4. Loosen the clamping knob.
Align the clamping plate square in the
slot as the outer front leg slides over
the inner leg.
5. Slide the outer leg down until
the axle protrudes through the top
plate.

protrude through the other side.
3. While continuing to support the weight
of the front assembly, slide the front assembly
down the rails until it meets the box.

the front assembly can continue to slide down the
rails and rest touching the seat base. Once clear of the
box underneath, place the front of the rails back down
onto the seat box.
5. Check again that the rails and front assembly are
balanced and stable before leaving.

Adjusting the Bottom Roller Wheels
2. Getting Started
Congratulations on completing the DX assembly process.
Please read the following final steps to set up before you use your DX for the first time.
The DX roller wheel settings are preset during the factory assembly, however if the rolling frame is too loose on
the rails or too tight, it is necessary to adjust the roller wheels before rowing for the first time.
Follow the procedure set out in the Maintenance section of the manual to tune the bottom roller adjustment
perfectly.

Setting the Front Leg Height
The DX rails are set to a 1 degree angle, sloping down from the front leg to the rear leg.
The front leg also has a height adjustable system that compensates for sloping and uneven floor surfaces.
Try and find a flat even floor surface to use your DX. Row a few strokes to get used to the rowing movement first,
then check if you are rolling closer to the front or rear seat end stops.
If you consistently hit or go closer to one end of the seat stops, stop and adjust the front leg height higher or lower.
Set the height so that when you are rowing, the seat has even travel in each direction on the seat track.
Follow the procedure below to correctly set the front leg height.
1. Loosen the locking knob at the lower front of
the leg.
3. Check that the seat has travel in both directions
without hitting the end stops.
4. Tighten the locking knob to lock height and
stabilise front leg.
2. Turn the height adjuster knob clockwise to lower,
or anticlowise for raise the front leg height..
