Assembly Instructions
4x 8x15mm bolts
and 4x M8 spring
washers
Adjuster knob
Remove contents from box. Attach telescoping tube to the underside of the control
arm using 4x M8x15mm bolts[5] and 4x M8 spring washers[15].
The control arm is heavy and may swing freely during this
stage of assembly. The Adjuster knob is pre-tightened from
the factory in the optimal position for assembly in relation to the control arm. Do not
loosen the Adjuster knob until the telescoping tube has been safely secured to the
underside of the control arm.
CAUTION

Secure right pedal onto Crank arm. The pedal threads have a blue coating which
will feel very tight when threaded onto the crank arm. This is a type of thread lock-
er, and once in contact with the crank arm threads will activate in approximately
15minutes.
Caution! Extreme over-tightening could damage the aluminum threads on the
crank arm.
Note: Allow 15 minutes for the thread
locker to activate before first time use.
Check pedal tightness periodically thereaf-
ter with a 15mm wrench.

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.
Note: Tightening the right bolt only will pull the right side of the crank assembly to-
ward you, tightening the left will pull the left side toward you. Use this feature to re-
align the rear with the front sprocket if needed or when changing to a new chain.
Crank arm bolts: Loosen all 8
bolts slightly before adjusting/
tightening chain.
Inspection plate: Open to
check chain tension.
Warning:
Do not check chain tension
with fingers!

trol arm to travel through 90 degrees of
travel. Note the telescoping tube is gas
assisted.

Tank Filling and Water Treatment
Yellow Tank
Plug
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 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.
Warning
Do not under any circumstances
put fingers into the tank. Use the
end of the hose to move the impel-
ler should the need arise.
Note: Lower
tank plug is
permanently
sealed.
Use a drop cloth under the tank
when filling the tank to avoid dam-
age floor or carpet

ficient for several years of water treatment. Treat when water becomes discolored
or shows signs of Algae/Bacterial growth. To purchase additional chlorine tabs,
please consult your nearest regional dealer/distributor or check our website

Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
Long term water treatment:
Water treatment schedules for the E820 will vary according to the fluid
tanks exposure 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. .
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 treat-
ment page for details.
Removing hands before the crank
comes to a complete stop while
training can cause injury. The crank
is direct drive so as to allow both
forward and reverse rotation during
workouts.

is determined by the level indicator
located on the front of the tank.
Level one indicates lightest re-
sistance, level twenty represents
heaviest resistance. Allow three to
four seconds after adjusting re-
sistance handle for the correct re-
sistance level to be achieved.
