MAINTENANCE
TENSIONING THE RETURN BUNGY
To tension the return bungy follow the procedure set out below.
Loosen the T Knob that connects the drive arm with the brace arm and fold the drive arm inwards until it
locks into place parallel with the seat rail.
The locking mechanism for the return bungy protrudes from the end of the drive arm. Hook the open end
of the bungy from where it is tucked into the arm.
Place a finger on the bungy inside the first locking hole to secure the bungy tension then push the bungy
through the end locking hole to make a loop. Push this loop through the second locking hole until the loop
is on the outside of the locking mechanism.
Place a finger through the outside loop and pull the bungy through the first locking hole to increase the
tension on the bungy return. Maintain enough pressure on the inside of the bungy to prevent the bungy
from slipping back through the first hole. Push the outside loop back through the second locking hole and
then back through the third locking hole. Tuck the open end of the bungy back into the arm.
Adjust the bungy tension only in small increments of 2.5cm to 5cm (1” - 2”) at a time. This is enough
adjustment to have an influence on the bungy tension and improve the returning capacity of the return
system. Test the rate of return by rowing a few strokes and repeat the process on the opposite side by
matching the exposed length of the open end of the bungy to keep the return tension equal.
