START UP MAINTENANCE
During the first weeks of use, the wood in your WaterRower will adjust to
the temperature and humidity of the environment. During this period it is
strongly advised that you GENTLY tighten all the Connecting Bolts with the
Allen Key. Please be careful not to overtighten any of these bolts.
Additionally, as the Drive and Recoil Belts loosen up with use, it may be
necessary to tighten the Recoil Belt. To do this, leave the Handle in the
full forward position and adjust the Bungee/Recoil Belt Buckle to provide
a little more tension. Please refer to ‘Adjusting the Recoil’ video at:

.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to maintain the condition of the water
in the tank. We strongly ADVISE USING MUNICIPAL TAP WATER which
contains other Chemicals to keep it free from Bacteria and Algae, etc. The
water must be refreshed periodically by adding a Water Purification Tablet
provided. The purification tablet degrades by exposure to light: this may vary
from 6 months in direct sunlight to 2 years in an artificially lit environment.
On average, add one purification tablet every 6 months.
If water discoloration occurs add a purification tablet immediately. If the
water does not clear, we recommend emptying the Tank, flushing it out with
clean water, refilling, and adding a purification tablet. NEVER USE POOL
CHLORINE OR CHLORINE BLEACH in the Tank as this will irreparably
damage the Polycarbonate Tank. The use of an alternative purification option
in the tank beyond the approved WaterRower product could void the warranty.
MAINTAINING AND CLEANING
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your WaterRower it is necessary
to keep the machine clean. It is particularly important to ensure that there
is no dust build up in the Clutch and Belt Mechanism between the Top and
Bottom Decks. Dust can be removed by using a vacuum cleaner.
The surface and groove in the monorail must be kept clean to prevent dust
fouling the Seat Wheels, and can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.
The surface of the tank can be cleaned, however, please ensure you read the
instructions for any cleaning fluids prior to use.
DO NOT USE METHYLATED SPIRITS, CHLORATES, BLEACH OR AMMONIA
BASED FLUIDS when cleaning any part of your WaterRower. The use of
improper cleaning products could void the warranty.
