5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Water Resistance System

The YOSUDA WM-SE02 utilizes a dynamic water resistance system. The resistance level is directly proportional to the intensity of your rowing stroke. The faster and harder you row, the greater the resistance you will experience, simulating the natural feel of rowing on water. The 22-liter water tank, equipped with a 4-blade paddle, provides a smooth and consistent rowing experience.

• Distance

The monitor supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to connect to popular fitness applications on your smartphone or tablet. This enables you to track your progress, participate in virtual training sessions, and manage your fitness data scientifically and efficiently.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Water Tank Maintenance

The 22-liter leak-proof water tank requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to change the water every 90 days to maintain optimal performance and prevent odor. Use the provided water treatment tablets to keep the water clean and prevent algae growth.

6.2 General Cleaning

After each use, wipe down the rowing machine with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the wood or electronic components.

6.3 Wood Frame Care

The rowing machine is constructed from FSC-certified beech wood. To maintain its appearance and durability, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme humidity. Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.

7. Troubleshooting

• Monitor Not Displaying Data:
  Check if the monitor batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Ensure all cables connecting the monitor to the rower are securely plugged in.
• Unusual Noises During Operation:
  Inspect the seat rollers and rail for any obstructions or debris. Clean the rail if necessary. Check all bolted connections for tightness. If the noise persists, contact customer support.
• Resistance Feels Inconsistent:
  Ensure the water level in the tank is appropriate. If the water level is too low, the resistance may feel reduced. Check for any air bubbles trapped in the pump mechanism.
• Difficulty Folding the Rower:
  Ensure no cables or components are obstructing the folding mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure when folding. Do not force the mechanism.
