Description (fig. A)
Your rower is a piece of stationary fitness equipment used to simulate rowing
without causing excessive pressure to the joints.
Package contents (fig. B & C)
– The package contains the parts as shown in fig. B.
– The package contains the fasteners as shown in fig. C. Refer to the section
“Description”
NOTE
· If a part is missing, contact your dealer.
Assembly (fig. D) WARNING
· Assemble the equipment in the given order. · Carry and move the equipment
with at least
two persons.
CAUTION
· Place the equipment on a firm, level surface. · Place the equipment on a
protective base to
prevent damage to the floor surface. · Allow at least 100 cm of clearance
around
the equipment.
· Refer to the illustrations for the correct assembly of the equipment.
Adjust tank water level
Filling the tank with water (Fig.
E-3)
– Remove the rubber tank plug (33) from the top of the tank.
– Place a large bucket of water next to the rower and position the siphon with
the rigid hose in the bucket and the flexible hose into the tank as shown.
Make sure the small breather valve on the top of the siphon is closed before
filling.
NOTE
· 13 liters of water is required for maximum filling.
· Where water quality is poor, we recommend using distilled water.
· Putting the bucket higher than the tank will allow the siphon to “self-pump”
when adding water to the tank.
· Consider using a towel under the bucket and water tank preventing stains on
the floor.
WARNING
· Filling the water level over the Maximum level might result in water leakage
during workout.
– Begin filling the tank by squeezing the siphon. Use the level gauge decal on
the side of the tank to measure volume of water in the tank.
– After filling the tank to the desired water level, open the valve on the top
of the siphon to
16
English
allow excess water to escape. – Ensure that the tank plug is replaced once
filling and water treatment procedures are complete.
Removing water from the tank
(Fig. E-4)
– Remove the tank plug. – Insert the siphon rigid hose end into the tank –
Insert the siphon flexible hose end into a large
bucket. – Drain the tank (approx. 20% of water will remain
in the tank. It is not possible to drain the tank completely without
disassembling the tank) – Refill the tank following the directions as
described under the section “Filling the tank” of this manual.
NOTE
· If the water treatment schedule is maintained, it will not be necessary to
change the water inside the tank. An additional water treatment tablet is only
required when discolouration of the water appears.
· Exposure to sunlight affects the water. Moving the rower away from direct
sunlight will extend time between water treatments
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to
improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first
30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to
one hour. Start your workout at low speed and low resistance to prevent the
cardiovascular system from being subjected to excessive strain. As the fitness
level improves, speed and resistance can be increased gradually. The
efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring your heart rate and
your pulse rate.
Exercise Instructions
Using your fitness trainer will provide you with several benefits, it will
improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a calorie
controlled diet help you lose weight.
The warming up phase This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body
and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and
muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown
below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force
or jerk your muscles into a stretch – if it hurts, STOP
Water treatment
– Add one water treatment tablet. – Add a water treatment tablet whenever the
water appears dirty or cloudy over time.
WARNING
· Only use the Tunturi supplied water treatment tablets.
Workouts
The workout must 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 fitness. You should perspire, but you should not get out of
breath during the workout.
The exercise phase This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become more flexible. Work to your but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.
HEART RATE 200 180 160 140 120 100 80
TARGET ZONE
MAXIMUM 85 % 70 % COOL DOWN
20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 AGE
This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at about 15-20 minutes
17
English
The cool down phase This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and
muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your
tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should
now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the
stretch. As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is
advisable to train at least three times a week, and if possible space your
workouts evenly throughout the week.
Muscle toning To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to
have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg
muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you
are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training
program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases,
but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance
making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your
heart rate in the target zone.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Beginner 50-60% of maximum heart rate Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers,
convalescents and persons who have not exercised for a long time. Exercise at
least three
18
English
times a week, 30 minutes at a time.
Advanced 60-70% of maximum heart rate Suitable for persons who want to improve
and maintain fitness. Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a
time.
