4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Adjusting Resistance

The Zipro Nix Rower features an 8-level magnetic resistance system. To adjust the resistance, locate the rotary knob on the main unit, typically near the footrests. Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance (levels 1-8) and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Start with a lower resistance level and gradually increase as your fitness improves.

• Power On/Off: The console typically powers on automatically when you begin rowing or press any button. It will power off after a period of inactivity.
• Functions: The display cycles through or allows selection of the following metrics:
  • TIME: Duration of your workout.
  • COUNT (Strokes): Total number of strokes performed.
  • CALORIES: Estimated calories burned during the workout.
  • SPEED: Current rowing speed.
  • PULSE: Heart rate (if a compatible heart rate monitor is used and connected).
• Reset: Press and hold the button (usually marked 'MODE' or 'RESET') to clear all current workout data.

4.3. Proper Rowing Technique

To maximize effectiveness and prevent injury, maintain proper form:

• Catch: Start with knees bent, arms extended forward, and back straight.
• Drive: Push off with your legs, then lean back slightly, and finally pull the handlebar towards your abdomen.
• Finish: Legs are extended, body leans back slightly, and handlebar is at your abdomen.
• Recovery: Extend arms forward, then lean forward, and finally bend knees to return to the catch position.

5. Maintenance and Storage

5.1. Cleaning

Wipe down the rower after each use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or electronic components.

5.2. Lubrication

The magnetic resistance system is largely maintenance-free. However, periodically check the seat rail for any debris and wipe it clean. If the seat movement becomes less smooth, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rail, but avoid oil-based lubricants.

5.3. Storage

The Zipro Nix Rower is designed to be foldable for compact storage, saving space when not in use.

1. Folding: Follow the instructions in your assembly manual for folding the rower into its vertical position. This typically involves releasing a locking pin or knob and folding the rail upwards.
2. Transport: Utilize the integrated transport wheels located on the rear stabilizer to easily move the rower. Tilt the rower onto its wheels and push it to your desired storage location.
