Requirements

• Water
• Dry cloth
• Vacuum

WARNING

1. Only use water to clean and dust. Do not use any cleaning products 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 the 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 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
