Yellow tank fill plug
Filling hose and funnel
Note: the lower tank plug is per-
manently sealed.
Tank filling and water treatment
Open the yellow fill plug on back of tank and insert hose (rotating the impeller slightly
may be necessary to allow the hose to pass). Move the tank adjuster handle to level
20 and begin filling. Do not fill the tank higher than the level indicator on the front of
the clear shell. A properly filled tank holds approximately 8 liters of water.
Note: A bucket is required for filling (Not included)
In areas where tap water quality is known to be poor, FDF recommends the use of
distilled water.
Draining the Fluid tank:
When outdoors simply open the
yellow fill plug and lie the E620
on its side to facilitate drainage.
Indoors a container capable of
holding 8 liters of water will be
required
Impeller blades are sharp! Do
not put fingers into the tank. Use
the end of the hose to move the
impeller should the need arise.
Warning:
Water Treatment Procedures:
1. Add Chlorine Tablet.
2. Enough Chlorine Tablets are supplied for many
years of Water treatment. Add a chlorine Tablet
whenever the Water appears dirty or cloudy.
WARNING: Only use First Degree Fitness Supplied
Water treatment tablets.
Use a drop cloth under the tank when
filling the tank to avoid damage floor or
carpet
Caution:

Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
Caution: It is recommended that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank
at any time during which the tank fill plug is open.
The level of resistance is determined by the
level indicator located on the front of the tank.
Level one indicates lightest resistance, level
twenty represents heaviest resistance.
Use the level +/- buttons on the E620 comput-
er to match the resistance setting on the fluid
tank.
Allow three to four seconds after adjusting re-
sistance handle for the correct resistance lev-
el to be achieved.
Long term water treatment:
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets supplied with this
machine. For replacement tablets, contact your local First Degree Fit-
ness distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the E620 will vary according to the fluid tanks
exposure to sunlight, but expect 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.
Resistance:
Important:
Do not fill past the calibration mark as indicated on the tank level stick-
er or water spillage may occur. See tank filling/water treatment page
for details.

Maintenance Chart.

Fault Probable
Cause Solution
Water changes color
or becomes cloudy. Rower is in di- rect sunlight or
has not had
water treat-
ment.
Change rower location to reduce direct
exposure to sunlight. Add water treat-
ment or change tank water as directed
in the water treatment section of this
manual.
Knocking noise from
inside the control arm
while training, espe-
cially when changing
directions.
Chain requires
tightening or
adjustment.
Open front end cap and check chain
tension using a screwdriver of other im-
plement. Do not use fingers. Proper
tension is 3-5mm of play. Please refer
to the Chain adjustment page for further
instructions.
Pedals slip during
hard training. PK tank belt requires tight-
ening.
Remove large inspection plate on oppo-
site side of tank and check belt tension.
For details on belt tightening, please re-
fer to the belt tightening page in this
manual.
Pedal is loose (either
left or right) and can-
not be retightened.
Aluminum
crank arm
threads are
stripped.
Contact service center for replacement.
Then check weekly as recommended.
Computer screen illu-
minates, but does not
register when rowing.
Loose or failed
connection/
Sensor gap
too wide (see
erratic com-
puter display).
Check that the computer lead is con-
nected properly. If connected properly
check sensor gap. Contact your local
service center if this fails to address the
problem.
The E620 computer
does not illuminate af-
ter battery installation.
Batteries in-
stalled incor-
rectly or need
replacing.
Reinstall batteries in correct position
and try again. If the LCD screen fails to
illuminate, try rotating the batteries
slightly in the computer. If this fails,
contact your local service center.
The E620 computer
display is erratic/slow
while displaying RPM
and WATTS
Gap between
sensor and
magnetic ring
is too wide.
Remove inspection plate, check sensor
gap and that magnetic ring is not wob-
bly or loose. The sensor bracket can
be bent slightly to bring the reed switch
closer to the magnetic ring.
Troubleshooting Guide:

Chain tensioning
bolts
Adjusting the E620 Chain
To adjust chain tension/alignment, first loosen slightly the 8 crank arm bolts lo-
cated on the sides of the crank arm axle covers. It is not necessary to remove
them. Once crank arm bolts are loosened, tighten the chain tensioning bolts in
equal, small increments “max 1/4 turn” until the correct tension is achieved.
Retighten bolts.
If the chain requires alignment, use the chain tensioning bolts individually to
correct alignment as shown below.
Crank arm
bolts

Tightening right
chain tensioning

Tightening left chain

The PK drive belt should rarely require tensioning, but should slippage be en-
countered, first remove the inspection plate cover. This will expose the tank
tensioning bolt which is tightened with a 13mm wrench. Turn clockwise and
test until slippage ceases.
Adjusting the E620 Drive belt
Note: If the belt is extremely loose, the tank bolts will have to be loosened
slightly before adjusting to allow maximum adjustment. This will require a
10mm Allen key and 19mm wrench (not supplied).
Do not over-tighten the tank bolts once adjustment is complete.
