Stamina 1130 - User Manual

The Stamina 1130 Magnetic Rowing Machine is a fitness device designed for home use, offering a comprehensive workout experience through a magnetic braking system. This rowing machine allows users to engage in a full-body exercise that can improve cardiovascular health, build strength, and enhance overall fitness. The device is not intended for institutional or commercial applications.

Function Description

The core function of the Stamina 1130 Magnetic Rowing Machine is to provide a low-impact, high-efficiency workout that mimics the motion of rowing on water. The magnetic braking system creates resistance, which can be adjusted to suit various fitness levels and workout intensities. The machine features a computer console that tracks key workout metrics, enabling users to monitor their progress and tailor their exercise routines.

The computer console is an advanced feature that serves as the central hub for managing workouts. It displays various data points such as time, watts, pulse, strokes per minute, count, calories burned, and distance. Users can select from a range of pre-set programs (P1 to P9) or create custom user-defined programs (U1 to U4). Program 1 is a manual program, offering complete control over the workload, while programs 2 through 7 are automatic pre-set programs with varying profiles like "Rolling," "Valley," "Fat Burn," "Ramp," "Mountain," and "Intervals." Program 8 is a "Competition" program, designed to challenge users to complete a pre-set distance within a pre-set time. Program 9 is a "Target Heart Rate Control" program, which automatically adjusts the workload to keep the user's heart rate within a specified target zone.

For heart rate monitoring, the Stamina 1130 includes a HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (chest strap) that wirelessly sends heart rate data to the computer console. This feature is crucial for effective cardiorespiratory training, as it helps users stay within their target heart rate zone for optimal fat burning and cardiovascular benefits. The console also allows users to preset values for time, count, distance, calories, and pulse, which will count down during the workout, providing an audible alarm upon completion.

Usage Features

The Stamina 1130 is designed for ease of use and adaptability to individual preferences. The pedal straps are adjustable, allowing users to customize their foot placement for comfort and security during exercise. The handlebar provides a secure grip for the rowing motion.

The computer console's intuitive interface allows for easy program selection and adjustment. The "PROG/RESET" button cycles through programs and can reset all function values to zero when held down. The "FUN/SCAN" button selects programs, presets function values, and switches between fixed and automatic scan displays during exercise. The "+" and "-" buttons are used to increase or decrease preset values and adjust the workload level during a program. The "START/STOP" button initiates and pauses workouts.

The machine is designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions for assembly and operation. It is recommended that two people be available for assembly. Once assembled, the rowing machine should be placed on a solid, level surface, ideally on an equipment mat, with adequate space around it for safe operation.

For storage, the Stamina 1130 can be stood on end, making it suitable for smaller living spaces. Moving the machine is facilitated by wheels on the front stabilizer, allowing for easy relocation.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the safety, integrity, and longevity of the Stamina 1130 Magnetic Rowing Machine. Users are advised to periodically inspect the machine for any worn or loose components.

Key maintenance tasks include:

Checking Handlebar and Magnetic System: Regularly pull on the handlebar to verify that the magnetic system provides consistent tension and that the seat travel is smooth and stable.
Cleaning Roller Tracks: The roller tracks on the rail should be cleaned with an absorbent cloth to ensure smooth seat movement.
Tightening Nuts and Bolts: All nuts and bolts should be checked for tightness before each use. Any missing or loose fasteners should be replaced or tightened promptly.
Inspecting the Strap: The main strap (25) should be inspected for cracks or breakage and replaced if necessary.
Caution Label Verification: The CAUTION LABEL (109) must be in place and legible. If damaged or missing, a replacement should be obtained from Stamina Products.
General Cleaning: The machine should be kept clean by wiping it down with an absorbent cloth after each use to prevent sweat and dirt buildup.
Heart Rate Transmitter Care: The HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (chest strap) requires specific care. It should be washed regularly with mild soap and water, dried with a soft towel, and stored in a cool, dry place away from wet materials. Bending or stretching the transmitter should be avoided.

Only components supplied by Stamina Products, Inc. should be used for maintenance or repair. If any components are worn or damaged, they should be replaced immediately, or the machine should be removed from service until repairs are made. The owner's manual emphasizes that regular maintenance is the sole responsibility of the user.
