packaging includes a
silicate bag for absorbing moisture during storage
and transportation. Please dispose of the bag once
you have unpacked the equipment. The directions
left, right, front and back are defined as seen from
the exercising position.
Turn the front frame bent over the frame up and
forward. Attach the front frame to the frame with
three screws on both sides: the lowest retaining
screw is already in place. Tighten all retaining
screws tight. Press the plastic plugs to retaining
screw ends.
CONSOLE
Remove the protective cover from the console.

Turn the console carefully away from the front
frame so that you can remove the battery
compartment cover in the back of the console.
Open the battery compartment cover carefully
from its lower edge. Be careful not to damage
the wires. Set the batteries (2 x 1.5V AA) in their
place according to the markings in the battery
compartment. Reattach the cover and adjust the
angle of the console appropriately for exercise.
SEAT
Cut the seat's packaging lock.
EXERCISING
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 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. 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 fitness. 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 fitness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise
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 first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly and at low resistance,
R30
•
because strenuous exercise may subject the heart
and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness
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.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the
OWNER'S MANUAL
rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t
know your maximum heart rate, please use the
following formula as a guide:
220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies
from person to person. The maximum heart-rate
diminishes on average by one point per year. If you
belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure
your maximum heart rate for you.
We have defined three different heart-rate zones to
help you with targeted training.
BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each
is recommended. Regular exercise considerably
improves beginners’ respiratory and circulatory
performance and you will quickly feel your
improvement.
TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness.
Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs
effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes
at least three times a week. To improve your
condition still further, increase either frequency or
effort, but not both at the same time!
ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
USE
ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
You can increase or decrease resistance by turning
the adjuster knob on the front frame. Turn the
adjustment knob clockwise (+ direction) to increase
resistance and counterclockwise (- direction) to
decrease resistance. The scale above the knob (1-8)
helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The console has a heart rate receiver compatible
with Polar equipment, so you can also use
Polar uncoded heart rate belts for heart rate
measurement. The most reliable heart rate
measurement is achieved with a telemetric device,
in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened
to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to
the console by means of an electromagnetic field.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
consult a physician before using a wireless heart
rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or
water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest
with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while
exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing
is prevented. Attach the transmitter and adjust the
flexible belt to an appropriate tightness below chest
level so that the electrodes are in contact with the
skin during exercise. If you wear the transmitter
and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly
at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt.
The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the console up to a distance of
about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heartrate reading will not appear on the display. If the
electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again.
Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure
accurate heart rate measurement. The transmitter
is switched to an active state only when it is being
used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture
can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state
and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important
to dry the electrodes carefully after use.
OWNER'S MANUAL • R30
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. Push
yourself backwards straightening your back and
your legs simultaneously. Continue the movement
until you lean slightly backwards and flex your
armsat the same time. Return to the starting
position, lean forward and straighten your arms.
BICEPS (ELBOW FLEXORS)
GB
When selecting training attire, please note
that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity, which may
prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please
note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field
around them, which will cause problems in heart
rate measurement.
ROWING MOTION
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. Bend your
arms. You can also develop your biceps by standing
in front of the device, grasping either over or under
the bar and bending your arms .
