Operation Instructions 

INITIAL WATER TREATMENT  

Add 1 x Water Treatment Tablet per full tank. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, 
USE A WATER TREATMENT TABLET OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH YOUR UNIT. 
Your unit purchase includes 4 x Water Treatment Tablets, which is sufficient for several 
years of use.  To purchase additional chlorine tabs, please consult your nearest regional 
dealer/distributor or check our website at www.firstdegreefitness.com 

a)   Filling requires a large bucket (not supplied) and the Fluid 

Rower Siphon (included).  Filling will take approximately 7.6  
liters of water. 

b)   Unscrew the yellow tank plug on tank back and insert the 

flexible tube into the rear of the tank while keeping the rigid  
hose in the bucket.  Note:  The siphon tube may be impeded 

by one of the impeller blades.  Use the siphon only to push 

the impeller down slightly.   
Note:  Where water quality is known to be poor, FDF              

recommends the use of distilled water. 

c)   Move the adjuster handle to level 16, and begin filling.    

Note: The siphon valve must be closed to allow siphoning    
action to occur.  Tip:  Placing the bucket in an elevated      

position will   allow the siphon to continually pump water into 

the tank.  Do not fill past the calibration mark indicated on 
the tank!  
Note:  Opening the siphon valve will stop the pumping action.  

Use this feature to avoid water spillage when nearing filling    

completion.   

d)   Once filling is complete (to the proper calibration level as    

indicated on the tank), follow water   treatment schedule as 

shown. 
Note:  the Lower Tank Plug is permanently sealed.   

      CAUTION

 

Use a drop cloth under 

the tank when filling to 

avoid damage floor or 

 

carpet. 
Do not fill past the 

   

calibration mark as 

   

indicated on the tank  

 

level sticker or water 

spillage may occur.

 

      

WARNING

 

Impeller blades are 

sharp! Do not Place  

fingers in tank to 

   

adjust impeller position. 

It is recommended to 

use the end of the hose 

Should the impeller 

 

REQUIRED

Tank Filling and Water Treatment 

Siphon valve 

Fill tank as shown left.  Use 
the yellow plug only for filling. 
Fill with adjuster handle at level 
16 only. 
Once filling is complete, use a 

coin or large blade screwdriver 
to tighten tank plug into place.
