ment.

unwrapped 1 turn or, re-
quires an extra wrap on
the Rower Belt Pulley

Solution
Change rower location to reduce direct expo-
sure to sunlight. Add water treatment or change
tank water as directed in the water treatment
section of this manual.
Cut Bungee Tie Rack and tighten slightly on
Bungee Hook.
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.
Remove large service cover and check gap be-
tween sensor and magnetic ring (should be no
more than 2.5mm).
