Operating Instructions
Adjusting Magnetic Resistance
Your ECHANFIT rowing machine features 16 levels of silent magnetic resistance. To adjust the resistance, locate the tension control knob on the main unit. Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance (levels 8-16 for higher intensity) and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance (levels 1-8 for lower intensity). This allows for a customized workout experience for various fitness levels.
