Hardware Inspection: Regularly check the tightness of the footplate bolts and the frame-folding mechanism to ensure structural integrity.
Console Care: Keep the screen dry and replace the D-cell batteries when the low-power indicator appears on the display.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Echo Rower require a power outlet? A: No. The machine is self-powered by the flywheel’s rotation, though it uses batteries to keep the console active during rest periods.
Q: Is the console compatible with heart rate monitors? A: Yes. The M2 Console is Bluetooth and ANT+ compatible, allowing you to sync with most chest straps and armbands.
Q: How much space do I need to store it? A: While it is 85" long during use, the foldable frame allows it to be stored vertically, reducing its footprint to approximately 25" x 33".
Q: Can I use this rower on turf or grass? A: Yes. The oversized turf tires are specifically designed to handle uneven surfaces that would stop standard rowers.
