Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation

CAUTION:
sticker or water spillage may occur. See Tank Filling and Water Treatment page for
details.
Long Term Water Treatment:
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this machine. For
replacement tablets, contact your local First Degree Fitness distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the E-520 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 Chlorine tablet. Remember to
wait 72 hours following the chlorine tablet before adding the blue dye as the Chlorine tablet is
extremely concentrated.
CAUTION:
fluid tank whenever the tank plug is opened for water treatment.
Vertical Storage:
The E-520 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 machine is heavy. Pick up from back and pull at 45 degree angle.
Heel Support Adjuster:
The E-520 has a unique and easy to use Heel Plate Support system. Simply slide the Heel
Plate up or down and allow the teeth to lock it into place. This should be adjusted to place the
ball of your foot directly under each horizontal foot strap. Tighten to secure before rowing.
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 pro-
vide accurate input at each individual tank level. Consult
your IPM computer manual (included) for details.
