Page 22: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LONG-TERM WATER TREATMENT The amount of time between water treatments can vary greatly depending on your unit’s location and exposure to sunlight. Typically, you can expect to treat your tank water every 12-24 months. If water becomes discoloured or shows signs of algae/bacterial growth simply add one Water Treatment Tablet. - Page 23 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CHANGING RESISTANCE LEVEL Changing the resistance on your rower is simple. The level of resistance is determined by the level indicator located on the front of the tank. Level 1 indicates lightest resistance, 16 represents heaviest resistance. The tank’s variable fluid resistance technology ensures an instant catch and constant resistance throughout the entire stroke by moving water between the passive and active chambers of the tank.
- Page 24 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS START ROWING There are six phases to completing a rowing stroke. 1. Sit with straight legs and back, leaning forward slightly at the hips with arms out straight and hands level with the lower ribs. Swing back. 2. Legs and back straight, leaning slightly forward from the hips, arms out in front. Lean and slide forward. NOTE: HANDS SHOULD NOW BE AROUND YOUR KNEES, KEEPING LEGS STRAIGHT.
