HELPFUL HINTS!

The rower is easier to assemble with two people.

Assemble the rower in the room where it will be used. It is portable, but it is a large

item to move from room to room or up and down stairs.

Lay out all of the components of the rower before assembling. Read through these

instructions and make sure all parts are accounted for, and that you have all the nuts,

bolts, and washers described on the Included Parts and Parts Package Contents pages.

When tightening screws, nuts and bolts, finger-tighten first, then use the appropriate

tool to tighten, taking turns with each, until all are secure.

ASSEMBLY

1. Attach the FRONT SUPPORT WITH WHEELS to the MAIN UNIT with the included

ALLEN WRENCH using the 2 SCREWS (3) with 2 ARC WASHERS (4). Make sure

the wheels on the FRONT SUPPORT are facing away from the MAIN UNIT.

2. Attach the REAR FOOT WITH HEIGHT ADJUSTERS to the SEAT RAIL, ensuring

the Brookstone

logo is face up and the angle of the REAR FOOT matches the

example below, using 4 SCREWS (6), 4 LOCKING WASHERS (7) and 4 FLAT

WASHERS (8). Tighten with the ALLEN WRENCH.
