E920 Assembly Instructions
Adjuster Knob
Step 1: Remove contents from box. Attach telescoping tube to the underside of the
control arm using 4x M8x15mm bolts and 4x M8 spring washers.
The control arm is heavy and will swing freely during this stage of assembly. The ad-
juster knob is pre-tightened from the factory in the optimal position for assembly in rela-
tion 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.
Step 1a: Thread the 3x foot levelers into underside of base. Adjust as required.

The E920 Control Arm
Crank arm bolts: Loosen
all 8 bolts slightly before
adjusting/tightening chain.
Handgrip: Loosen knob
to adjust handle position
from 0-90 degrees.
E920 Slider Arms: Refer to
following assembly page.
Inspection plate: Open to check chain tension.
With a screwdriver or other implement, check
tension just behind front sprocket.
Note: Aproperly adjusted chain will have 3mm-
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.
Note: Tightening the right bolt only (turning clockwise) will pull the right side of the crank
assembly toward you, tightening the left will pull the left side toward you. Use this feature
to realign the rear with the front sprocket if needed or when changing to a new chain.
Adjustment Knob: Loosen to allow
the control arm to travel through 90
degrees of travel. Note the tele-
scoping tube is gas assisted.
Tighten securely when desired
workout position is reached.

E920 Slider Arm Kit Installation Instructions
Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 to install right
Slider Arm onto axle.
Step 1: Mount the left Slider Arm onto
the axle using the yellow indicator hole
to align the slider and axle.
Step 2: Tighten the set screw onto the axle
and into the yellow indicator hole using the
3mm Allen key.
Step 3: Thread Adjustment Knob onto
axle to secure the assembly.

9
Using the E920 Slider Arm
The E920 Slider Arm Kit offers the user an entire range of added
resistance settings and the ability to perform additional upper
body workouts.
To adjust, simply loosen the Adjustment Knobs, move SliderArm
to desired length and secure. Very little tension is needed.
What do the numbers mean?
The numbers represent the length (in cm) from the center of the
axle to the center of the handgrip shaft bolt. The shortest Slider
Arm length is 12cm and the maximum length is 21cm. The range
of adjustment is 9cm.
Additional Exercises: Training can now be achieved with both
left and right Handgrips moving parallel , rather than in an
opposed motion.
Step 1: On the right Slider Arm Assembly, remove the adjust-
ment knob, loosen set screw and remove Assembly from axle.
Step 2: As shown below, rotate right Slider Arm 180 degrees
and reinstall onto axle. There is an additional screw locator hole
located on opposite side of axle .

Tank Filling and Water Treatment
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.
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 Chlo-
rine treatment. The blue dye
adds visual appeal as well as
cutting down the amount of light
affecting the tank water, thus
extending the amount of time
between water treatments.
Note: The blue
dye is extremely
concentrated and
will readily stain
carpet or clothing.
Caution: Use a drop cloth when filling or
adding blue dye
Blue Dye
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

11
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.

Maintenance Chart.

14
Fault Probable
Cause Solution
Tank internal surfaces
show green deposit. Rower is in direct sunlight or has
not had water
treatment.
Add water treatment or change tank water
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 ad-
justment.
Open inspection plate located on front of
control arm and check tension using a
screwdriver or other tool. Use the chain
tensioning bolts located at the rear of the
control arm to tighten or adjust as needed.
The chain should have approx 3mm of
slack when properly adjusted. See P.6 for
details.
HandGrips slip during
hard training. PK tank belt re- quires tightening. Remove large inspection plate next to the tank, insert a long tool to push the rear
end cap out from the inside, exposing the
tank belt tensioning bolt. Loosen tank
bolts slightly. Remove upper rubber belt
cover to expose the PK belt. Tighten the
tank tensioning bolt until the belt is too
tight to be twisted from side to side more
than 45 degrees by hand. See P.15 for
details
HandGrip is loose
(either left or right)
and cannot be retight-
ened.
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. Sen-
sor gap too wide
(see erratic com-
puter display).
Check that the computer lead is con-
nected properly. If connected properly,
check sensor gap. Open main inspection
cover and check behind magnetic ring.
Sensor head to ring gap should be no
more than 2.5mm.
The E920 computer
does not illuminate
after battery installa-
tion.
Batteries installed
incorrectly or
need replacing.
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 lo-
cal service center.
The E920 computer
display is erratic/slow
while displaying RPM
and WATTS
Gap between
sensor and mag-
netic ring is too
wide.
Once inspection plate is removed, check
behind magnetic ring and inspect sensor
head/ring distance. Gap should be 2.5mm
wide or less. Check Magnetic ring for
wobble.
Troubleshooting Guide:

15
Step 1: Remove large metal in-
spection plate as shown above
