Filling the Water Tank There is of course a direct link between rowing and the element of water. The MAXXUS OXFORD AXR is there- fore the ideal training device on which to implement your rowing training realistically as it provides a realistic simulation of rowing on water.

Levelling the Device For the rowing machine to stand safely and securely, the rear stand (2) is equipped with two adjustable feet (19). With these it is possible to level out the device and compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Screw both adjustable feet (19) as far as they will go into the stand (2).
Location & Storage Selecting a good location and storage space Please choose a dry, level and temperate place to locate and store your training device. In your own interests make sure that the selected training area is well ventilated to provide you with optimal oxygenation. The use or storage in damp or wet areas, such as saunas, swimming pools, etc.
Under no circumstances should you use solvents. Dry any damp areas thoroughly. To ensure optimal smooth running of the seat, clean the seat, roller guides and aluminium slide rails regularly.

Heart & Pulse Rate 100% of maximum heart rate of maximum heart rate of maximum heart rate of maximum heart rate Calculating your personal heart rate when training Calculate your personal heart rate when training as follows: 220 - Age = maximum heart rate This value represents your maximum heart rate and serves as a basis from which to calculate your personal training heart rate.
Page 21
Heart Rate Measurement using a Chest Belt A large number of MAXXUS® training devices are fitted with a wireless receiver as standard. The use of a chest belt (we recommend the exclusive use of an uncoded POLAR® chest belt) allows you to wirelessly measure heart rate.
Ensure a secure footing. Ideally, place a MAXXUS floor mat under the unit. The rower must never be bolted to the ground or fixed in any other way. This can result in substantial damage to the device.
Training Instructions In the following you will find instructions and tips to help you to do the rowing movements correctly. Rowing Movement – complete body Step 1: Preparation Make sure that your feet are in positioned correctly on the pedals and that they are adjusted correctly to fit your shoe size with the straps firmly around your feet.
Page 24
Training Instructions Rowing Movement – Arms Only Step 1: Preparation Make sure that your feet are in the optimum position, ie, that the shoe size is adjusted correctly and the foot straps are tightened properly. Hold the rowing grip with both hands gripping over the bar. Your hands should be approximately 20 cms apart Step 2: Starting Position Push yourself backwards on the seat as far as possible but keeping your knees still slightly bent.
Training Recommendations Preparation Before Training Before you start training make sure that not only your training device is in perfect condition, your body must also be pre- pared for training. Therefore, if you have not done any endurance training for some time, you should consult your GP and undergo a fitness check-up.
Page 26
Training Recommendations Hydration Adequate hydration is essential before and during exercise. During a training session of 30 minutes it is possible to lose up to 1 litre of liquid. To compensate for this fluid loss apple spritzer mixed in the ratio of one-third apple juice to two-thirds mineral water is ideal since it contains electrolytes and minerals to replace those that the body loses through sweat.
In addition to the air resistance braking system which creates construction and the air flow noises when in use, noises also occur from the chain pulley. Your MAXXUS® training device is fitted with extremely high-quality components which ensure that all operating, air flow and chain noises are greatly reduced.
MAXXUS® Special Foam Cleaner – Use for regular cleaning of your training device. Plastic covers and metal frames can be easily cleaned and perfectly maintained with MAXXUS ® Special Foam Cleaner. It is also suitable for cleaning pulse belts and other training accessories.
