M1 Owners Manual

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.
