Congratulations on becoming a WaterRower owner.
Rowing is universally recognized as the perfect aerobic exercise - smooth,
low impact, rhythmic and whole-body - unrivalled for its physiological benefi ts
and aesthetic pleasures.
"Rowing, indoors or outdoors, at any exercise level of intensity, requires a
greater exercise expenditure than any other aerobic activity. Calories are burned
in relation to the number of muscles used and the intensity and duration of the
exercise. Rowing with a sliding seat uses a very large muscle mass since the
upper, lower and trunk muscles are used vigorously"
Dr. C Everett Koop- Former US Surgeon General
While most rowing machines imitate the action of rowing, they do so
mechanically, and therefore lack the natural dynamics experienced when a
boat and crew glide down a river.
At WaterRower, we have focused on replicating the physical dynamics of
rowing, with the knowledge that this will achieve all of its physiological benefi ts,
as well as much of the aesthetic pleasure.
To maximize the enjoyment from using your WaterRower we recommend that
you follow our suggestions on rowing technique and exercise programmes.
We hope that some of the discussion points in this manual will improve your
knowledge about exercise in general, so that you are better able to fulfi l your
specifi c exercise objectives.
Your WaterRower has been carefully hand-crafted to give you years of
trouble- free use. We recommend that you closely follow the assembly details
provided, particularly by assembling the machine in the correct sequence,
and adhering to the suggested maintenance schedule.
We hope you enjoy using your WaterRower for many years to come.

  • Page 2 Operation The WaterRower is unique in using the effect of drag to provide an exercise which is entirely self paced. Because drag is linked to speed, a crew rowing down a river chooses its intensity of exercise simply by altering the pace at which they row: the faster the boat travels the greater the drag and the harder the crew must work.
  • Page 3 Start Up Maintenance During the first weeks of use, the wood in your WaterRower will adjust to the temperature and humidity of the environment. During this period it is strongly advised that you GENTLY tighten all the Connecting Bolts with the Allen Key stored under the Rear Spacer.
