Solution
Change rower location to reduce direct
exposure to sunlight. Add water treatment
or change tank water as directed in the
water treatment section of this manual.
Consider using distilled water to refill tank.
Open rear Perspex cover, cut bungee tie
wrap . Tighten by small increments using
the bungee tie off tab point and test
tension by allowing the rowing handle to
return to its furthest point forward while
still having some slight tension. Note light
fraying of the bungee cord is normal.
Adjust the front two frame levelers or rear
leg levelers until stability is reached. Note:
It is normal for the lower rear leveler to
rest slightly off the floor.
Check to see that frame tensioning bolt is
tightened properly. Lower rear frame
leveler should be approx. 5mm off the
ground.
Check that the computer lead is connected
properly. If connected properly check
sensor gap. Contact your local service
center if this fails to address the problem.
Reinstall batteries in correct position and
try again. If the LCD screen fails to
illuminate, try rotating the batteries
slightly in the computer. If this fails,
contact your local service center.
Adjust sensor location using rear sliding
adjustment located inside rear Perspex
cover.
Loosen frame tension cable Retaining Nut
and tighten cable until taut.
