6. LONG TERM WATER TREATMENT AND BASIC OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not fill past the calibration mark as indicated on the tank level sticker or water spillage can oc-
cur. See tank filling/water treatment page for details.
Long Term Water Treatment:
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this rower.
For replacement tablets, contact
Life Fitness.
Water treatment schedules for the Row GX 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:
It is recommended that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank whenever the tank is open for
water treatment.
Vertical Storage:
The Row GX can easily be stored in a vertical, upright 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 upper rear of the unit to avoid marring either the paint or Perspex cover.
Dyneema Cable Drive
The Dyneema Cable Drive system allows for simplicity, smoothness and unparalleled performance. The unique prop-
erties of Dyneema make it extremely useful in harsh environments, such as sailing, climbing, fishing lines, body armor,
etc. It is quite literally stronger than steel. The 6mm Dyneema cable used on the Row GX is rated in excess of 1,000kg.
Frame Tension Cable:
The Row GX is fitted with a Frame Tension Cable which provides improved frame rigidity. The cable may on occasion
require adjustment. For optimum performance, the cable should be taut. If the cable becomes loose, first loosen the
Retaining Nut, retighten the Tension Cable and then secure the Retaining Nut.
Resistance:
The level of resistance is determined by the level indicator located on the front
of the tank. Level one indicates lightest resistance, level sixteen represents
heaviest resistance. Allow three to four strokes after adjusting resistance handle
to allow the desired resistance level to be reached.
