Important Safety Instructions
All users should read the operating instructions contained within this manual and under-
stand how to use the Predator E620ST before use. Visit www.firstdegreefitness.com
for additional information on technique and training instruction.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. CAUTION: As with all fitness programs
it is advisable to consult a physician
before undertaking exercise of a stren-
uous nature.
If you experience any pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and
consult your physician. Warm up before
undertaking any strenuous exercise.
2. Know your heart rate and/or pulse, and
physician recommended heart rate
training zone. Note that heart rate
monitoring systems may be inaccurate
and cannot be fully relied upon.
3. Our safety guarantee is based on the
user conducting routine checks on key
components such as belts, pulleys and
bungee cords for signs of wear and
tear. Should defective components be
identified, replace and/or keep the unit
out of use until it is repaired.
4. Wear comfortable clothing that allows
freedom of movement and shoes with
non-slip soles.
5. The Predator E620ST is not suitable
for therapeutic purposes. Perform ex-
ercises with correct technique and
consult a personal trainer for guidance
if unsure.
6. Do not remove hands from the han-
dles while the crank is in motion. The
crank will continue to rotate and
could cause injury.
7. For maximum stability always assem-
ble and operate your Predator
E620ST on a stable, flat surface.
8. For your safety always ensure your
Predator E620ST has adequate
space around it. The free area should
be no less than 600mm on either side
of the unit’s access points. This must
also include the area for emergency
dismount.
NOTE: Where equipment is placed ad-
jacent to each other, the free area
may be shared.
9. Keep fingers clear of pivot points dur-
ing both assembly and use as indicat-
ed by the warning decals on the main-
frame.
10. Do not leave children alone to operate
the machine.
11. Use only the adjustment settings as
described in the instructions.

c) Secure right and left handle onto
corresponding crank arms by screw-
ing the handle counter- clockwise
using the Multi-tool [12]
d) Re-assemble the M8 Bolt and M15
Washer onto the handle on each side

to crank arm. This is a type of thread locker, which once in contact with the
crank arm will cause threads to activate. Note: Allow 15 minutes for the
thread locker to activate before first time use. Check pedal tightness periodi-
cally thereafter with a 15mm wrench. DO NOT USE IF NOT TIGHT.

peller slightly may be necessary to allow the hose to pass). In areas where tap
water quality is known to be poor, F D F recommends the use of distilled wa-
ter.
c) 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.
d) Once filling is complete follow the water treatment schedule below.

Opearating Instructions
CHANGING RESISTANCE LEVEL
Changing resistance on your Predator E620ST is simple. The level of resistance is
determined by the level indicator located on the side of tank. Level one indicates
lightest resistance, level twenty represents heaviest resistance. The tank’s variable
fluid resistance technology ensures an instant catch and constant resistance
throughout the pedaling.
Be sure to set the level +/- buttons on the E620ST computer to match the re-
sistance setting on the fluid tank lever for accurate readings. Allow three to four
seconds after adjusting resistance handle for the correct resistance level to be
achieved.
START CRANKING
a) Stand on the foot plates with feet
shoulder width apart (feet, hips
and shoulders should be square to
the machine).
b) Grip ergonomic handles comforta-
bly and commence rotating the
cranks forward or backward.
c) Stand close enough so that when
either arm is at its furthest point
away from you, your arm is com-
fortably extended and your shoul-
ders are still square.
d) If you are seeking a ‘full body’
workout, try applying pressure
from your hips and feet to engage
a fully integrated crank.
e) To stop the crank action, gradually
slow motion and apply tension in
the opposite direction.
LONG-TERM WATER TREATMENT
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WATER TREATMENT TABLET OTHER THAN THOSE
SUPPLIED WITH YOUR UNIT.
The amount of time between water treatments can vary greatly depending on your
unit’s location and exposure to sunlight. Typically you can expect to treat your tank
water every 12-24 months. If water becomes discoloured or shows signs of algae /
bacterial growth simply add one Water Treatment Tablet.
Please consult your nearest regional dealer to arrange the purchase of further
treatment tablets or visit
www.firstdegreefitness.com/support for further advice and assistance.

Problem Solution
The water tank appears cloudy or tank
water has changed colour.
Check to see that your unit has not been
positioned in direct sunlight as this can im-
pact the water quality.
Your tank requires a water treatment every
12-24 months. To treat the water, refer to
the section in this manual called “Long –
Term Water Treatment” on page 8.
I want to drain the fluid tank on my
E620ST.
It is recommended to take your unit out-
doors, open the yellow fill plug, and lay unit
on its side to facilitate draining process. If
draining indoors, a container capable of
holding 8litres of water will be required.
The computer display is erratic and illumi-
nates, but does not register with move-
ment.
It is possible that there is a loose connec-
tion. Check that the computer lead is con-
nected properly to the unit. If connected
properly check sensor gap. Contact your
local dealer if this fails to address the
problem.
The computer does not illuminate after
battery installation.
Reinstall batteries in correct position and
try again. If the LCD screen fails to illumi-
nate, try rotating the batteries slightly in
the computer. If this fails, contact your
local dealer.
To ensure maximum lifespan and optimal performance follow these steps:
1. Keep your E620ST in a dry, clean climate controlled environment at room temper-
ature.
2. Only treat water with FDF genuine Water Tablets. Refer to ‘water treatment’
section on page 8.
3. Periodically clean your machine with disinfectant, applied using a lint free cloth.
4. Wipe dust off the machine.
