using the handle hook
Place the handle in the handle hook to make it easier
to reach when you are seated on the rower. NOTE: It
is best to let the handle rest against the fan cage (as
shown at left) rather than in the handle hook when the
machine is not in constant use (i.e. overnight, between
workouts). This will prolong the life of the shock cord.
setting the flexfoot
To set the Flexfoot, pull the toe piece toward you to
release the footpiece from the two pegs. Slide the toe
piece up or down to achieve the proper setting, then
press the toe piece back down onto the pegs.
Begin by setting the Flexfoot heel so the strap crosses
the ball of your foot. As you gain familiarity with the
Indoor Rower, you may choose to raise or lower the
Flexfoot a notch for reasons of flexibility or general
comfort.
Optimal setting permits the knee, lower leg and ankle
to be perpendicular to the floor at the catch.
Lowering the Flexfoot heel permits more seat travel.
Raising the Flexfoot heel cuts down on leg flexion.
