To purchase additional Water Treatment Tablets, please consult your nearest regional dealer/distributor or check our website at www.firstdegreefitness.com

CHANGING RESISTANCE LEVEL

Changing resistance on your Unit is simple. The level of resistance is determined by the level indicator located on the front of the Tank. Level one indicates the lightest resistance, level ten represents the heaviest resistance.

The Tank‟s variable fluid resistance technology ensures an instant catch and constant resistance throughout the movement.

Your Unit Monitor will automatically adjust to the resistance level selected on the Tank. Allow three to four seconds after adjusting the resistance handle for the correct resistance level to be achieved.

LONG-TERM WATER TREATMENT

WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WATER TREATMENT TABLET OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH YOUR UNIT.
The amount of time between water treatments can vary greatly depending on your unit‟s location and exposure to sunlight. Typically you can expect to treat your Tank water every 12-24 months. If the water becomes discolored or shows signs of algae / bacterial growth simply add one Water Treatment Tablet.

Bluetooth Auto-Adjust Monitor

Auto Start: Commence exercise to activate.
Reset all values: Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds.
Auto Power Down: Over 5 minutes. All values revert to zero after the restart.

WATT: Measures peak power in watts, calculating the strength and acceleration provided to accurately measure a user‟s power.

TRAINING DATA: Data gathered from each workout is displayed in a power curve and cumulative power graph, enabling real-time comparisons for effective progressive training.

AUTO ADJUST LEVEL: Built-in potentiometer automatically adjusts the Monitor‟s resistance level according to the position of the Fluid Force Lever on the tank.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY: Each unit is fitted with the most advanced Monitor technology, enabling Bluetooth connectivity with any compatible smart device.

---|---
Water changes color or becomes cloudy.| Change Unit location to reduce direct exposure to sunlight. Add water treatment or change Tank water as directed in the water treatment section of this manual. Consider using distilled water to refill the Tank.
I want to drain the fluid Tank on my E750.| It is recommended to take your unit outdoors, open the Tank Plug, and lay the unit on its back to facilitate the draining process. For simple, fast and efficient filling and/or drainage of the Fluid Tank, we have a battery-operated pump (rechargeable via USB) available as an option we recommend this to any commercial facility, with multiple units, that has a need to drain and refill Tanks from time to time. To purchase, contact your nearest First Degree Fitness distributor or go to our website on www.firstdegreefitness.com for details.
The Monitor display is erratic and illuminates, but does not register with movement.| It is possible that there is a loose connection. Check that the Monitor lead is connected properly to the unit. If connected properly check the Sensor gap. Contact your local dealer if this fails to address the problem.
The Monitor does not illuminate after battery installation.| Replace/reinstall batteries in the correct position and try again. If the LCO screen fails to illuminate, try rotating the batteries slightly in the Monitor.

If this fails, contact your local service center.

The Monitor LEVEL is not synchronized with the Tank LEVEL.| The Monitor LEVEL needs to be recalibrated. Please refer to ‘Calibration Procedure’ page 15 of this manual.

The chain requires tightening or adjustment.| Open Inspection Plate located on the 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.11 for details.
The 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.
Pedals slip during hard training. PK Tank Belt requires tightening.| Remove the 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.
