ProForm 550r Rower English Manual - Page 11

HOW TO ROW ON THE ROWER Sit on the seat, place your feet in the footrests, and adjust the straps to fit your feet. Then, hold the row bar with an overhand grip. Correct rowing form consists of three phases: 1. The first phase is the CATCH. Slide the seat forward until your knees are almost touching your chest. Pull the row bar until your hands are above your feet. 2. The second phase is the DRIVE. Push backward with your legs. Lean back slightly at the hips (not at the waist), keeping your back straight. As you straighten your legs, pull the row bar toward your chest. Keep your elbows outward. 3. The third phase is the FINISH. Your legs should be nearly straight. Continue to pull the row bar until your hands are even with your chest. After the finish phase, extend your arms forward and pull the seat forward using your legs. Repeat this sequence, moving through all three phases with a smooth, fluid motion. Remember to breathe normally as you row; never hold your breath. MAINTENANCE Inspect and tighten all parts of the rower regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To clean the rower, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight. For best results, clean the rail, the seat carriage, and the carriage rollers daily. CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING Most console problems are the result of low batteries; for replacement instructions, see assembly step 6 on page 8.
