7978-900 Favorit - Further Steps to Setting Tension

***The Favorit Rower resistance varies by the amount of leverage the user has
which depends on the positioning of the clamps on the chrome rower arms. You will
notice numerous little ridges called "knurl marks" on the lower half of the chrome
rower arms. These knurl marks are in groups of ten with a wider gap between each
set of ten ridges. There are a total of fifty knurl marks on each arm which help you
to set both left and right side at the same position such that the amount of
resistance is equal on both sides.***
***When the clamp is positioned near the lower knurl marks (near the pivot
point), the user has more leverage and thus the resistance is less and it is easier to
row. When the clamp is moved to the higher knurl marks, the user has less
leverage and it is harder to row.***
Step 1
Sometimes the accordion boot will slide up the rowing arm, therefore make
sure the accordion boot is pushed all the way down so it is covering the
pivoting joint. Picture "A" shows the boot incorrectly positioned, having slid up
the rowing arm.
Step 2
If the accordion boot needs to be adjusted, lift the rower arm up and then firmly
press the accordion boot downward covering the pivot joint completely. Picture "B"
shows the boot correctly positioned.
