Assembly Instructions

Description

Your rower is a piece of stationary fitness equipment used to simulate rowing without causing excessive pressure to the joints.

Assembly

Warning

If a part is missing, contact your dealer.
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.
The rowing machine is shipped in the locked storage position.
Push the front tube folded on the frame up and forward.
Pull the locking pin up and press the front frame downward simultaneously by the pulley wheel cover.
Release the locking pin and ensure that the front frame is in locked forward position.
Always tighten the locking pin before you begin to exercise.

Adjust the console so that it is in an appropriate angle for exercise.

Power Supply

The trainer is powered by an external power supply.

NOTE

Connect the power supply with the trainer before connecting it to the wall outlet.
Always remove power cord when machine is not in use.

Prepare Hand Grip Control

To avoid battery drainage during transport and storage we have applied a battery insulation strip in the hand grip control unit.
This needs to be pulled out, in a careful yet smooth movement, prior to use hand grip controls.

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.
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

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.

The exercise phase

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at about 15-20 minutes

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.

Heart Rate

Heart Rate Measurement (Heart Rate Chest Belt)
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.

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.

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 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.

Expert
70-80% of Maximum Heart Rate
Suitable for the fittest of persons who are used to long-endurance workouts.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The equipment does not require special maintenance. The equipment does not require recalibration when it is assembled, used and serviced according to the instructions.

WARNING

Do not use solvents to clean the equipment.
Clean the equipment with a soft, absorbent cloth after each use.
Regularly check that all screws and nuts are tight.
If necessary, lubricate the joints.
Clean the inner surfaces of the rail if necessary so that the seat moves as smoothly and quietly as possible. If necessary, you may improve the seat movement by adding paraffin to the surface of the rails.

Troubleshooting

Despite continuous quality control, defects and malfunctions caused by individual components may occur in the equipment. In most cases it’s unnecessary to take the whole device in for repair, as it’s usually sufficient to replace the defective part.
If the equipment does not function properly during use, contact your Tunturi dealer immediately. Always give the model and serial number of your equipment. Please state also the nature of the problem, conditions of use and purchase date.
If you require spare parts, always give the model, serial number of your equipment and the spare part number for the part you need. The spare part list is at the back of this manual. Use only spare parts mentioned in the spare part list.

Remote Control Does Not Work

When the remote control integrated in the handlebar does not work anymore it is probably not paired anymore.
To re-establish the connection between your handlebar control unit and your display the handlebar must be powered by battery power first prior to the rower console. Therefore:

Unplug the rowing machine’s transformer.
Open the battery house on the back side of the handlebar and take out the handlebar’s CR2032 battery. (wait for 2 seconds)
Reinstall the CR2032 battery, and close it’s back cover again.
Plug in the rowing machine’s transformer, and wait at least 10 seconds (if not wait 10 sec. the procedure will fail).
Try if it can work, by pressing start key on display and use UP/Down keys on remote to see if this can adjust the tension level.

This should re-establish the connection again.
When the remote control integrated in the hand grip bar does not work still, it is most likely that the battery in the hand grip bar ran out of power. Replace the CR2032 cell battery for a new one.

NOTE

When installing the CR2032 battery, make sure you insert it correctly to avoid the polarity of the battery is incorrect.
Make sure the metal hook is over the battery as shown in the picture.
Polarity: – face down & + face Up

Remote control does not work

Squeaking Rollers

When sliding wheels are making noise during sliding movement, apply 2cc. of lubricant on each protruding rail surface immediately.

CAUTION

We recommend to use a silicon based lubricant.
Do not apply too much lubricant or wipe off redundant lubricant with a clean cloth as too much lubricant can cause carpet stain or dirt particle.
