Handling the equipment

Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to ensure that it has been correctly assembled. Do not set the equipment up in rooms which are frequently used or close to doors, entries etc. It is not recommended to use or store the apparatus in a damp room as this may cause it to rust. Please ensure that no part of the machine comes in contact with liquids (drinks, perspiration etc.). This may cause corrosion. The rowing machine must be set up on an even impact-resistant base. To absorb the vibrations, lay a straw or rubber mat under the machine. The product is designed for use by adults and children should not be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave unpredictably and dangerous situations may occur for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. If, in spite of this, children are allowed to use the equipment, ensure that they are instructed in its proper use and supervised accordingly. On principle, the equipment does not require any special maintenance. All bearings are pre-lubricated (further lubrication is not required) and require little maintenance. A few drops of viscous oil should be applied to the bearing sleeves of the hydraulic absorbers and the rowing levers.
Care should be taken that the oil does not drip onto the floor! After a longer period of disuse, the hydraulic absorbers may not achieve their best performance at once. Before beginning exercising or after a period of disuse, it is recommended to activate the absorbers by several pumping movements. Do not use corrosive or abrasive materials to clean the equipment. Ensure that such materials are not allowed to pollute the environment. To operate correctly, the pulse function requires a minimum voltage of 2,7 volts. Please ensure that liquids or perspiration never enter the machine or the electronics. Before use, always check all screws and plug-in connections as well as respective safety devices fit correctly. When training intensivly shock absorbers may become very hot. Please avoid contact and do not touch the shock absorbers after training.

Instructions for Assembly
Ensure that you have received all the parts required (see check list) and that they are undamaged. Should you have any cause for complaint, please contact your KETTLER dealer. Before assembling the equipment, study the drawings carefully and carry out the operations in the order shown by the diagrams. The correct sequence is given in capital letters. Please note that there is always a danger of injury when working with tools or doing manual work. Therefore please be careful when assembling this machine. Ensure that your working area is free of possible sources of danger, for example dont leave any tools lying around. Always dispose packaging material in such a way that it may not cause any danger. There is always a risk of suffocation if children play with plastic bags! The equipment must be assembled with due care by an adult person. If in doubt call upon the help of a second person, if possible technically talented. The fastening material required for each assembly step is shown in the diagram inset. Use the fastening material exactly as instructed. The required tools are supplied with the equipment. Bolt all the parts together loosely at first, and check that they have been assembled correctly. Tighten the locknuts by hand until resistance is felt, then use spanner to finally tighten nuts completely against resistance (locking device). Then check that all screw connections have been tightened firmly. Attention: once locknuts have been unscrewed they no longer function correctly (the locking device is destroyed), and must be replaced.
Please keep original packaging of this article, so that it may be used for transport at a later date, if necessary. For technical reasons, we reserve the right to carry out preliminary assembly work (e.g. addition of tubing plugs).
Assembly step D: Insert the hexagon bolts M8 x 50 mm (short thread) and secure them with washers and gold-coloured safety nuts. The safety nuts may seem stiff. This is not a defect, but is intended to secure them against unintentional loosening. In order to alter the power setting (rowing resistance), the clamps can be loosened and moved up or down the rowing arms/oars. The knurled markers (see triangular arrow) make it possible to set both clamps at the same level. Before using the rowing machine, make sure that the knurled knops are absolutly tight. Clamps at lowest knurled marker=lowest power level Clamps at highest knurled marker=highest power level

List of spare parts

When ordering spare parts, always state the full article number, spare-part number, the quantity required and the inspection number stamped on the back. Example order: Art. no. 7978-900 / spare-part no. 33100100/ 2 pieces / inspection no. Important: spare part prices do not include fastening material; if fastening material (bolts, nuts, washers etc.) is required, this should be clearly stated on the order by adding the words with fastening material.
