handle toward the rear of the rower.
HOW TO ADJUST THE FOOT PADS
First, sit on the seat and place your feet in the foot
pads (C).
Next, press the
footrest bracket
(D), slide the foot
pad (C) to the
desired posi-
tion, and then
release the foot-

HOW TO MOVE THE ROWER IN THE UNFOLDED
POSITION
Stand behind the
rower and lift the
rail (I) until the
rower will roll on
the wheels. Then,
carefully move
the rower to the
desired location,
and lower the rail
to the floor. Do
not hold or pull
on the console
when moving the rower.
HOW TO MOVE THE ROWER IN THE FOLDED
POSITION
See HOW TO FOLD AND STORE THE ROWER on
page 12, and fold the rower. Then, hold the frame
handle (J), place your foot on a stabilizer foot (Q), and
tip the rower until it will roll on the wheels. Carefully
move the rower to the desired location, and then tip it
into the storage position. Do not hold or pull on the
console when moving the rower.
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 directly
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.

performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly
tighten all parts each time the rower is used. 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

and the carriage rollers daily.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not turn on, make sure that the
power adapter is fully plugged in. If there are exterior
wires on the console, make sure that the connectors
on the wires are oriented correctly and are connected
firmly to the receptacles in the console.
If you are having problems connecting the console
to a wireless network, or if you are having problems
with your iFit account or iFit workouts, go to
support.iFit.com.
If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the
telephone number on the cover of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use
only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power
adapter.
If the console does not boot
up properly, or if the con-
sole freezes and does not
respond, reset the console
to the factory default set-
tings. IMPORTANT: Doing
this will erase all custom settings you have made
to the console. Resetting the console requires two
people. First, unplug the power adapter. Next, locate
the small reset opening (A) near the USB port on the
back or the side of the console. Using a bent paper
clip, press and hold the reset button inside the open-
ing, and have a second person plug in the power
adapter. Continue holding the reset button until the
console turns on. When the reset operation is com-
plete, the console will turn off and then turn back on. If
it does not, unplug and then plug in the power adapter.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, first unplug the power adapter. Then, remove
the parts described below.
First, remove the
six M4 x 10mm
Screws (70) and
gently remove
the Resistance
Handle (9).
See EXPLODED DRAWING B on page 31. Locate
the Right and Left Shields (7, 8). Remove the four
M4 x 19mm Screws (69) and the ten M4 x 16mm
Screws (68) from the Right and Left Shields. Then,
gently remove the Right and Left Shields.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (47). Turn the Left Fan
(4) until a Magnet (85) is aligned with the Reed Switch.
Then, slightly loosen the two indicated M4 x 19mm
Screws (69), slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or
away from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screws.
Plug in the power adapter, and then turn the Left
Fan (4) so that the Magnet (85) passes the Reed
Switch (47) repeatedly. Repeat the actions described
above until the console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the parts that you removed.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only
after the first few minutes of exercise does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your
goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exer-
cise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise
with your heart rate near the middle number in your
training zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at
least four minutes.
Then, stop exercis-
ing and place two
fingers on your wrist
as shown. Take a
six-second heartbeat
count, and multiply the
result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140
beats per minute.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise; never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete
three workouts each week, with at least one day of
rest between workouts. After a few months of regular
exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
27
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
