IMPORTANT USE AND SAFETY NOTES

Failure to follow the below safety requirements may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

BASIC SAFETY

use or play on the Echo Rower can result in injury. · Keep children and pets away from the Echo Rower. It has moving parts and
can result in accidental injury. · Do not use machine if any parts are damaged, worn out, or in a weak state.
Use only genuine Rogue replacement parts. · Injury can result from failure to failure to follow the safety instructions

STORAGE AND SET-UP
· Find a level area to use the Echo Rower. Be sure all legs have steady contact with the ground and the rower is stable.
· Always lock the frame using the framelock before moving the rower.
· DO NOT stand the Echo Rower up on its base or lean against anything, it could fall.
· DO NOT bolt the Echo Rower to the ground, or damage/modify the frame in any way, including adding fasteners.
· USE CAUTION while assembling, when attaching the monorail to the flywheel, and when locking/unlocking the framelock.

DURING USE
· Keep fingers, wires, and loose clothing away from seat rollers and roller tracks. The seat can roll over items in its path.
· Always use two hands while rowing. Do not use with only one hand, it puts an excessive stress on the chain and your body.
· Pull the chain straight back during your stroke. Pulling off-center, twisting, or rotating the chain can cause damage.
· Do not let go of the handle while rowing mid stroke. Carefully insert the handle in the handle rest or slowly retract the handle until the chain is fully retracted.
· Replace work or broken parts as soon as possible. DO NOT use the machine until they are replaced.

The Rogue Echo Rower is designed for usage class rating S for professional, institutional and/or commercial use, and Accuracy Class “A” for High Accuracy Training Data, as defined per ISO 20957-1 Safety Standards. Testing parameters: Lab tested on dynamometer using full range of motion on all dampers settings (1-10) and at /500m pace 1:33 and 2:00.

FREE AREA: 6.2ft x 11.2ft (188cm x 342cm) WEIGHT CAPACITY: 500 lb (227 kg)

PROPER ROWING TECHNIQUE
The rowing stroke has four phases, listed below. As you move through them, keep your head in a neutral position and your shoulders low. Movement through the phases should be seamless and fluid. The drive phase (when you push off and pull) should be powerful, while the rest of the phases should be smooth and controlled. Good technique is more important than speed or resistance. Poor form can lead to injury and less effective workouts. Breathe steadily throughout the stroke. Exhale during the Drive and inhale during the Recovery. Keep your core muscles tight throughout the stroke to protect your lower back and maintain proper posture.

GETTING STARTED
BEGINNING TO ROW
· ADJUST THE FOOT STRAPS: Sit on the rowing machine and adjust the foot straps so that your feet are securely strapped in. The straps should be over the balls of your feet, not the toes.
· SET THE DAMPER: Start with a lower setting (3-5) if you’re new to rowing. You can adjust it based on your comfort and fitness level.
· SELECT YOUR WORKOUT: Choose a workout or set a target (time, distance, or calories) on the monitor.
· FOCUS ON PROPER POSTURE AND TECHNIQUE.
EASE INTO YOUR WORKOUT PLAN
· Stretch and warm up before workouts. · Master your form and technique and let your body adjust for about a week. · Don’t overdo it. Avoid starting out at full force/speed. Higher intensity
and longer duration workouts will be easier for you over time but trying to complete them too quickly could result in injury and set you back on your fitness goals.
TRACK YOUR NUMBERS
· Monitoring your progress and setting personal goals can help keep you engaged and motivated.

ADJUST YOUR MACHINE

Both the Damper and Footstraps should be adjusted.

DAMPER: Allows you to adjust the intensity and feel of your workout by regulating airflow to the flywheel, helping you tailor your rowing experience to your fitness goals. The damper setting affects the feel of the stroke but doesn’t change the mechanical resistance. Adjust the damper to suit your fitness goals and personal preference.
Higher Damper Settings: For a power-focused workout. Mimics rowing in a heavy, slow-moving boat or conditions where you have more water resistance. This setting gives a more intense workout, emphasizing power and strength.
Lower Damper Settings: For endurance and speed training. Simulates rowing in a faster, lighter boat where resistance is less. This setting is often used for endurance training and allows for faster stroke rates.

FOOT STRAP LEVER: Should be used for quick entry and exit. Do not clamp

down hard on your feet. The foot strap should be at a comfortable tension. To

set the tension: With the lever closed (down), tighten the buckle so it is just

barely snug, but not tight or uncomfortable. After the tension is set you can exit

and enter the foot straps by using only the quick release lever.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

ON A REGULAR BASIS
Like your computer, the monitor needs to download periodic updates to run smoothly. Download the Rogue Device Manager to connect and update your devices via Bluetooth. It is available on Mac or Android and free through the App store or Google Play.
DAILY
Wipe down the machine’s seat and monorail after use with a damp cloth. DO NOT use bleach, harsh solvents, or scrubs.
EVERY 50 HOURS OF USE (weekly for gyms and other facilities)
Lubricate the entire chain with approximately 1 tsp. of mineral oil, 20W motor oil, or 3-IN-ONE® on a paper towel. Wipe off the excess and test the chain. Repeat if necessary until chain glides smoothly. Do not use unapproved lubricants or solvents, including WD-40®.

DESIGNED TO MOVE The Echo Rower is intended to accommodate outdoor workouts and events. You may lift or wheel the rower.
FOLDING YOUR ECHO ROWER
1. Lift the lock latch labeled “PULL” in the center of the rower. 2. Then lift the latch labeled “LIFT” 3. Lift the center of the rower up and grab the handle at the base of the footrests. 4. Keep lifting, letting the rower fold. 5. Use your foot to control the wheel. Prevent it from rolling toward you too fast. Remove batteries if storing for more than 3 months.

EVERY 250 HOURS OF USE (monthly for gyms and other facilities)
1. Inspect Chain. If rust or stiff links are present, replace.
2. Tighten the Elastic Cord: The handle should return all the way to the fan enclosure without any slack.
3. Inspect Handle/Chain Connection. If the U-bolt is worn halfway through, the hole has widened, or the connection seems weak, the entire connection should be replaced.
4. Check for and remove dust: A flashlight, canned air, or a small vacuum may be helpful to reach dust inside the seat rail track.
5. Check Screws and Console Arm Joints. Tighten or loosen, if necessary, until the console is stable as well as adjustable.
