The Adjustable Resistance (AR) Tank, developed and patented by FIRST DEGREE FITNESS,
offers a true multi-level experience. Water is moved between the "storage" and "active"
chambers of the AR Tank. Your new Rowing Ergometer can adapt - at the turn of a dial -
to the resistance preferred by each user in the home environment.
To achieve minimum resistance, select "MIN" on the tank adjuster. It takes 10 strokes
to fill the central (storage) tank, leaving a minimal amount of water in the outer (active)
tank. This process is always required if minimum resistance is desired. Row hard at a
steady pace (20 to 25 strokes per minute [SPM]) and put some effort into the stroke,
ensuring that good form is maintained. You can make adjustments to the resistance
level while you row. Your Rowing Ergometer will adapt almost instantly to increases in
resistance but will take up to 10 strokes to reduce the effort required, as the central
(storage) tank fills up.
Once you have found a level that gives you the exercise required, changes can be made
to SPM and to stroke intensity to further vary your energy input. Interval training is
used by most Rowers, where a period of low intensity is combined with short intervals
of high intensity. Your FDF Rowing Ergometer allows for changes 'on the fly', to achieve
multi-level resistance profiles during a single workout. For more information on exercise

maximum amount of water to
reach the flywheel for heaviest
resistance
