... Lowest Erg Operating Temps?

[[old] mbz]

I like my erg outside in winter.<br />I'm concerned about the rubber parts that retract the chain - and may be the rolls underneath the seat. How low can the temp be before anything bad happens?<br />Thanks -<br />Boris

Boris,<br />I've rowed my machine at reduced temperatures. At first the chain would not retract very quickly and the chain skipped if I pulled too hard, but after a few minutes these symptoms abated enough to allow me to row normally. The bungee will not be damaged by exposure to the cold, nor will the seat rollers. <br />Damage can occur to the LCD in the monitor if it is operated below 32F or stored below -4F. JonW

Prefer 65F or higher.
