• Finish: Legs extended, body leaning back slightly, handle at your lower ribs.
• Recovery: Extend arms forward, then lean forward from the hips, and finally bend your knees to slide the seat forward.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your rowing machine.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Rail Cleaning: Keep the seat rail clean and free of debris to ensure smooth seat movement.
• Bolt Check: Periodically check all bolts and connections for tightness. Tighten as necessary.
• Lubrication: The magnetic resistance system generally requires no lubrication. Refer to specific instructions if any moving parts develop friction.
