CONCEPT2 DYNAMIC INDOOR ROWER
Additional Notes
Setting the Level of the Dynamic Indoor Rower
The Dynamic Indoor Rower should be approximately level for the moving components to work properly.
Use the front foot leveling screws to fine tune the level as follows:
Have a friend watch you row:
• If the seat tends to stretch the bungee more to the front of the machine than the rear while rowing, raise
the front of the Dynamic Indoor Rower by turning both front foot leveling screws clockwise several turns.
• If the seat tends to stretch the bungee more to the rear of the machine than the front while rowing, lower
the front of the Dynamic Indoor Rower by turning both front foot leveling screws counter-clockwise several
turns.
Handle Return Tension
The design of the Dynamic Indoor Rower has allowed us to reduce the handle return tension significantly
compared to our Model D and E. Handle return tension, inherent in erg rowing, is not something we
experience in the boat. We therefore view the lower tension that can be achieved with this design as a positive
feature. The tension is set low when we ship the Dynamic Indoor Rower and we suggest rowing with it like
this for a while before choosing to tightening the bungee if you really want it to feel “more like an erg.” See
page 16 of the Dynamic Indoor Rower User Manual for directions.
Wind Shield
The clear plastic Wind Shield located on the top of the flywheel is an optional accessory designed to deflect air
coming from the flywheel away from the rower’s body. If you prefer the additional breeze, the Wind Shield can
be easily removed by bending it slightly and pulling the tabs at either end out of the flywheel enclosures.
Note: Using the Wind Shield will slightly reduce the current drag factor setting, making it feel like you’re
rowing in a slightly lower damper setting. The flywheel damper may be adjusted as needed to maintain the
desired feel. More about damper setting and drag factor can be found at concept2.com.
Maintenance
It is important that some simple steps be taken to ensure the proper working order and quality feel of the
Dynamic Indoor Rower.
1. Inspect the drive cord for wear and replace if excessive wear is visible.
2. Clean the seat and rail assembly, including the foot carriage rails, after every workout.
3. Clean and lubricate the chain.
