VENTUS 3 ASSEMBLY

The rower has been assembled and tested at the factory, so you shouldn’t have any problems putting all the parts together. Components are designed to fit together, and only basic tools are required for the assembly process. Inside the box you will find a Tools Pack (Hex Allen Key, Spanner, Washers and Bolts). See previous page.

To assemble your JLL Ventus 3 please follow these easy steps:

STEP 1
Start by removing the two square neck bolts (9), arc washers (10), spring washers (11) and nuts (12) in the mainframe (27) and use them to attach the front stabiliser (6).

STEP 2
Next, remove the two cross pan head screws (31) from the end of the slideway. Slide the saddle onto the frame and reattach the screws.
Then attach the two limiters (34) on the underside of the slideway using two bolts (35) from the tools pack.

STEP 3
Split the rail cover (36/37) into two pieces by removing the screw (25). Then attach it over the end of the slideway and secure using the screw just removed.
Fix the rear supporter (38) to the underside of the slideway using four Allen head bolts (24), flat washers (3) and spring washers (11).

STEP 4
Remove the bolts (24) and washers (10+11) from the mainframe (27).
Split the guide rail cover (26L/R) apart by removing the screws (25).
Attach the slideway to the mainframe using the bolts and washers removed earlier and then secure the guide rail covers over the top using the screws.

STEP 5
Remove the bolts (22) and washers (11+23) from the mainframe (27).
Attach the pedal seats (30) to either side of the base using these bolts, then add the pedals (29) on top using two bolts (24) for either side.

STEP 6
Pull out the extension wire (16a) from the display post (67) and connect it to the wire (15a) from the monitor (15).
Return the wires back into the post and secure the monitor to the post with the IP frame (105) in between the two using the screws found in the back.

Lastly insert the power adapter into the front of the machine and plug into a power socket.

STORING THE ROWING MACHINE

When not in use, you can save space by tilting the machine upright.

ADJUSTING THE PEDALS STRAPS

The length of the straps can be adjusted to suit the users foot size. Use the red hoop at the end of the strap to pull the velcro tighter across your foot until you feel it is secure.

MOVING THE MACHINE

There are a set of transport wheels on the front stabiliser. Lift the rear stabiliser until the front wheels touch the ground and roll to your desired location.

MONITOR ANGLE

You can adjust the angle of the monitor by pivoting it up or down on the arm from the base. The angle may need to be changed due to the users height or the amount of light within a room reflecting off the screen.

TESTING THE ROWER OPERATION

Use the following instructions to test the full resistance of the rower and to check the chord for proper operation.

1. Sit on the machine and place your feet on the footplates, gently complete a few strokes.
2. Check the monitor to make sure the digits are changing.
3. As you are performing each stroke make sure the chord is retracting fully into in the base and is not slack.

4 Maintenance

Maintenance must be performed on a regular basis. Performing maintenance actions can aid in providing safe and trouble-free operation of all JLL® equipment.

JLL® are not responsible for performing regular inspection and maintenance actions for your machine. JLL® representatives are available to answer any questions that you may have on +44 (0)800 6123 988.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES

Keeping the rowing machine in a clean state will help to prolong its life. Perform regular preventive maintenance to ensure normal operation of the unit. Keep a log of all maintenance actions to assist in staying current with all preventive maintenance activities. JLL® is not responsible for performing regular inspection or maintenance.

Read all instructions and warnings listed both in this chapter and in the Safety chapter. Contact JLL® Customer Service on +44 (0)800 6123 988 for any maintenance or service concerns.

Requirements:

• Water
• Dry cloth
• Vacuum

WARNING

1. Only use water to clean and dust. Do not use any cleaning product because they may damage the rower.
2. Be careful not to spill or get excessive moisture between the edge of the display panel, as this might create an electrical hazard or cause failure of the electronics.
3. Direct spraying could cause damage to the electronics and may void the warranty.

Depending on where the rowing machine is placed, you may experience dry air, causing a common experience of static electricity. You can notice that by walking across a carpet and then touching a metal object. On your rower you may experience a shock due to the build-up of static electricity on your body and the discharge path of the rower. If you experience this type of situation, you may want to increase the humidity to a comfortable level through the use of a humidifier.

Check your machine regularly for rust. If rust starts to appear on the screws it means the item is not housed in the correct environment and will need to be moved to a more suitable room. Any rust will indicate there may be moisture in the air and as a result this could impact on the integrity and performance of your machine.

WARNING

1. Use only JLL® replacement parts.
2. Keep water and liquids away from electrical parts.
3. If you allow your machine to become rusty, this will affect your warranty.

ROWER CLEANING

Keep the slideway free of dust and debris for smooth running and preventing injuries. Debris may cause damage to the rollers underneath the saddle.

After every workout use a neat, dry cloth for cleaning the machine and the handlebars to prevent the unit of corrosion. Wipe away any sweat that may have dripped. Avoid scratching the display by using a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.

3 EASY STEPS TO CLEAN YOUR ROWING MACHINE

Recommendation (these are just a guideline):

• Use a clean cloth to wipe down the whole machine.
• Vacuum or sweep the floor underneath and around the rower to prevent any dust going into the machine. A treadmill mat can help to reduce dust.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft damp cloth to clean machines entire cover area.
  When not using product for an extended period of time the product should be folded and stored in a suitable environment.
