DAMPER DOOR
<RXFDQDGMXVWWKHDLUÀRZUHVLVWDQFHE\FKDQJLQJWKHRSHQLQJRIWKH
damper door on the front of your Vasa Ergometer. The lowest setting “1”
(door fully closed) provides the least resistance and setting “7” (door fully
open) provides the most resistance. Setting #1 is similar to going WITH
the current and Setting #7 is similar to going AGAINST a strong current.
To adjust the damper door, pull/push the bottom of damper door to the
desired setting (1-7) indicated in the window on the top of the door
(Figure A). The ratchet hinge will keep the damper door in place.
OPTIONAL: The blue fastpin locks the damper door at the chosen setting
(Figure B). This is optional as the damper door will not move when the
fastpin is not inserted.
