RP3 Rowing MODEL-T - Every 200 Hours of Use or Every 4 Weeks, Whichever Is the Longest; Chain; Weekly or Every 50 Hours of Use, Whichever Is the Longest

5.2.3 EVERY 200 HOURS OF USE OR EVERY 4 WEEKS, WHICHEVER IS THE LONGEST:
Check that the following bolts and nuts are not loose:
• The four knob bolts that hold the stretcher boards.
• The bolts holding the front and rear leg to the main bar.
5.3 CHAIN
To get the longest life from your chain and sprocket, keep the chain clean and properly lubricated at all times.
Do not use too much lubricant for the chain, as this may affect the life of the elastic cord in a negative way.
The following schedule can serve as a guideline for chain maintenance:
5.3.1 WEEKLY OR EVERY 50 HOURS OF USE, WHICHEVER IS THE LONGEST.
Pull the chain gently all the way out, until it stops, than use silicon oil specic for chains to spray the chain by
letting in go back gently.
5.3.2 EVERY 200 HOURS OF USE OR EVERY 4 WEEKS, WHICHEVER IS THE LONGEST:
- Inspect the chain handle connection.
Check the connector piece and the U bolt that connect the chain to the handle. The connector piece
is attached in the factory and should be stiff connected to the chain. The U-bolt is secured with a spring
which should be checked if it’s still good in place (see picture 10).
The U-bolt should be replaced if it is nearly half worn.
- Inspect the chain for stiff links.
Stiff links can cause the chain to skip over the sprocket. This can lead to injury and causes excessive
wear of both chain and sprockets. Stiff links can be caused by lack of lubrication, build-up of dirt,
or mechanical abuse of the chain. Generally repeated cleaning and lubrication, as in weekly
maintenance, will loosen up the links. If this is not the case and the chain skips over the sprocket,
the unit should not be used.
Contact your RP3 Dynamic agent for a replacement chain and sprocket.
