HOW то USE THE ARC SKIER PLUS
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE SKI
PEDALS
.
To vary the intensity of your exercise, the resistance
of the ski pedals can be adjusted. The resistance is
controlled with the Resistance Knob (41) at the back
of the cross-country skier. CAUTION: Always dis­
mount the cross-country skier before adjusting
the resistance of the ski pedals.
To increase the
resistance of
the ski pedals,
turn the
Resistance
Knob (41)
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn
the Knob coun­
terclockwise.
Note: The
cords connecting the ski pedals may stretch slightly
when the cross-country skier is first used. If neces­
sary, turn the Knob clockwnse to remove any stack
from the cords. If there is slack in the cords, the cords
may slip off the pulleys at the ends of the ski rails.
The intensity of your exercise can also be varied by
using the upper body arms (see the section below), or
by changing the pace of your exercise.
HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS IN THE
DUAL-MOTION POSITION
The Upper
Body Arms
(24,25) can be
used in either
the dual- '
motion position
or the station­
ary position. To
use the Upper
Body Arms in
the dual­
motion posi­
tion, remove
the Lock Pin (29) from the Upper Body Arms and the
Upright (26). Insert the Lock Pin into the storage hole.
The resistance of the Upper Body Arms (24, 25) can
be adjusted with the Resistance Dial (19) on the side
of the cross-cguntry skier (see the drawing above). To
increase the resistance, turn the Dial clockwise; to de­
crease the resistance, turn the Dial counterclockwise..
To exerdse,
hold both Upper
Body Arms (24,
25), step onto
the SU Pedals
(33), and center
your feet on the
Pedals- The cor­
rect form for
exerddngon
the cross-coun­
try skier is simi­
lar to the motion
-of walking. Move
your anms and
legs fonvard and
backward
a
smoo№, continu­
ous motion. Be
sure to keep
your back straight and your knees bent slightly.
For effective aerobic exercise, short, rapid strides at
low resistance are recommended. To strengthen the
muscles, long, slow strides at higher resistance are
recommended.
HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS IN THE
STATIONARY POSITION
To use the
Upper Body
Arms (24,25) in
the stafionary
position, align
the holes in the
Upper Body
Arms with the
hole in the
Upright (26).
insert the Lock
Pin (29) through
all parts. Note: If
it is difficult to insert the Lock Pin, do not hit the Lock
Pin. Twist the Upper Body Arms slightly in order to
align the holes.
Next, tighten the Resistance Knob (19) on the side of
the cross-country skier (see the drawing above).
To use the Upprer Bcxly Arms (24,25) in the stationary
position, exercise as described at the top of this page,
but hold the Upper Body Arms for support and use
only your legs.
