Maintenance

Easy to maintain

Like everything with moving parts, our RP3 models also need regular maintenance.

The typical dynamic rowing character of our models is provided by a mechanically ingenious operation that simulates rowing on water. The moving parts with the chain and bearings that drive the flywheel require regular maintenance. Obviously the more use, the more wear and tear.

Cleaning after each workout is self-evident, as is cleaning and drying your rowing boat after a session. The dynamic rowing character of our models

If you suspect your rowing machine requires a repair, please contact us. If your machines are ‘club owned’, they require servicing annually to keep them in top condition. Please visit our contactpage to book a machine service.

Maintenance cheklist

1. Main bar

Always clean the main bar (S) / bars (T) after every session. This prevents dirt building up inside the machine. Paper towel and anti-bacterial spray are ideal for this.

2. Chain

Lubricate the chain every month as a minimum. When used daily, increase the frequency. This is especially important if you plan to keep the RP3 in humid or damp conditions. This is easier to do with two people. Lock or hold the machine onto the bar and ask a helper to pull the handle to its full extent. You also can use a little rope to connect the handlebar to the rear leg temporary.
Wipe the chain with a rag to coat the chain in a thin layer: a silicon spray is recommended. Silicone spray is only needed twice a year with daily use.

3. Powerbank

If you have a Bluetooth compatible RP3 Model S, the Bluetooth module is powered by a rechargeable powerbank. This powerbank will need recharging roughly once a month, sometimes somewhat sooner when used more often. It is recharged with a standard micro-USB charger and accessed by unscrewing the black thumbscrew on the back of the machine and lifting the panel (see below). The powerbank can be unplugged from the machine to recharge it.

This is the case with the RP3 Model T as well. The Model T powerbank is charged by the machine itself. Sometimes it is needed to recharge this powerbank as well. So when the fixed monitor is not working, check the powerbank here.

4. App updates

It is also worth connecting the tablet to WIFI occasionally to ensure you have the latest version of the RP3 App installed. The App is updated on a regular basis to provide additional functionality and fix any bugs.

5. Repair or service

If your RP3 develops a fault or cleaning the bar does not result in the machine running smoothly, please contact us to arrange a machine repair or service.
