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
Resistance:
Resistance is determined by the Level Indicator on the front of the tank.
Level 1 indicates lightest resistance and level twenty the heaviest. Allow
three to four strokes, after moving the Level Indicator, for the new level to
be achieved. Note computer level must be changed to provide accurate input
at each individual tank level. Consult your IPM computer manual (included) for
details.
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: It is strongly recommended that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank whenever the
tank plug is opened for water treatment.
