HOW TO FILL AND EMPTY THE TANK
Water level label
Fig. B
Fig. A
1. Remove the Fill Plug (No.33) from the Upper Tank Cover (No.12).
2. To ll tank with water, refer to Fig. A. Insert the Funnel (No.77) into the tank, then use a cup or the Siphon
Pump (No.76) and a bucket to ll the tank. Use the water level gauge on the side of the tank to measure
desired water level in the tank.
3. To empty the tank, refer to Fig. B. Place a bucket next to the rower, and use the Siphon Pump (No.76) to
pump out the water from the tank into the bucket.
4. Insert the Fill Plug (No.33) into the Upper Tank Cover (No.12). Wipe excess water o󰀨 of the frame.
NOTE:
• Fill the tank only with tap water. Add 1 water-purication tablet (1 packet is included).
Never use pool chlorine or chlorine bleach. This will damage the tank and void the warranty.
• Add a water purication tablet every 6 months or as needed. If water remains cloudy,
replace the water in the tank.
• Water from the tank is not suitable for consumption. Dispose the water after pumping it out from the tank.
WATER LEVEL:
• See Fig. A. The water level gauge is on the side of the tank. The maximum ll level is 6. Never ll it over
this limit. Filling the tank over this limit will void the warranty.
• The resistance depends on the water level in the tank. Water level 1 is the lowest resistance. Level 6 is the
highest resistance.

14H2O ROWER
ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
There are 3 hooks (A, B, C) for the bungee cord, located on the inside of the frame under the water tank.
If you hook the bungee cord on to B or C, it increases the assisted return of the mesh belt. C is the fastest
return. Use caution when adjusting the bungee cord.
ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAP
The pedal strap is adjustable and can be
personalized to t the user’s foot size.
To adjust the pedal strap, remove the Velcro
end of the strap from the mesh side by pul-
ling it upward then to the left.
Once removed, you may increase the ope-
ning of the pedal strap by pulling the mesh
end up and to the right.
