Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this unit. For replacement
tablets, contact your local SPIRIT 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.
CAUTION
It is strongly recommended that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank whenever
the tank plug is opened for water treatment.
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 Knob to "1"
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.
f)
Following the VR adjustment (Resistance Level Display)
in Console set up page for level calibration.
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.
