Training with E620
1. As with any piece of fitness equipment, consult a physician
before beginning your E620 exercise program.
CAUTION:
2. Use two hands and follow all safety instructions when raising
lowering the E620 control arm.

Step 2:
Attach telescoping tube
to control arm using 4x
M8x15mm bolts and 4x
M8 spring washers.
The control arm is heavy and may
swing freely during this stage of
assembly. The yellow tension
knob is pre-tightened from the fac-
tory in the optimal position for as-
sembly in relation to the control
arm. Do not loosen the yellow
tension knob until the telescoping
tube has been safely secured to
the underside of the control arm
as pictured left.
CAUTION:
WARNING:
Keep fingers clear of pivot
points at all times.

Step 3:
Attach the seat frame to the mainframe
using 2x M10x25mm bolts, 2x M10
washers and 2x M10 nylock nuts.
Tighten securely

Note: The blue dye is
extremely concentrated
and will stain carpet or
clothing if spilled.
Blue Dye
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.
Water Treatment Procedures:
1. Add Chlorine tablet.
2. Wait a minimum of 72 hours. Then
add very small amount of blue dye and
check for desired color. Important! Do
not add blue dye for at least 72 hours
following Chlorine treatment. The
blue dye adds visual appeal as well as
cutting down the amount of light affect-
ing the tank water, extending the
amount of time between water treat-
ments.
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.
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. In-
doors a container capable of holding 8 liters of wa-
ter will be required
Caution: Use a drop cloth
when filling or adding blue
dye
Warning:

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 com-
puter to match the resistance setting on the
fluid tank.
Allow three to four seconds after adjusting re-
sistance handle for the correct resistance
level 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 Fitness dis-
tributor.
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. Remember to wait 72 hours following the chlo-
rine tablet before adding the blue dye as the chlorine is highly concentrated.
Resistance:
Important:
Do not fill past the calibration mark as indicated on the tank level
sticker or water spillage may occur. See tank filling/water treatment
page for details.

Item Timeframe Instructions
Seat and Frame. Monthly Wipe weekly with lint free
cloth or more often with
heavy club use.
PK belt tension. Monthly. Check monthly for signs of
slippage. Adjust/tighten as
required. See the tensioning
belt section of this manual.
Tank and water treat-
ment. 12 months to 2 years. Follow instructions as speci- fied in the “Water Treatment”
section of this manual.
Chain drive. Check every 100 hours
for correct tension. Remove the Control arm front end cap and check ten-
sion using a screwdriver or
other tool. Tighten as re-
quired using chain tensioning
bolts located at the end of
the control arm. Do not un-
der any circumstances use
fingers to check chain ten-
sion! See tightening/
adjusting chain section of
this manual.
E620 pedals. Tighten weekly using
15mm box wrench
(supplied)
The pedals should be
checked on a regular basis.
A loose pedal can cause
damage to the crank arm
aluminum threads, requiring
replacement.
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 and blue dye or change tank wa-
ter 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.

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.
