SAFETY We recommend consulting a physician before starting out with an exercise program. Please read all instructions before using the WaterRower.

OPERATION The MyRower uses the effect of drag to provide an exercise which is entirely self paced. Because drag is linked to speed, a crew rowing down a river chooses its intensity of exercise simply by altering the pace at which they row. The faster the boat travels, the greater the drag and the harder the crew works.

MAINTENANCE - CLEANING The MyRower does not require heavy maintenance. We suggest you take care of it as you would with any other piece of furniture in your home. Regularly dust the MyRower with a soft cloth dampened with water or window cleaner. MAINTENANCE - WATER AND TANK We advise using municipal tap water to fill the tank, as it contains additives that keep it free of bacteria and algae.
