HOW TO OPERATE THE MONITOR
To turn on the power, press the ON/OFF button.
Next, press the TIME SET button to set the length of
time that you plan to exercise, from 1 to 60 minutes.
Each time the button is pressed, the length of time will
increase by 1 minute. The button can be held down to
set the length of time quickly.
Press the STAR/STOP button to start or stop the monitor. When the monitor is started, the time will be
counted down. When no time remains, a tone will
sound. Note: The tone will last for one minute, unless
the ON/OFF button is pressed to stop it.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the power.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To vary the intensity of your exercise, the resistance of
the rowing arms can be changed. The resistance is
determined by the positions of the Clamps (20) on the
rowing arms (refer to the drawing below).
To change the resistance, first loosen the Clamp
Knobs (21). To increase the resistance, slide the
Clamps (20) higher on the rowing arms; to decrease
the resistance, slide the Clamps lower on the rowing
arms. Tighten the Clamp Knobs. Refer to the marks
on the rowing arms to make sure that both Clamps
are at the same height.
PROPER ROWING FORM
Sit on the seat, facing the footrests. Place your feet in
the footrests and adjust the straps to fit your feet.
Hold the handles of the rowing arms with an overhand
grip. Correct rowing form consists of three phases:
1. The first phase is the CATCH. Slide the seat forward until your knees are almost touching your
chest. Pivot the rowing arms forward until your
hands are close to your feet.
2. The second phase is the DRIVE. Push backward
using your legs. Keep your back straight. Lean back
slightly at the hips (not at the waist) and begin
pulling the rowing arms toward your chest. Keep
your elbows outward.
3. The third phase is the FINISH. Your legs should be
nearly straight. Continue to pull the rowing arms
until your hands are even with your chest.
After the finish phase, extend your arms forward and
pull the seat forward using your legs. Repeat, moving
through all three phases with a smooth, fluid motion.
Remember to breathe normally as you rowÑnever
hold your breath.
ALTERNATE ROWING
Sit on the rowing machine as described above and
extend your legs until they are nearly straight. Lock
the seat in a stationary position by tightening the seat
knob. Keep your back straight. Alternately pull the
right and left rowing arms toward your chest.
SIT-UPS
Sit on the rowing machine as described above. Make
sure that your feet are properly strapped into the
footrests. Lock the seat in a stationary position by
tightening the seat knob. Bend your knees slightly and
clasp your hands behind your head. Perform as many
sit-ups as desired.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE TIPS
Inspect and tighten all parts of the WESLO 540 regularly. Replace worn parts immediately.
Wipe the rail and the wheels on the seat bracket regularly to keep them free of dust and dirt. Other parts of
the rowing machine can be cleaned using a soft cloth
and mild detergent. Keep liquids away from the monitor.
If the monitor does not function properly, the batteries
should be replaced. Most problems are the result of
drained batteries. See assembly step 1 on page 3 for
battery installation instructions.
The rowing machine can be stored in a vertical position to conserve space. Always tighten the seat
knob before lifting or moving the rowing machine.
If the seat knob is not tightened, the seat can slide,
resulting in injury. Store the rowing machine in a
location where children cannot tip it. Remove the
batteries from the monitor when storing the rowing
machine.
