Rowing Machine Maintenance Tips

Simple habits that help your rower run smooth and last longer.

  1. Lubricate the Chain

    Apply the manufacturer's recommended lubricant to the chain every few months.

  2. Clean the Seat Rail

    Wipe down the rail after every use to keep rollers moving freely.

  3. Check the Monitor Battery
