E820/E920 Assembly Instructions
L-pin
Step 1: Remove contents from box. At-
tach telescoping tube to the underside of
the control arm using 4x M8x15mm bolts
and 4x M8 spring washers.
The control arm is heavy and may
swing freely during this stage of
assembly. The L-pin is pre-
tightened from the factory in the opti-
mal position for assembly in relation to
the control arm. Do not loosen the L-
pin until the telescoping tube has been
safely secured to the underside of the
control arm.

E820(only) Assembly Instructions
Step 4: Secure right pedal onto Crank arm. The pedal threads
have a green coating which will feel very tight when threaded
onto the crank arm. This is a type of thread locker, and once in
contact with the crank arm threads will activate in approximate-
ly 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
thereafter with a 15mm wrench.

7
Step 4: Secure both left and right crank arms
onto the crank axle with M10 L-Pins. Note
Left and Right crank arms are marked as
such on the rear.
Note: Check pedal tightness periodically with a 15mm wrench.

lows for tightening the chain
or adjustment from side to
side. Make sure when tight-
ening only to adjust the same
amount for both bolts, other-
wise the sprocket will be mis-
aligned. Note: Tightening
the right bolt only will pull the
right side of the crank assem-
bly toward you, tightening the

tension by hand!
E920 Adjustable crank arms: Designed with a full 120mm of
travel , the 300mm crank arms are designed for a wide range
of upper body workout possibilities. The numbered indenta-
tions allow for accurate positioning on both sides throughout
the range of travel. One side can also be turned inde-
pendently to allow for even greater variation during your up-
per body workouts.
Pedal Handle:
Loosen knob to
adjust handle posi-
tion from 0-90 de-
grees.
L-pin: Loosen to allow the control
arm to travel through 90 degrees

Note: A large bucket is required for filling (Not included)
Tank Filling and Water Treatment
Open the rear upper yellow 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 ap-
proximately 8liters of water.
Warning: Do not under any circumstances put fingers
into the tank. Use the end of the hose to
move the impeller should the need arise.
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 Chlorine 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 concen-
trated and will readily
stain carpet or cloth-
ing.
Caution: Use a drop cloth when filling or adding blue dye

CAUTION
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 rep-
resents heaviest resistance. Allow
three to four seconds after adjusting
resistance handle for the correct re-
sistance level to be achieved.
Long term water treatment:
Do not use any water treatment other than the tablets sup-
plied with this machine. For replacement tablets, contact
your local First Degree Fitness distributor.
Water treatment schedules for the E820/E920 will vary accord-
ing to the fluid tanks exposure to sunlight, but expect 8-12
months near a bright, sunlit window and 2 years or more for a
darker location. At the point of finding the water slightly cloudy,
add a Chlorine tablet. Remember to wait 72 hours following
the chlorine tablet before adding the blue dye as the Chlorine
tablet 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/water treatment page for details.
Long Term Water Treatment and Basic Operation
Resistance:
Warning:
Use both hands when either raising or lowering
the E820/E920control arm.
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 for-
ward and reverse rotation during workouts.

Fault Probable Cause Solution
Water changes color or becomes
cloudy. Rower is in direct sunlight or has not had water treatment.
Change rower location to reduce direct exposure to sunlight. Add
water treatment and blue dye or change tank water as directed in
the water treatment section of this manual.
Knocking noise from inside the control
arm while training, especially when
changing directions.
Chain requires tightening or
adjustment. 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.10 for details.
Pedals slip during hard training. PK tank belt requires tighten-
ing. 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 tension-
ing 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
Pedal is loose (either left or right) and
cannot be retightened. Aluminum crank arm threads are stripped.
Contact service center for replacement. Then check weekly as
recommended.
Computer screen illuminates, but does
not register when rowing.
Loose or failed connection/
Sensor gap too wide (see er-
ratic computer display).
Check that the computer lead is connected properly. If connected
properly check sensor gap. Contact your local service center if
this fails to address the problem.
The E820/E920 computer does not illu-
minate after battery installation. Batteries installed incorrectly or need replacing. 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 service center.
The E820E920 computer display is er-
ratic/slow while displaying RPM and
WATTS
Gap between sensor and mag-
netic ring is too wide. Remove inspection plate and check sensor gap and that magnetic ring is not wobbly.
Troubleshooting Guide:

15
Step 1
Step 1: Remove large metal inspec-
tion plate as shown above right.
Step 2: Using a long tool, push out
the rear end cap as pictured above
right. This will give you access to the
tank tensioning bolt (shown bottom
right).
Step 3: Loosen both the rear and
front tank bolts slightly as shown left.
Remove front rubber belt cover.
Step 4: Using a 6mm Allen key,
tighten the belt using the tank ten-
sioning bolt until the belt no longer
slips during hard rowing.
Note: Do not over tighten tank
bolts.
