How do I maintain my RP3

Edited

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

The typical dynamic rowing character of the RP3 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.

In order to keep your machine in top condition please follow the advice below:

  1. 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. Lubricate the chain every 3 months. 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 the machine onto the bar and ask a helper to pull the handle to its full extent. Wipe the chain with an oil-soaked rag to coat the chain in a thin layer of oil. A light 3 in 1 oil is recommended.

  3. If you have a Bluetooth compatible model S, the Bluetooth module is powered by a rechargeable powerbank. This powerbank will need recharging roughly once a month. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. If your RP3 develops a fault or cleaning the bar does not result in the machine running smoothly, please contact us on info@bontrowing.com
