• Pay close attention to the installation of the display cable. Ensure it is not pinched or twisted when fitting it into the housing of the display stand and rower. A loose or damaged connection can cause the display to malfunction.
• The bolt securing the long rod for the foot pedals, located on the bottom of the machine between the foot pedals, should be snugged against the rod but may not tighten flush with the wooden rails.
• It is recommended to charge the internal battery via the USB-C port after initial setup, especially if the machine has been idle for a period.
