HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE SKIS
To vary the intensity of your exercise, you can change
your exercise pace, use the arm cord (see the section
below), or adjust the resistance of the skis. CAUTION:
Always dismount the ski exerciser before adjust-
ing the resistance of the skis.
To increase the resistance
of the skis, slide the
Resistance Clamp (85) to a
higher position on the
Upright (16). To decrease
the resistance, slide the
Resistance Clamp to a
lower position.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE ARM
CORD
The resistance of the Arm
Cord (23) can be adjusted
with the Resistance Knob
(39) above the Pulley (35).
Turn the Knob clockwise to
increase the resistance, or
counterclockwise to
decrease the resistance.
Note: As you turn the
Resistance Knob, the num-
bered Resistance Scale
Decal (88) will protrude through the Knob to show the
resistance setting.
WARNING:
The Pulley (35) will get hot
during use. Avoid touching the Pulley immediately
after use.
HOW TO ADJUST THE LENGTH OF THE ARM CORD
When the Arm
Cord (23) is
adjusted to the
proper length,
your arms
should extend
just behind your
hips when you
use the Arm Cord. To adjust the length of the Arm
Cord, retie the knot inside each Handgrip (24).
For greater
adjustments
in the length
of the Arm
Cord (23),
add one loop
of the Arm
Cord around
the pulley as
shown, or remove one loop from the pulley.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE HIP PAD
Loosen the Adjustment
Knob (41) on each side of
the Hip Pad Slide (42), and
slide the Hip Pad Slide to
the desired position. The
Hip Pad (53) should be at
hip level, about one inch
below your navel. The Hip
Pad should be high
enough that it does not
restrict leg movement, and
low enough that it does not press against your
abdomen. Firmly retighten both Adjustment Knobs.
HOW TO ADJUST THE ELEVATION OF THE SKI
EXERCISER
Increasing the elevation of the ski exerciser will simu-
late uphill skiing. This will further develop the quadri-
ceps muscles on the fronts of your thighs, elevate your
heart rate more quickly, and provide a more intense
workout.
To adjust the elevation,
first loosen the Incline
Knob (93) in front of one
of the Legs (76). Insert the
straight end of a Leg Pin
(74) into the hole in the
Leg Bracket (2) and one of
the holes in the Leg. Make
sure that the Leg Pin
goes completely through
the holes and that the
bent end of the Leg Pin points toward the floor.
Rotate the Leg Pin to secure it around the Leg.
Retighten the Incline Knob.
Repeat this process with the other Leg (not shown).
Make sure that both Legs are at the same height.
