CAUTION
Important: Do not fill past the calibration mark as indi-
cated on the tank level sticker or water spillage can occur.
See tank filling/water treatment page for details.
Long term water treatment:
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets
supplied with this machine. For replacement tablets, con-
tact your local First Degree Fitness distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the E-216 will vary according
to the fluid tanks exposure to sunlight, but expect 8-12
months near a bright, sunlit window and 2 years or more for a
darker location. At the point of finding the water slightly
cloudy, add a Chlorine tablet. Remember to wait 72 hours
Caution: It is critical that a drop cloth be used
Under.
The fluid tank whenever the tank plug is
opened for water treatment.
Resistance:
The level of resistance is deter-
mined by the level indicator located
on the front of the tank. Level one
indicates lightest resistance, level
sixteen represents heaviest resis-
tance. Allow three to four strokes
after adjusting resistance handle to
allow the water to move to the cor-
rect location.
Dyneema Rope drive
The unique Dyneema rope drive system allows for simplicity,
smoothness and unparalleled performance. The unique properties
of Dyneema make it extremely useful in harsh environments, such
as sailing, climbing, fishing lines, body armor, etc. It is quite literally
stronger than steel. The 6mm Dyneema rope used on the E-216 is
rated in excess of 1,000kg.
Note: If the Dyneema rope is twisted excessively, the rowing stroke
will feel lumpy. Use the rower handle to untwist the rope to its nor-
mal operating position.
Light fraying is normal. The Dyneema may have a slight “fuzzy” ap-
pearance after a period of use. Dyneema is extremely abrasion re-
sistant and to some degree self-lubricating. Expect many years of
trouble free performance.
Heel support adjuster:
The E-216 has a unique and easy to use Heel Support Adjuster. Sim-
ply slide the Adjuster up or down to the required position. This should
place the ball of your foot directly under the horizontal Foot Straps.
Secure Foot Straps. The Heel Support allows the user to row without
shoes if desired.
Long term water treatment and basic operation
Vertical storage: The E-216 can easily be stored in a ver-
tical, upright position. For safety, choose a suitable loca-
tion, such as a corner of a room. It is recommended that
something soft (such as carpet or a small towel) be placed
under the upper rear of the unit to avoid marring either the
paint or Perspex cover.
