Probable Cause
Solution
Water changes
color or becomes
cloudy.
Rower is in direct
sunlight or has not

treatment.
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.
Rowing stroke
return is too light.
Bungee not under
enough tension.
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.
Rower rocks from
side to side when
sitting on floor
Front/Rear frame
levelers need
adjusting
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.
Front of Rower lifts
slightly during
vigorous rowing.
Lower rear frame
leveler too high.

minates, but does
not register when
rowing.

try rotating the batteries slightly in the
monitor. If this fails, contact your local ser-
vice center.
Monitor display is
erratic while dis-
playing SPM and
500meter times.
Gap between
Sensor and
Magnetic Ring is
too wide.

adjustment located inside rear Perspex
cover.
Excessive frame flex
during hard rowing.
Frame Tension

Loosen frame tension cable Retaining Nut and
tighten cable until taut.
