TANK FILLING AND WATER TREATMENT

CAUTION: USE A DROP CLOTH UNDER THE TANK WHEN TO AVOID STAINING FLOOR COVERING

WARNING: IMPELLER BLADES ARE SHARP! DO NOT PLACE FINGERS IN TANK TO ADJUST IMPELLER POSITION. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE END OF THE HOSE SHOULD THE IMPELLER REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT.

• Filling requires a large bucket (not supplied) and the supplied water funnel and hose. Filling will take approximately 8 litres of water.
• Open the yellow fill plug on the back of tank and insert hose (rotating the im-peller slightly may be necessary to allow the hose to pass). In areas where tap water quality is known to be poor, FDF recommends the use of distilled wa-ter.
• Move the tank adjuster handle to level 20 and begin filling. Do not fill the tank higher than the level indicator on the front of the clear shell.
•  Once filling is complete follow the water treatment schedule below.

INITIAL WATER TREATMENT

• Add One Water Treatment Tablet per full tank.
  Do NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, USE A WATER TREATMENT TABLET OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED YOU’RE YOUR UNIT. Your unit purchase includes 4xWater Treatment Tablets, which is sufficient for several years of use.

Operating Instructions

CHANGING RESISTANCE LEVEL
Changing resistance on your Predator E620ST is simple. The level of resistance is determined by the level indicator located on the side of tank. Level one indicates lightest resistance, level twenty represents heaviest resistance. The tank’s variable fluid resistance technology ensures an instant catch and constant resistance throughout the pedaling.

Be sure to set the level +/- buttons on the E620ST computer to match the re- sistance setting on the fluid tank lever for accurate readings. Allow three to four seconds after adjusting resistance handle for the correct resistance level to be achieved.

START CRANKING

• Stand on the foot plates with feet shoulder width apart (feet, hips and shoulders should be square to the machine).
• Grip ergonomic handles comfortably and commence rotating the cranks forward or backward.
•  Stand close enough so that when either arm is at its furthest point away from you, your arm is comfortably extended and your shoulders are still square.
•  If you are seeking a ‘full body’ workout, try applying pressure from your hips and feet to engage a fully integrated crank.
• To stop the crank action, gradually slow motion and apply tension in the opposite direction.

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 water becomes discolored or shows signs of algae / bacterial growth simply add one Water Treatment Tablet.
Please consult your nearest regional dealer to arrange the purchase of further treatment tablets or visit
www.firstdegreefitness.com/support for further advice and assistance.
