5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Getting Started
- Sit on the seat and place your feet securely in the footrests, adjusting the straps for a snug fit.
- Grasp the handlebar with both hands, palms down.
5.2 Rowing Technique
A proper rowing stroke involves three phases: the catch, the drive, and the finish, followed by the recovery.
- Catch: Knees bent, shins vertical, arms extended forward, back straight, shoulders relaxed.
- Drive: Push off with your legs, then swing your back, and finally pull with your arms towards your abdomen.
- Finish: Legs extended, back slightly reclined, handlebar at your abdomen, elbows past your body.
- Recovery: Extend arms, pivot forward from hips, then bend knees to slide forward to the catch position.
Figure 3: Proper rowing technique engages over 85% of muscle groups, including arms, chest, core, back, glutes, and legs.
5.3 Resistance Adjustment
The Neezee Z3 Pro features a dual resistance system:
- Water Resistance (6 Levels): The primary resistance comes from the water tank. The resistance level naturally increases with the intensity and speed of your stroke. The water level in the tank can also be adjusted to fine-tune the base resistance.
- Mechanical Resistance (32 Levels): Use the dial on the front of the machine to adjust the mechanical resistance. This allows for precise control over your workout intensity, complementing the natural water resistance.

- Total Strokes: Cumulative number of strokes.
- Distance: Estimated distance rowed.
- Calories: Estimated calories burned.
