PART 2 - Using the Vasa Kayak Ergometer
2.2. SETTING THE RESISTANCE
The flywheel and the damper door work in concert to affect the resistance you will feel using the Vasa
Kayak Ergometer.
FLYWHEEL
The airflow resistance of the flywheel simulates the resistance of water - the harder you pull, the more
resistance you feel.
DAMPER DOOR
You can adjust the airflow resistance by adjusting the damper door. The
lowest setting “1” (door fully closed) provides the least resistance and
setting “7” (door fully open) provides the most resistance. Setting #1
is similar to going WITH the current and Setting #7 is similar to going
AGAINST a strong current.
To adjust the damper door / change resistance level:
1. Unlock knob - turn counter-clockwise
2. Lift/Lower door (Settings: 1=easiest / 7=hardest)
3. Lock knob - turn clockwise
