Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in�
The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn�
Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal�

Heart rate

Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)
‼ NOTE
• A chest strap does not come standard with this trainer� When
you like to use a wireless chest strap you need to purchase this
as an accessory�
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart
rate chest belt� The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver
in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt� Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are
slight moist and constantly touching the skin� If the electrodes are
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less
accurate�
⚠ WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a
heartrate chest belt�
⚠ CAUTION
• If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1�5
metres�
• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate
transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter
is within transmission range�
‼ NOTE
• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly
in contact with your skin� Do not wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes� If you wear the heart rate chest belt above
your clothes, there will be no signal�
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded�
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a
distance of 1 metre� If the electrodes are not moist, the heart
rate will not appear on the display�
• Some fibers in clothes (e�g� polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement�
• Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances
create an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate
heart rate measurement�
Maximum heart rate (during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely
achieve through exercise stress� The following formula is used to
calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum
heart rate varies from person to person�
⚠ WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate
during your workout� If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician�

Use

Adjusting the support feet (Fig. E)

The equipment is equipped with adjustable support feet�
If the equipment feels unstable, wobbly, or not levelled well, these
support feet can be adjusted to make the required corrections�
- Turn the support feet in/ out as required to put the equipment in a
stable and as well possible levelled position�
- Tighten the locknut's* to lock the support feet�
‼ NOTE

possible� Therefore, start to level the equipment by turning all
support feet fully in, before turning out the required support
feet to stabilize and level the equipment�
• The centre foot suppose to be a few millimetres from the floor
when not seated on the rower seat�

Adjusting resistance

To increase or decrease resistance, turn the adjustment knob at the
top of the handlebar support tube clockwise (+ direction) to increase
resistance and counter-clockwise (- direction) to decrease resistance�
The scale above the knob (1-8) helps you find and set a suitable
resistance�
