Rower Maintenance Schedule |
Task |
| Each Use | Power off the rower and clean any high-use areas, like the handlebars and console, with a non-acidic cleaner (NO ammonia, chlorine, or alcohol) on a soft cloth. Do not spray cleaning solution directly on the rower as that could ruin any electrical components. |
| Each Use | Inspect the power cord for damage. If damaged, notify our Customer Service team here for immediate replacement before use. |
| Each Use | Clean the sweat and fingerprint marks from the tablet screen with an LCD screen cleaner by spraying a microfiber rag and applying it to the tablet screen. Wipe in circles until the solution has cleared. |
| Each Use | Clean the top of the rail with a soft, dry cloth and glass cleaner, before and after each use to ensure the rail is clear of dust, debris, or sweat. |
| Weekly | Inspect all the assembled and pre-assembled hardware and tighten or re-secure as needed. This includes but is not limited to the following: - front and rear foot bolts - foot carriage bolts - rail securing bolts - seat securing bolts - drink holder (select models) - resistance controller - hinge bolt for tablet mount (select models) |
| Weekly | Dust and vacuum the rower and the surrounding area. To clean underneath the rower, turn off the power, fold, and roll the rower to an alternate location. |
| Weekly | Assess the feet leveling system to ensure your rower is level. The front of the rower has two stabilizers on the front foot bar to keep it level. To adjust, carefully tilt the rower on its side on a soft surface. Twist the rubber stabilizers located on the front foot bar. Twist the stabilizers to the right to lower the rower and twist to the left to raise the rower. |
| Weekly | Use a coin cell battery tester to check the battery’s power. If needed, replace with a CR2032 coin cell battery. (only for row, row-s, row-7s) |
| Monthly | Ensure your app and equipment firmware are up to date with the latest versions. |
| Monthly | Check the hook and loop straps on the foot carriages for wear and tear. If a damaged, please contact Customer Service for replacement parts here. |
| Monthly | Check frame folding mechanism for proper function by following the steps listed on pp. 22-23. |
| Monthly | Check the inside of the rower to ensure there is no build-up of dust or sweat in the frame. Remove the right side cover and spray with compressed air to clean thoroughly. Stay 16” away from the rower when applying the compressed air. |
| Monthly | Check the wheels in the seat chassis by removing the back cap of the rail and removing the chassis. As needed, tighten the bolts that lock the wheels into place. |
| Monthly | Lubricate the seat chassis wheels every 1 - 3 months with a small amount of silicone oil. Ensure the rollers are well lubricated for proper gliding on the rail. |
| Monthly | Have someone assist you with assessing the belt. Lower the resistance and have one person pull the nylon belt until fully extended. The other person should inspect the strap and assess the quality of the belt. If any wear is noticed, notify our Customer Service team for service requirements here. |
