Product Description
U.N.O. Fitness Motive WR500 Rudergerät Manual
Discover the U.N.O. Fitness Motive WR500 Rudergerät — a water-resistance rowing machine designed to simulate the smooth, natural feel of on-water rowing. The WR500 combines ergonomic design, adjustable water-based tension, and a user-friendly monitor to support comprehensive home workouts for users up to 100 kg.
About the product
The WR500 uses an impeller and water tank to create realistic, progressive resistance: more water or a stronger stroke yields greater resistance. The frame includes a long main rail with a comfortable sliding seat, foot pedals with Velcro straps, and a sturdy handlebar. Assembly requires basic tools and following step-by-step instructions to connect the main frame, rail, monitor, and tension components; electrical connections and battery installation are straightforward (2 x AA for the console).
The console displays strokes per minute, distance, time, calories, speed and a total stroke counter across two pages. The unit is simple to operate via a single PAGE button and supports basic reset and monitor functions. Storage is convenient: the rail folds up and locks to reduce footprint when not in use.
Key features
- Water-based resistance with variable tension via tank fill level and a knob for on-the-fly adjustment.
- Clear monitor with stroke rate, distance, speed, time, calories and stroke count.
- Folding design for compact storage and transport wheels on the stabilizer.
- Safety-oriented build meeting EN957-HC standards for domestic use, including a recommended 1m clearance and 100 kg user limit.
Usage and training guidance
Begin sessions with a warm-up, use a target heart-rate zone (65–85% of max) for aerobic benefit, and finish with a cool-down and stretches. Recommended training frequency starts at three sessions per week, building duration gradually from 5 up to 20+ minutes. The manual explains basic rowing technique (drive with legs, then body and arms) and offers arms-only and legs-only variations.
Maintenance and safety
Regular inspection and tightening of fasteners, periodic lubrication of moving parts, and careful battery handling are emphasized. Keep children and pets away during assembly and use, wear appropriate athletic clothing, and consult a physician before starting intense exercise. The manual also covers disposal/recycling guidance for batteries and the unit.
Notes
- Keep the water level between MIN and MAX marks; do not overfill.
- Use only at home (not for commercial/rental settings).
- Retain purchase receipt for guarantee purposes.
