from 0-90 degrees.
E920 Slider Arms: Refer to
following assembly page.
Inspection plate: Open to check chain tension.

5mm of slack only. See top of page for adjust-
ment details.
Warning: Do not check chain tension by
Hand!
Chain tensioning bolts: Allows for tightening the chain or adjustment from side to side.
Make sure when tightening only to adjust the same amount for both bolts, otherwise the
sprocket will be misaligned.

Tank Filling and Water Treatment
Yellow
Tank
plug
Filling hose and
funnel
Note: A large 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.
Open the tank plug and insert
hose into tank (rotating the im-
peller slightly may be neces-
sary 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 ap-
proximately 8 liters of water.
Do not under any circum-
stances put fingers into the
tank. Use the end of the hose
to move the impeller should
the need arise.
WARNING
Note: Lower tank plug is permanently
sealed.
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 tab-
lets.
Use a drop cloth under the tank when
filling the tank to avoid damage floor or
carpet
Caution:

18
Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
Caution: It is important that a drop cloth be used under the fluid tank
whenever the tank plug is opened for water treatment.
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. Allow three to four seconds after adjusting resistance 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 ma-
chine. For replacement tablets, contact your local First Degree Fitness distributor
or visit www.firstdegreefitness.com for distributor locations.
Water treatment schedules for the E920 will vary according to the fluid tanks expo-
sure to sunlight but expect 8-12 months near a bright, sunlit window and 2-4 years
for a darker location. At the point of finding the water slightly green, add a Chlorine
tablet. Remember to wait 72 hours before adding the blue dye as the Chlorine tab-
let is extremely concentrated.
Important: 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.
Resistance:
Removing hands before the crank comes to
a complete stop while training can cause in-
jury. The crank is direct drive so as to allow
both forward and reverse rotation during
workouts.
