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 firmly 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.
All four phases should be performed smoothly and in a continuous manner.
PROGRAMS
1. QUICK START – adjust foot plates to desired position and begin
rowing. Console will power up within a few seconds.
2. MANUAL PROGRAM
• Press menu button, select manual and press check to confirm. User arrow
keys to select desired time and check to confirm. Begin your workout.
3. INTERVAL PROGRAM - allows user to set specific work to rest interval
ratios and total number of intervals based on performance goals.
• Press menu button, arrow down to interval and press check to confirm. Choose
time or distance using the arrow keys and check to confirm; select work time
and rest time using the arrow keys and press check to confirm; use arrow keys to
select number of desired intervals, check to confirm. Begin your interval workout.
4. CHALLENGE PROGRAM – allows user to set very specific time and distance
targets to ensure they achieve their training objectives. A pace line is set
based on these goals and allows the user to chase the goal line.
• Press menu button and arrow down to challenge and press check
to confirm. Set distance using the arrow keys and check to confirm;
select time using the arrow keys and check to confirm; start
rowing and chase the pace line to meet your target goal.

PROFILE
This menu option allows the user to enter personal data (i.e. gender, age, height,
weight) when wearing a HR strap to more accurately calculate calories burned.
OPTION
• SUPPORT – shows serial number, firmware version,
etc. which are useful if service is needed.
• DRAG RATIO – measures how much the flywheel is slowing down to determine how
fast or slow the "boat" is. This rate of deceleration is called the drag ratio. For each
stroke, the console uses the drag ratio to determine how much work is being done
based on the speed of the flywheel. In this way, true effort is calculated regardless
of resistance setting. This self-calibration is what allows the user to compare their
performance on different indoor rowers.
Different indoor rowers can have different drag ratio ranges. A resistance setting
of 3 on one machine may feel like a 4 on another. Differences in belt tension,
magnet position, etc. can all affect the drag ratio from machine to machine.

MANAGER MODE

To enter manager mode, press the up and down arrows simultaneously for 3-5
seconds. To exit manager mode, press and hold the menu button for 3 seconds.
