1. Product Overview
The Ergtab Chain Lubrication Handle is an accessory designed to simplify the maintenance and storage of your Concept2 rowing machine. It securely holds the rower's handle in a fully extended position, which is crucial for easy and safe chain lubrication. This prevents the handle from retracting unexpectedly during maintenance. Additionally, it offers a practical storage solution, keeping the handle clear of the moving seat when the rower is not in use.
2. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly attach and use your Ergtab Chain Lubrication Handle:
- Identify Attachment Point: Locate the front section of your Concept2 rower's monorail, where the chain exits the flywheel housing.
- Position the Ergtab: Place the Ergtab handle support onto the monorail. Ensure it sits firmly and does not obstruct any moving parts of the rower.
- Secure the Handle: Extend the rower's handle fully forward. Insert the rower's handle into the Ergtab support. The Ergtab is designed to hold the handle in this extended position, preventing it from snapping back.

3. Operating Instructions
The Ergtab Chain Lubrication Handle serves two primary functions:
3.1. For Chain Lubrication
Once the Ergtab is installed and holding the rower handle in its fully extended position (as shown in Image 2.1), you can proceed with lubricating the chain. The secure hold ensures the chain remains taut and accessible, making the lubrication process safer and more efficient. Refer to your Concept2 rower's official manual for specific chain lubrication procedures and recommended lubricants.
3.2. For Storage
When your rowing session is complete and the rower is not in use, the Ergtab can be utilized to store the handle conveniently. Position the Ergtab on the side of the rower's frame, away from the monorail. This keeps the handle elevated and prevents it from interfering with the moving seat or resting on the floor, contributing to a tidier workout space.

4. Maintenance
The Ergtab Chain Lubrication Handle is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the Ergtab with a damp cloth as needed to remove dust, dirt, or lubricant residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the Ergtab for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure it remains structurally sound to provide a secure hold.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Ergtab Chain Lubrication Handle, consider the following:
- Handle Not Secure: If the rower handle does not stay securely in place, ensure the Ergtab is correctly positioned on the monorail and fully engaged with the rower's handle. Verify that the Ergtab is compatible with your specific Concept2 rower model.
- Interference with Seat: If the Ergtab interferes with the moving seat during storage, adjust its position on the side of the rower frame until it is clear of the seat's path.
