STEP 10
Gently revolve the M1 footboard assembly toward the M1 tank assembly so
that the two handle rest holes on the M1 footboard assembly pass over the two
inserts on the M1 tank assembly, as shown.
STEP 11
Use the Ratchet supplied, two handle rest cap screws and two handle rests,
fasten the top of the M1 footboard assembly to the M1 tank assembly. Do
not overtighten the handlerest bolts. These can be permanently damaged if
overtightened.
STEP 12
Remove the two footpads from the tank/component box. Slide the footpads
underneath the footpad cover plate. Use a flat head screw driver to lift the
footpads up and over the lip of the cover plate. The footpads can be adjusted
by lifting the top lip of the footpad up to unhook it and
repositioned on another hole. Adjust as necessary.
STEP 13
Release the recoil belt which is fastened to the end pad assembly. Ensure that
the recoil belt is passing over all guide pulleys. Stand the WaterRower upright
to access the bungee and recoil strap. Connect the bungee to the recoil strap
by hooking the bungee hook through the recoil belt D-ring.
STEP 14
Make sure your recoil belt is properly tensioned. Your recoil is too tight if the
bungee is resisting you at the back of your stroke (furthest from the tank). It is
too loose if there is slack during the recovery phase (coming forward toward
the tank).
To Adjust:
1. Rest the handle as far forward as possible.
2. Unclip recoil belt from bungee cord.
3. Wrap (to tighten) or unwrap (to loosen) the recoil belt around the recoil
bushing (where the belt winds up) by one revolution.
4. Thread recoil belt back along its path.
5. Clip recoil belt to bungee.
6. For fine adjustments, use recoil belt buckle.
