Replacing the bungee on your Hybrid Series rower is a very simple task to perform. You’ll need the 5mm Allen Key included with your rower.
The process below is applicable to all Hybrid Series rower models.
Step 1
Stand the rower upright and unclip the bungee cord from the recoil belt.
Step 2
Lay your rower back down. Using the 5mm Allen Key, remove the 2 horizontal Joint Connector Nuts (JCNs) from the back of the Rear Leg. As you unscrew these JCNs, it will be necessary to put pressure on the bolts (on the inside of the rear leg) to be able to remove these completely.
Step 3
Remove the bungee assembly from the inside of the rear leg. Remove the 2 bolts that are in the plastic bungee assembly plate if you have not done so already.
Step 4
Position the new bungee assembly onto the rear leg. Replace the JCNs (on the outside of the leg) and the bolts (on the inside) and tighten.
You may find it necessary to put extra pressure on the bolt in order to completely tighten it. To do this, you can use another Allen key, or a screwdriver to help hold the bolt in place while you tighten the JCNs.
Note: The knot in the bungee cord may cause the plastic Bungee Assembly Plate lift away from the Rear Leg. As you tighten the bolts, the bungee knot will flatten a little so that the Bungee Plate will be flat against the wood.
Step 5
Stand the rower upright again and re-clip the bungee assembly and the recoil belt.
