Adjust tank water level
Filling the tank with water (Fig. E-3)
- Remove the rubber tank plug (33) from the top of the tank.
- Place a large bucket of water next to the rower and position the
siphon with the rigid hose in the bucket and the flexible hose into
the tank as shown. Make sure the small breather valve on the top of
the siphon is closed before filling.
‼ NOTE
•
13 liters of water is required for maximum filling.
•
Where water quality is poor, we recommend using distilled
water.
•
Putting the bucket higher than the tank will allow the siphon to
"self-pump" when adding water to the tank.
•
Consider using a towel under the bucket and water tank
preventing stains on the floor.
⚠ WARNING
•
Filling the water level over the Maximum level might result in
water leakage during workout.
- Begin filling the tank by squeezing the siphon. Use the level gauge
decal on the side of the tank to measure volume of water in the
tank.
- After filling the tank to the desired water level, open the valve on
the top of the siphon to allow excess water to escape.
- Ensure that the tank plug is replaced once filling and water
treatment procedures are complete.
Removing water from the tank (Fig. E-4)
- Remove the tank plug.
- Insert the siphon rigid hose end into the tank
- Insert the siphon flexible hose end into a large bucket.
- Drain the tank (approx. 20% of water will remain in the tank. It is
not possible to drain the tank completely without disassembling
the tank)
- Refill the tank following the directions as described under the
section "Filling the tank" of this manual.
‼ NOTE
•
If the water treatment schedule is maintained, it will not be
necessary to change the water inside the tank. An additional
water treatment tablet is only required when discolouration of
the water appears.
•
Exposure to sunlight affects the water. Moving the rower away
from direct sunlight will extend time between water treatments
Water treatment
- Add one water treatment tablet.
- Add a water treatment tablet whenever the water appears dirty or
cloudy over time.
⚠ WARNING
•
Only use the Tunturi supplied water treatment tablets.
Workouts
The workout must be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic
exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake,
which in turn improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire,
but you should not get out of breath during the workout.
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three
times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise
sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine
regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting
should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at
low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system
from being subjected to excessive strain.
As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be increased
gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by
monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.
