rear support. Attach the rubber rear stopper of the seat
under the rail with a washer and 3/16” Phillips screw.
RAIL FIG. 4
Connect the meter wire coming from the rail and the
wire from the frame to each other. Position the front
end of the rail in place between the lugs on the front
frame. Be careful not to damage the wires! Place a
3/8” washer at the end of the 3/8” x 5” bolt, and push
the bolt through the lugs and the front end of the rail.
Put a 3/8” washer and a locking nut on the end of the
bolt and tighten the nut with a 15 mm wrench.
COTTER PIN FIG. 4
Thread the cotter pin of the rail through the front
frame lug and front end of the rail. Tighten the cotter
pin. NOTE! By detaching the cotter pin, you can lift
up the rail for storage to save space.
DRAWBAR FIG. 5
Thread the U-shaped screw through the loop at the
end of the draw-wire and on through the holes in the
drawbar. The larger holes in the drawbar must face
the user. Position 3/8” washers and locking nuts at the
ends of the U-shaped screw and tighten the nuts with
a 15 mm wrench. Remove the metal stopper from the
draw-wire.
METER FIG. 6
Thread the meter’s locking screw through the holder
at the back of the meter. Connect the meter wires to
the sockets at the back of the meter (the wire marked
HR to the lower connector) and attach the meter at a
suitable angle by tightening the locking screw with a
capnut.
METER
The meter switches on automatically when you
start rowing or press the RESET-key on the meter,
and switches off when you have not exercised or
pressed the key for about 4 minutes. You can reset the
readings by pressing the
RESET key.
Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it may
damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the meter
from water and avoid severe impacts, as these may
also damage the meter.
DISPLAYS
STROKES:
Counts rowed strokes upwards (0-9999).
TIME:
Shows time counted upwards (0:00-59:59).
STROKES/MIN:
Number of strokes per minute (0-999).
DISTANCE:
Shows cumulatively distance in kilometres (0.00-
99.99).
PULSE:
Shows pulse frequency per minute (70-199) beats /
minute). NOTE! The meter is fi tted with an internal
heart rate receiver to make it compatible with uncoded
Polar telemetric heart rate transmitters (available from
your Tunturi dealer as an accessory).
USE
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In
addition to strengthening the heart and improving
circulation, it develops the various groups of large
muscles: the back, the abdomen, the arms, the
shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs. Rowing
also develops muscular fl exibility without exertion of
joints, and it is a recommended form of exercise for
those who suffer from pains in the neck and shoulder
area.
Working out using a rowing machine is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise
should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic
exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum
oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and
fi tness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is
directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant.
You should perspire, but you should not get out of
breath during the workout. You should exercise at
least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to
reach a basic fi tness level. Maintaining this level
requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once
the basic condition has been reached, it is easily
improved, simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss,
because it is the only way of increasing the energy
spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile
to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A
dieter should exercise daily - at fi rst 30 minutes or less
at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time
to one hour. You should start slowly at a low pedaling
speed and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and
circulatory system to excessive strain. As fi tness
improves, resistance and speed can be increased
gradually.
ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
For the rowing machine with the wind resistance
feature, rowing resistance depends on the strength of
the strokes. So the harder the strokes, the greater the
resistance.
SERVICE
The rower requires a minimum of maintenance. From
time to time, check that all fi xing screws and nuts
are securely tightened. Clean the device with a damp
cloth.
Do not use solvents. Check the condition of the
wire before every training session.
If you notice any defects or malfunctions in
the device during the use, contact your dealer
immediately. In spite of continuous quality control,
individual defects and malfunctions may occur
due to individual components. It is in most cases
