ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

• Connect the Front Stabilizer (3) to the Main Frame (1) using two sets of 08 Flat Washers (76), M8 Domed Nuts (57), and M 8^ * 42 Carriage Bolts (62). Use an Open Spanner (85) to tighten and secure them in place.
  

STEP 2

• Secure the Seat (35) to the Seat Cushion Plate (4 in image below) using four sets of Hexagon Socket Head Screws (69), Elastic Washers (77), and Flat washers (76). Use a Hexagon Spanner (86) to tighten them securely in place.
  

STEP 3

1. Connect the Slide Rail (2) to the Main Frame (1): Line up the hole of the Main Frame (1) with the hole of the Slide Rail (2). Insert the Hexagon Socket Head Screw (93) through the aligned holes, attach the Flat Washer (91) and Lock Nut (89), then tighten and secure them using the Hexagon Spanner (95) and Open Spanner (85).
2. Align the hole of the Main Frame (part 1) with the hole of the Slide Rail (2). Thread the Ball-Headed Pin (51) through it until it reaches the end.
   Important: Always tilt up the Slide Rail (2) a little around next to the hole region to in-sert or pull out the Ball-Headed Pin (51) easily.
   

STEP 4

1. Secure the Computer Holder (7) onto the Main Frame (1) using two sets of Hexagon Socket Head Screws (58) and Elastic Washers (76). Use a Hexagon Spanner (86) to tighten them securely in place.
2. Use the Hexagon Spanner (86) to remove the four screws (82) from the Computer (54). Then, attach the Computer (54) onto the Computer Holder (7) using the same four screws (82) that were removed. Tighten and secure them with the Hexagon Spanner (86). Make sure the electronic wire (A1) is tucked through the large hole and protective cover when the Computer (54) is installed on the Computer Holder (7).
3. Connect wire A1 with A2.
   

STEP 5

• Use the Open Spanner (85) to fasten the Hexagon Bolt M12*160 (65) and the Pedals (36) onto the Main Frame (1). Make sure that the Hexagon bolts M12*160 (65) with the rubber coating are both placed on the bottom at each side and the pins without rubber coating on the top. This way the noise from the pedals is reduced while rowing.
  

STEP 6

• Once the Handlebar on the Main Frame (6 in image below) is pulled out to release the Webbing (25 in image below) and the Webbing clip (84 in image below), the rower can\ be used by pulling out the Webbing clip (84) in the direction indicated by the arrow.
  

STEP 7

• The rowing machine is now fully set op. Please connect the power plug (B1) to the pow-er outlet (B2) on the backside of the Main Frame (1). Plug the EU Adapter (94) into an electrical power outlet.
  That’s it! Now you can star your rowing workout.
  

STORAGE

When not in use, you can save space by folding the Slide Rail (2). Simply lift the Slide Rail (2) up a little, pull out the Ball-Headed Pin (51) and fold the Slide Rail (2) to a vertical angle.

Safety Note: Please be aware that the Seat (35) will glide down when folding the Slide Rail (2). After folding, reinsert Ball-Headed Pin (51) into hole L1 on the Main Frame (1) to secure the Slide Rail (2).

2. Hamstring stretch: Sit on a clean surface with
   one leg straight. Bring the other leg inward, close to the straight leg, and try to touch your toes with your hand. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, then relax. Repeat for each leg three times (see Figure 2).
   
3. Stretch for legs and feet tendons: Stand with one foot against a wall or tree, keeping the leg straight and the heel tilted towards the wall or tree. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, then relax. Repeat for each leg three times (see Figure 3).
   
4. Quadriceps stretch: Use a wall or table for balance, reaching your right hand back to grasp your right foot, pulling it slowly towards your buttocks until you feel tension in the front thigh muscles. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, then relax. Repeat for each leg three times (see Figure 4).
   
5. Sartorius muscle (inner thigh muscles) stretch: Sit down with your feet facing each
   other, knees outward. Grasp your feet and pull them towards your groin. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, then relax. Repeat three times (see Figure 5).
