1. Remove the Fill Plug (No.50) from the Upper Tank Cover (No.24).
2. To ll tank with water, refer to Fig. A. Insert the Funnel (No.90) into the tank, then use a cup or

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.91) to pump out the water from the tank into the bucket.
4. Insert the Fill Plug (No.50) into the Upper Tank Cover (No.24). Wipe excess water o󰀨 of the

NOTE:
• Fill the tank only with tap water. 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. Humidity and temperature can
play a role. 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.
• To extend the life of your rower and prolong use between tank cleanings, please purchase wa-
ter cleaning tablets at www.xterratness.com, or by calling 1-[phone].
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.
