Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

5.1: Console

Fault Probable Cause Solution
Computer screen illuminates, but does not register when rowing. Loose or failed connection/Sensor gap too wide (see erratic computer display). Check that the computer lead is connected properly. If connected properly check sensor gap. Contact your local service center if this fails to address the problem.
The Hydro Rower computer does not illuminate after battery installation. Batteries installed incorrectly or need replacing. Reinstall batteries in correct position and try again. If the LCD screen fails to illuminate, try rotating the batteries slightly in the computer. If this fails, contact your local service center.
The Hydro Rower computer display is erratic while displaying SPM and 500 meter times. Gap between sensor and magnetic ring is too wide. Adjust sensor location using rear sliding adjustment located near timing pulley.

5.2: Mechanical

Fault Probable Cause Solution
Water changes color or becomes cloudy. Rower is in direct sunlight or has not had water treatment. Change rower location to reduce direct exposure to sunlight. Add 1x Water Treatment Tablet or change tank water as directed in the water treatment section of this manual. Consider using distilled water to refill tank.
Rowing stroke return too light. Bungee not under enough tension. Tighten by small increments using the bungee tie off tab point and test tension by allowing the rowing handle to return to its furthest point forward while still having some slight tension. Note: Light fraying of the bungee cord is normal.
Cracked water tank Tank hardware over tightened. Make sure to not over tighten the tank bolts. The water tank bolts must be torqued to 9.5 in-lb (11 kg-cm).

Replace water tank if leaking.

Tank material degraded by using chemical cleaner to wipe tank. Only wipe the tank with water and a clean cloth. Do NOT use any chemical content cleaner.

Replace water tank if leaking.

Rower in direct sunlight Change rower location to reduce direct exposure to sunlight.

Direct sunlight could have adverse affects on tank durability.
