Operating Instructions

Resistance Adjustment

Your rowing machine features 12 levels of hydraulic resistance. To adjust the resistance, locate the adjustment knob on each hydraulic cylinder. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the resistance level from 1 (lowest) to 12 (highest). Adjust both cylinders to the same level for balanced resistance.

Using the LCD Monitor

The integrated LCD monitor tracks your workout data. It typically displays:

• TIME: Duration of your current workout.
• COUNT: Number of rowing strokes performed.
• DISTANCE: Estimated distance covered.
• CALORIES: Estimated calories burned.

Refer to the monitor's specific buttons (e.g., MODE, RESET) for navigating display modes and resetting values. The monitor is typically powered by batteries (not AC adapter as sometimes listed in general specifications).

2. Grasp the padded handlebars with an overhand grip.
3. Begin the stroke by pushing off with your legs, then lean back slightly, and finally pull the handlebars towards your abdomen.
4. Reverse the motion smoothly: extend arms, lean forward, then bend knees to return to the starting position.
5. Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise.

Storage

The rowing machine features a flat design for convenient storage. When not in use, the metal rods can be lowered, reducing its height to approximately 15-20 cm. This allows for storage under a bed or in other compact spaces.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your rowing machine:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Hydraulic Cylinders: The hydraulic cylinders are sealed units and generally do not require user maintenance. If you notice a significant change in resistance or leakage, contact customer support.
• Seat Rail: Keep the aluminum seat rail clean and free of debris to ensure smooth gliding of the seat.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ANCHEER Hydraulic Rowing Machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Resistance or Uneven Resistance:
  Ensure both hydraulic cylinders are properly attached and the resistance knobs are set to the same level. If the issue persists, the hydraulic cylinders may need replacement.
• Squeaking or Grinding Noises:
  Check all bolted connections and tighten if loose. Lubricate moving parts if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the seat rail is clean.
• LCD Monitor Not Displaying:
  Check the battery compartment for proper battery installation and replace batteries if needed. Ensure all connections to the monitor are secure.
• Machine Feels Unstable:
  Verify that the machine is placed on a flat, level surface. Check all frame connections for tightness.
