SAFETY REMINDERS
It’s very important to use common sense and adhere to these safety guidelines in order to avoid injury
to yourself or damage to your Vasa Kayak Ergometer. Please follow this “pre-ight” safety check prior to
using your Vasa Kayak Ergometer:
• DO NOT let go of the PADDLE SHAFT while the drive cords are extended - they could hit and damage
the unit. Always return the paddle to the start position.
• Always instruct bystanders, especially children, to keep totally clear while the Ergometer is in use,
especially of the moving drive cords and ywheel.
• Keep eyes and hands clear of the air outlet below the damper door. To avoid blowing dust into the air,
eyes or into the electronics, do not operate in a dusty area.
• Do not operate if the front assembly cover(s) have been removed.
• Do not pull the drive cords past the end of the rear stanchion. If the drive cords become
difcult to pull (like the cord is stuck), do not continue to pull as this may damage your Ergometer.
• Perform proper maintenance on your Vasa Kayak Ergometer as recommended in “Maintenance &
Troubleshooting” section.
