To achieve minimum resistance, select "MIN" on the tank adjuster.  It takes 10 
strokes to fill the central (storage) tank, leaving a minimal amount of water in the 
outer (active) tank.  This process is always required if minimum resistance is de-
sired.  Row hard at a steady pace (20 to 25 strokes per minute [SPM]) and put 
some effort into the stroke, ensuring that good form is maintained.  You can make 
adjustments to the resistance level while you row.  Your Rowing Ergometer will 
adapt almost instantly to increases in resistance but will take up to 10 strokes to re-
duce the effort required, as the central (storage) tank fills up. 

Getting Started

 

Once you have found a level that gives you the exercise required, changes can be 
made to SPM and to stroke intensity to further vary your energy input.  Interval 
training is used by most Rowers, where a period of low intensity is combined with 
short intervals of high intensity.  Your FDF Rowing Ergometer allows for changes 
'on the fly', to achieve multi-level resistance profiles during a single workout.  For
