CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that a drop cloth be used under the
fluid tank whenever the tank plug is opened for water treatment.
Long Term Water Treatment:
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.
Vertical Storage:
The FLUID ROWER can easily be stored in a vertical position. For safety, choose a
suitable location, such as a corner of a room. It is recommended that something soft
(such as carpet or a small towel) be placed under the rowing pulley of the unit to avoid
chipping or floor damage. Note: Move with caution as the unit is heavy. Pick up from
back and pull at 45 degree angle.
CAUTION: Do not fill past the calibration mark as indicated on the tank level
sticker or water spillage may occur. See Tank Filling and Water Treatment
page for details.
Level Indicator
Resistance:
The level of resistance is determined by the
level indicator located on the front of the
tank. Level one indicates lightest re-
sistance, level sixteen represents heaviest
resistance. Allow three to four strokes
after adjusting resistance handle to allow
the water to move to the correct location.
