Assembling the Handlebar

Setting Up the Resistance
Adjusting the Damper
The damper controls the resistance level of the machine. Adjust it according to your fitness level and workout goals. A lower setting provides less resistance, while a higher setting increases resistance.
Setting the Resistance Knob
Once the damper is adjusted, use the resistance knob to fine-tune the resistance level. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase resistance and counterclockwise to decrease it.

Before using the monitor, it’s essential to zero it out. Place the machine on a level surface and press the “Reset” button on the monitor. This will ensure accurate readings.
Setting the User Profile
Enter your personal information, such as height, weight, and age, into the monitor. This data will be used to calculate calories burned and other metrics.
Proper Rowing Form

Sit upright on the seat with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes facing forward. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular Cleaning
Wipe down your rowing machine regularly with a damp cloth to remove sweat and debris. This will help prevent corrosion and extend its lifespan.
