Operation Instructions
INITIAL WATER TREATMENT
Add 1 x Water Treatment Tablet per full tank. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE,
USE A WATER TREATMENT TABLET OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH YOUR UNIT.
Your unit purchase includes 4 x Water Treatment Tablets, which is sufficient for several
years of use. To purchase additional chlorine tabs, please consult your nearest regional
dealer/distributor or check our website at www.firstdegreefitness.com
a) Filling requires a large bucket (not supplied) and the Fluid
Rower Siphon (included). Filling will take approximately 7.6
liters of water.
b) Unscrew the yellow tank plug on tank back and insert the
flexible tube into the rear of the tank while keeping the rigid
hose in the bucket. Note: The siphon tube may be impeded
by one of the impeller blades. Use the siphon only to push
the impeller down slightly.
Note: Where water quality is known to be poor, FDF
recommends the use of distilled water.
c) Move the adjuster handle to level 16, and begin filling.
Note: The siphon valve must be closed to allow siphoning
action to occur. Tip: Placing the bucket in an elevated
position will allow the siphon to continually pump water into
the tank. Do not fill past the calibration mark indicated on
the tank!
Note: Opening the siphon valve will stop the pumping action.
Use this feature to avoid water spillage when nearing filling
completion.
d) Once filling is complete (to the proper calibration level as
indicated on the tank), follow water treatment schedule as
shown.
Note: the Lower Tank Plug is permanently sealed.
CAUTION
Use a drop cloth under
the tank when filling to
avoid damage floor or
carpet.
Do not fill past the
calibration mark as
indicated on the tank
level sticker or water
spillage may occur.
WARNING
Impeller blades are
sharp! Do not Place
fingers in tank to
adjust impeller position.

Fill tank as shown left. Use
the yellow plug only for filling.
Fill with adjuster handle at level
16 only.
Once filling is complete, use a
coin or large blade screwdriver
to tighten tank plug into place.
22
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that a drop cloth be used under the
fluid tank whenever the tank plug is opened for water treatment.
Long Term Water Treatment:
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this unit. For
replacement tablets, contact your local First Degree Fitness distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the FLUID ROWER 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
Water Treatment Tablet.
Vertical Storage:
The FLUID ROWER can easily be stored in a vertical position. For safety, choose a
suitable location, such as a corner of a room. It is recommended that something soft
(such as carpet or a small towel) be placed under the rowing pulley of the unit to avoid
chipping or floor damage. Note: Move with caution as the unit is heavy. Pick up from
back and pull at 45 degree angle.
CAUTION: Do not fill past the calibration mark as indicated on the tank level
sticker or water spillage may occur. See Tank Filling and Water Treatment
page for details.
Level Indicator
Resistance:
The level of resistance is determined by the
level indicator located on the front of the
tank. Level one indicates lightest re-
sistance, level sixteen represents heaviest
resistance. Allow three to four strokes
after adjusting resistance handle to allow
the water to move to the correct location.

Operation Instructions
Adjust Footplates
The Slider Footplate accommodates
most foot sizes, and is designed to keep
your feet securely in place as you row.
TO ADJUST:

hooking the footplate back onto the
mounting peg and pushing down firmly to
lock it into position. Place feet on the foot
plates and tighten the foot straps to
ensure your feet sit firmly against the
heel captures.
Note: The heel capture should bend to
allow your foot to pivot naturally as you
row.
Quick start: Provides instant workout
information. Just start training to
activate. You can choose to change

Operation Instructions
Start Rowing
There are six phases to completing a rowing stroke
1. Sit with straight legs and back, leaning forward slightly at the hips with arms out
straight and hands level with the lower ribs. Swing back.
2. Legs and back straight, leaning slightly forward from the hips, arms out in front.
Lean and slide forward.
Note: Hands should now be around your knees, keeping legs straight.
3. Legs come forward, aiming to get the shins vertical. Back is still straight, and
posture leaning slightly forward with arms still out front. Now drive hard, this is
the CATCH.
4. Knees partially straightened so seat is now at mid-point of travel, back and arms
still straight. Maintain the stroke.
5. Knees are nearly straight, back is still straight but now leaning slightly back from
the hips. Arms straight. Now squeeze through.
6. Legs now fully extended. Back straight and leaning slightly back, now pull with the
arms so they are close to the chest, forearms horizontal and elbows close in to
the rib cage. This is the FINISH.

return is too light.
Bungee not under
enough tension.
Open rear Perspex cover, cut bungee tie
wrap . Tighten by small increments using
the bungee tie off tab point and test

er does not illumi-
nate after battery

Replacing the Rower Bungee Shock Cord
1. Remove the Perspex Cover from
rear of upper frame.
Disconnect sensor lead before
removing cover completely.
2. Move the Rowing Handle from the
S-Bend to a point where it is resting
on top of the tank . This helps line
up the Bungee Cord hole for easier
removal/replacement. Detach Bungee
Cord from lower rear attachment
point.
3. Unwrap the Bungee Cord from all of
the Bungee Pulleys.
Rear
Mainshaft
Bolt and
Magnetic
Ring
4. Next, remove the Magnetic Ring. To loosen
the Rear Mainshaft Bolt holding the
magnetic ring in place, it is necessary to
keep the Mainshaft and impeller assembly
from turning with the bolt. Open the yellow
tank plug, and insert a wrench wrapped in a
lint free cloth (to protect the electroplating
finish on the blades) to catch the impeller
blade and allow the Rear Mainshaft Bolt to
be loosened as shown below right with a
6mm Allen key.
Caution: Do not allow a dissimilar metal to
directly contact the impeller blade.
Premature rusting could occur . Cover any
tool inserted the tanks with a lint free
cloth and keep fingers clear.
WARNING ： Do not insert fingers into tank!

and the C-Clip, the Bungee Cord will
