IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
DANGER — To reduce the risk of electric shock: Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning. WARNING -To reduce the risk of burns, fire. electric shock, or injury to persons, install the Rower on a flat level surface with access to a 110-volt 15-amp grounded outlet with only the Rower plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:

• Do not operate Rower on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and Rower may result.
• Keep children away from the Rower. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can cause harm.
• Keep hands away from all moving parts.
• Never operate the Rower if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the Rower is not working properly, call your dealer.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.
• Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
• Do not use outdoors.
• To disconnect. turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.
• Do not attempt to use your Rower for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
• The use of a chest strap transmitter (sold separately) is an accurate method of heart rate analysis. Various factors, including the user’s movement. may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.
• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your Rower. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Keep children under the age of 13 away from this machine.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTIONS-THINK FOR SAFETY!

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent l,109,4 or more, the performance of your Rower may he affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVERexpose this Rower to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a Rower is first turned on or even during use. If your Rower is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the Rower itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacturer have no ability to control. This part is available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part tt 1D237, or available online at www.squared.com part tilQ0120HM. The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated 15 amp circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER operate this Rower without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer.

• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your Rower: such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Before we get started, a word about Heat Rate: The old motto,'”no pain, no gain; is a myth that has beenowcpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heat rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choke of exercise intensitratas either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefits range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR! for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your R/HR. Your Heart rate training zone is WM: to 90 bb of your maximum heart rate. e(rt. of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80’15 is for strengthening the cardiovascular system. This 60’15 to 80’h is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated:
220-40 = 180 (maximum heart rate] 180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum 180 X .8 =144 beats per minute (80% of maximum;
So for a 40year old, the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise, are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 6015, respectively, of your MFIR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all SOLE Heart Rate elliptical machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate program This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables invoked in how hard you should workout than just heart ratelbur stress [wet, physical health, emotional health temperature, humidity, the time of clay the last time you ate and what you ate., all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body it will tell you all of these things. The rate of perceived exertion; RPE, also known as the Borg scale……yas developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 0 to 20 depending upon ho.•.•v you feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows: Rating
Perception of Effort
0Minimal
7Veryvery light.
8Verypery light +
9Very light
10Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17 Very hard
18Very hard +
19Veryvery hard
20 Maximal
you can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example, a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute.Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier which is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you wilt feel strong and your pace will feel easier.When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. ff you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In thisconclition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this wine shows up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.
