MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

DAILY MAINTENANCE

or after each workout

Cleaning

Wipe down handle, seat, rails and frame after 

every row. 

WEEKLY

Inspect the WaterRower M1

Dust Build Up

Dust tank and belts regularly.
Clean the top of the rails where the wheels run.
To do this, run a damp cloth along the top and 

sides of the rails. This will remove the dirt, dust, 

etc. which builds up with use.  

In addition, clean any residue or build-up that has 

accumulated on the wheels.

Loose Bolts

Each week, inspect the bolts along the tank 

assembly and rail assembly to ensure they are 

all secure in the frame of the rower. If necessary, 

use a 5mm allen key to tighten any bolts that have 

come loose.

Weekly Belt Alignment and Monitor Test

On a weekly basis, row several strokes on the 

rower to check the alignment of the recoil belt; 

it can, sometimes, come misaligned on the front 

pulleys (see picture).
If the recoil belt is off a pulley, the recoil of the 

handle will be sluggish and not feel smooth. It can 

also lead to fraying of the belt. If the recoil feels 

misaligned, check that the recoil belt is aligned 

and runs over each pulley correctly and smoothly 

as seen in the second picture.
While checking the alignment, review the monitor 

to ensure it is working correctly. Turn the monitor 

on and it should flash all zeros, indicating it is 

ready to start. As you begin rowing, the monitor 

should register your stroke rate, speed, distance & 

time. If not, please refer to the monitor section in 

the troubleshooting guide (page 10).
