Getting Started:

• Place the rowing machine on a flat, stable surface.
• Adjust the foot straps to secure your feet firmly to the pedals.
• Sit on the ergonomic padded seat and grasp the handlebars with both hands.

Adjusting Resistance:

The Dripex Rowing Machine offers 16 levels of magnetic resistance. Locate the tension control knob on the main frame. Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance for a more challenging workout, and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance for an easier session. This allows for customization to suit all fitness levels, from beginners to experienced rowers.

The integrated LCD monitor accurately records your exercise data. It displays metrics such as scan (cycles through all data), count (strokes), distance, time, calories burned, and total count. Use the "SET", "MODE", and "RESET" buttons to navigate and clear data.

For enhanced tracking and interactive workouts, connect your smartphone or device to the rowing machine via Bluetooth. This allows you to track your exercise metrics in real-time through a compatible app and access various live training videos for a more engaging experience.
