Mounting Arm Replacement

In this article

    If the mounting arm needs to be replaced, the following steps should be followed. First, check the serial number for your rower, located on the right side of the tank. If your serial number is below 609000 follow Method A below. If your serial number is above 609000 follow Method B. 

    Note:  If replacing both your tank and arm assembly together, follow these steps instead.

    Method A- Your serial number is before 609000 

    In addition to the below instructions, the following video may be referenced for further guidance: 

     

    1. Begin by disconnecting the wires connected to the Touchscreen, as well as the Touchscreen mount. The power cable (attached to the Touchscreen) and sensor cable (attached to the mount) can be left hanging from from mounting arm. Place the USB cable in a safe location.

    2. Using the 1/8th" Allen Key, remove the Touchscreen bolt from the Touchscreen mount.

    7. Take your replacement mounting arm, and with the locking mechanism pulled to the unlocked position, place the new mounting arm onto the forward risers. A clicking sound will be heard when positioned correctly, and the locking mechanism engages.

    8. Re-fasten the tablet arm to the forward riser using the previously removed JCB's, and the 7/32" Allen Key.

    9. Take the Touchscreen and place it on the mounting arm, ensuring it is pushed all the way back onto the arm. When fully seated, the Touchscreen should not be able to rotate from side to side.

    10. Re-insert the Touchscreen bolt into the mount and tighten down with the 1/8" Touchscreen bolt.

    11. Re-attach the wires per the below diagram:
