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.

bility is reached.

nate, try rotating the batteries slightly in the

is erratic while displaying
SPM and 500meter times.
