c) Secure right and left handle onto corresponding
crank arms by screwing the handle counter-
clockwise using the Multi-tool 12 .
d) Re-assemble the M8 Bolt and M15 Washer onto the
handle on each side using the 6mm Allen Key 11 .
NOTE: Handle threads have a blue coating which will feel very tight when threaded onto 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 periodically thereafter with a 15mm
wrench. DO NOT USE IF NOT TIGHT.
CAUTION! EXTREME OVER-TIGHTENING COULD DAMAGE THE ALUMINIUM THREADS ON THE CRANK ARM.

CAUTION: USE A DROP CLOTH UNDER THE TANK WHEN FILLING TO AVOID STAINING FLOOR COVERING.
WARNING: IMPELLER BLADES ARE SHARP! DO NOT PLACE FINGERS IN TANK TO ADJUST IMPELLER POSITION. IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO USE THE END OF THE HOSE SHOULD THE IMPELLER REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT.
a) Filling requires a large bucket (not supplied) and the supplied water funnel and hose. Filling will take
approximately 8 litres of water.
b) Open the yellow fill plug on the back of tank and insert hose (rotating the impeller slightly may be necessary
to allow the hose to pass). In areas where tap water quality is known to be poor, FDF recommends the use of
distilled water.
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.

STEP 4 TANK FILLING AND WATER TREATMENT
INITIAL WATER TREATMENT
a) Add One 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.

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 the 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 pedalling.
Be sure to set the level +/- buttons on the E620ST computer to match the resistance 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 comfortably 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 comfortably extended and your
shoulders 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.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
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 impact 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 outdoors, open the yellow
fill plug, and lay unit on its side to facilitate draining process. If
draining indoors, a container capable of holding 8 litres of water
will be required.
The computer display is erratic and
illuminates, but does not register
with movement.
It is possible that there is a loose connection. Check that the
computer lead is connected 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 illuminate, try rotating the batteries slightly in the
computer. If this fails, contact your local dealer.
