Operation Instructions
Removing/Changing Tank Water
Row a minimum of ten complete strokes before commencing
tank draining. Remove tank plug, insert rigid end of siphon into
tank and begin draining.
a) Set Adjuster handle to “MIN”
b) Row at least ten strokes to fill the storage reservoir as
completely as possible.
c) Remove Tank Plug.
d) Insert rigid end of siphon into the tank, and flexible hose into
a large bucket.
e) Drain tank (approx. 40% of water will remain) and then refill
following directions for Tank filling as described in the Tank
Filling section of this manual.
Note:
◎ The valve on top of the siphon must be closed to allow proper
drainage.
◎ Water treatment will preclude the need to change tank
water if the treatment schedule is maintained. Additional
Water Treatment Tablet is required only when discoloration
appears in the water.
◎ Exposure to full sunlight reduces the life of the Water
Treatment Tablets. Storing the rower away from direct
sunlight will extend the time between water treatments.
◎ Approximately 40% of tank water will remain. It is not
possible to completely drain the A/R tank without
disassembly.
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this unit.
For replacement tablets, contact your local FIRST DEGREE FITNESS distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the FLUID ROWER will vary according to the fluid
tanks exposure to sunlight, but expect 8-12 months near a bright, sunlit window
and 2 years or more for a darker location. At the point of finding the water slightly
cloudy, add a Water Treatment Tablet.
Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
CAUTION
It is strongly recommended that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank
