This document outlines the installation and maintenance of the Aviron Quick Adjust Resistance Remote, Type A, a component designed to enhance the user experience of an Aviron rower by providing convenient resistance adjustment. The remote is specifically designed for Handlebar Type A, which is identified by a vertical line on its center.
The Aviron Quick Adjust Resistance Remote, Type A, serves as an external control unit for adjusting the resistance of an Aviron rower. It allows users to modify the rowing resistance quickly and easily during a workout, without needing to interact directly with the main console. This remote control is designed to be mounted directly onto the handlebar of the rower, ensuring that resistance adjustments are always within reach and can be made seamlessly, thereby maintaining the flow and intensity of the exercise. The remote communicates with the rower's system to change the resistance level, providing a more dynamic and responsive workout experience. Its primary function is to offer a user-friendly interface for on-the-fly resistance changes, contributing to a more engaging and effective training session.
The installation process for the Quick Adjust Resistance Remote, Type A, involves several steps, starting with preparing the rower's handlebar.
Securing the Belt: The first step is crucial for stability and safety. Users must extend the rower's belt to its full length, fold it in half to create a loop, and then tie a knot in this loop. This looped and knotted section is then attached to the handlebar holder. This action provides necessary slack to the handlebar and prevents the belt from being inadvertently drawn into the rower during use. This step is emphasized as extremely important for safe operation.
Removing the Handlebar Cap: To prepare the handlebar for the remote, one end cap of the handlebar needs to be removed. This may require a flat-head screwdriver. The screwdriver is used to gently loosen the cap by working around its circumference. Once loosened, the cap can be removed by grasping the center and pushing away while twisting. This action also helps to dislodge the foam grip from the handlebar. Only one end of the handlebar needs to be prepared in this manner.
Prying Apart the Holder: The handlebar holder, which is typically glued together, needs to be separated. Users might need to apply some force to achieve this. The manual notes that any damage caused to the holder during this step is not a concern, as this part is not essential for the remote's installation.
Inserting the Cylinder in the Loop: The handlebar cylinder, identified as part B, is then inserted through the loop created in the belt during the first step. The belt is designed to wrap around this cylinder, ensuring a secure connection.
Sliding the Cylinder Through the Handlebar: After the cylinder is secured within the belt loop, it is then slid through the open end of the handlebar. This integrates the belt and cylinder assembly into the handlebar structure.
Attaching the Ring, Foam, and End Cap: The next step involves reassembling the handlebar's end. This includes attaching a ring, the foam grip, and the end cap. To facilitate sliding these components into place, especially the foam grip, using soapy water on the handlebar and inside the grip is recommended. The foam grip should be wiggled until it is securely in place. While glue can be used to secure the end cap, it is generally designed to stay in place without it.
Ensuring Smooth Belt Top: Before attaching the remote, it is important to ensure that the top surface of the belt is smooth. This preparation is critical for the proper seating and function of the resistance remote. The manual visually distinguishes between the "TOP" and "BOTTOM" of the belt, emphasizing that the top should be free of any irregularities.
Snapping in the Resistance Remote: The resistance remote consists of two main parts: the controller cover - bottom (part C) and the controller cover - top (part D). These two parts are designed to snap together around the belt and onto the handlebar. The "TOP" part of the remote, which includes a "remove before use" safety slip, is positioned on the upper side of the handlebar, while the "BOTTOM" part is positioned underneath. They are then pressed together to secure them around the belt and handlebar.
Securing with Screws: Once the top and bottom parts of the remote are snapped into place, they are further secured using four round head screws (part A). These screws are inserted into designated points on the remote, and a screwdriver (provided as a tool) is used to tighten them, ensuring a firm and stable attachment to the handlebar.
Finalizing Installation: After all screws are tightened, the installation is complete. A final step involves removing the safety slip from the remote prior to using the rower.
The primary maintenance feature described in the manual is Battery Replacement.
The manual also provides several tips to ensure optimal performance and interaction with the resistance remote:
In summary, the Aviron Quick Adjust Resistance Remote, Type A, is a user-installable accessory designed to provide convenient, on-handlebar resistance control for Aviron rowers. Its installation involves securing the rower's belt, preparing the handlebar, assembling the remote components around the handlebar and belt, and finally securing it with screws. Maintenance primarily involves simple battery replacement. Adhering to the provided usage tips regarding resistance adjustment position and remote-to-screen alignment will ensure optimal performance.
