Getting safely on and off your Vasa Ergometer is an important part of your program. Please follow the

strike the monitor or front assembly and cause damage or injury. Always gently return the handles or

paddles to the ready position on the front assembly.

KAYAK POSITION - Sitting on the bench facing forward, using the kayak shaft

NOTE: position the bench & seat carriage so it touches the rear stanchion. Be sure the foot brace has

been installed. For Kayak Set-up Instructions (see page 10).

1) Take the kayak paddle shaft in both hands and walk back to the bench.

2) While holding the paddle shaft, place your hands on the front of the bench holding the bench

steady. Swing one leg over the bench and sit down just behind the Vasa logo located on the front

part of the bench (middle of bench).

3) Bring one foot up and place it in the locked foot brace. Adjust your leg position by sliding forward

or backward on the bench so you are comfortable.

4) Bring your second foot up into position and bring the kayak shaft into position. Your hands should

be shoulder width apart.
