Concept 2 rowing machines are club-quality rowers that use an air-powered flywheel to accurately simulate the feeling of rowing on water. The digital console on the machines gives readouts for distance, resistance level, speed and calories burned. Currently, Concept 2 offers two different rowers: Model E and Model D updated. When fully assembled, these rowers can support a 500-lb. user and can be linked together to simulate team rowing.
Model D
Step 1
Lay the leg base flat on the ground. Align the front flywheel support arm with the holes in the leg base and then align the holes in the rear flywheel support arm on top of it. Bolt the support arms in place with four 3/4-inch bolts and an Allen wrench.
Step 2
Turn the flywheel assembly upside down. Turn the support arms upside down and align the screw holes in the support with the holes in front and behind the flywheel. Ensure that the longer support arm is placed in front of the flywheel. Bolt the arms in place and turn the machine over so the flywheel is now lifted off of the ground by the support arms.
Step 3
Open the locking joint between the foot platforms at the rear of the flywheel assembly. Lift up the front of the seat assembly and lower it into the opened locking joint. Lower the seat bar and flywheel bars toward the floor until they support each other. Push the locking clip down and snap it into position.
Step 4
Plug in the digital console to the rowing machine to complete the assembly.
Model E
Step 1
Place the flywheel assembly upside down on the ground and align the holes in the support arm piece with the holes in the main bar. Insert four 5/8-inch bolts in the holes and tighten them with an Allen wrench. Turn the flywheel assembly over so it is supported by the arms.
Step 2
Hold the rear leg clip in one hand and the rear leg in your other hand. Turn the clip vertical so the underside can be placed flush against the top bracket on the rear leg. Once the bracket is touching the slot in the clip, rotate the clip over the bracket so it is held in place and the screw holes are aligned.
Step 3
Slide the rear leg onto the back end of the seat post so the holes in the base of the seat post align with those in the leg and the clip on the rear leg is on top of the seat post. Bolt the rear leg to the seat post using four 5/8-inch bolts in the base and two 3/4-inch bolts through the clip.
Step 4
Bolt the digital display console to the end of the display arm on the top of the flywheel. Pull open the locking joint on the end of the flywheel assembly and lower the front of the seat post into this joint. Push down on both pieces simultaneously to lock the seat post in place, and then push down on the locking clip to complete the assembly.
