rear support. Attach the rubber rear stopper of the seat 

under the rail with a washer and 3/16” Phillips screw.

Connect the meter wire coming from the rail and the 

wire from the frame to each other. Position the front 

end of the rail in place between the lugs on the front 

frame. Be careful not to damage the wires! Place a 

3/8” washer at the end of the 3/8” x 5” bolt, and push 

the bolt through the lugs and the front end of the rail. 

Put a 3/8” washer and a locking nut on the end of the 

bolt and tighten the nut with a 15 mm wrench.

Thread the cotter pin of the rail through the front 

frame lug and front end of the rail. Tighten the cotter 
pin. 

By detaching the cotter pin, you can lift 

up the rail for storage to save space.

Thread  the U-shaped screw through the loop at the 

end of the draw-wire and on through the holes in the 

drawbar. The larger holes in the drawbar must face 

the user. Position 3/8” washers and locking nuts at the 

ends of the U-shaped screw and tighten the nuts with 

a 15 mm wrench. Remove the metal stopper from the 

draw-wire.

Thread the meter’s locking screw through the holder 

at the back of the meter. Connect the meter wires to 

the sockets at the back of the meter (the wire marked 

to the lower connector) and attach the meter at a 

suitable angle by tightening the locking screw with a 

capnut.

The meter switches on automatically when you 
start rowing or press the 

-key on the meter, 

and switches off when you have not exercised or 

pressed the key for about 4 minutes. You can reset the 
readings by pressing the 

key.

Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it may 

damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the meter 

from water and avoid severe impacts,  as these may 

also damage the meter.

Counts rowed strokes upwards (0-9999).

Shows time counted upwards (0:00-59:59).

Number of strokes per minute (0-999).

Shows cumulatively distance in kilometres (0.00-

99.99).

Shows pulse frequency per minute (70-199) beats /

The meter is fi tted with an internal 

heart rate receiver to make it compatible with uncoded 

Polar telemetric heart rate transmitters  (available from 

your Tunturi dealer as an accessory).

Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In 

addition to strengthening the heart and improving 

circulation, it develops the various groups of large 

muscles: the back, the abdomen, the arms, the 

shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs.  Rowing 

also develops muscular fl exibility without exertion of 

joints, and it is a recommended form of exercise for 

those who suffer from pains in the neck and shoulder 

area.

Working out using a rowing machine is excellent 

aerobic exercise,  the principle being that the exercise 

should 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 

fi tness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is 

directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. 

Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. 

You should perspire, but you should not get out of 

breath during the workout. You should exercise at 

reach a basic fi tness level. Maintaining this level 

requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once 

the basic condition has been reached, it is easily 

improved, simply by increasing the number of 

exercise sessions.

Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, 

because it is the only way of increasing the energy 

spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile 

to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A 

dieter should exercise daily - at fi rst 30 minutes or less 

at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time 

to one hour. You should start slowly at a low pedaling 

speed and low resistance, because for an overweight 

person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and 

circulatory system to excessive strain. As fi tness 

improves, resistance and speed can be increased 

gradually.

For the rowing machine with the wind resistance 

feature,  rowing resistance depends on the strength of 

the strokes. So the harder the strokes, the greater the 

resistance.

The rower requires a minimum of maintenance. From 

time to time, check that all fi xing screws and nuts 

are securely tightened. Clean the device with a damp 

cloth.

Do not use solvents. Check the condition of the 

wire before every training session.

immediately. In spite of continuous quality control, 

individual defects and malfunctions may occur 

due to individual components. It is in most cases
