T ROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most ski exerciser problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the problem that applies,
and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service
Department.
PROBLEM: The console does not function properly.
SOLUTION: a. Make sure the console wire is fully plugged in on both ends (see step 6 on page 5).
b. If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the batteries should be
replaced. See assembly step 5 on page 5 for installation instructions.
PROBLEM: The arm cords are tangled.
WARNING:
The pulley will get hot during use. Avoid direct contact with the pul-
ley immediately after use.
SOLUTION: a. Detach the handgrips by untying the
knot and removing the 1/4” washer
inside the handgrips (see page 6). Take
the Arm Cord (23) out of the Small
Pulleys (28) and unwind it from the
Pulley (35). Notice how it goes into the
Pulley. Drape both ends of the Arm
Cord over the hip pad. Make sure the
ends of the Arm Cords are even.
b. Locate cord “A.” Wrap it counterclockwise around the Pulley until you have no more Arm Cord to
wind. Do not be concerned if it looks tangled; it will smooth out later.
c. Pass the end of cord “A” from left to right through the right Small Pulley (28). Pull cord “A” to
wrap the other section of the Arm Cord (cord “B”) around the Pulley.
d. Feed the end of cord “B” from right to left through the left Small Pulley (28). Pull cord “B” until
the end of the Arm Cord is even with cord “A.” With an Arm Cord end in each hand, work the
arm exerciser back and forth until the Arm Cord lies smoothly.
e. To reattach each handgrip, thread the arm cord
through the hole in the handgrip from top to inside.
Slip a 1/4” washer onto the arm cord and tie a figure-
eight knot as shown at the right near the arm cord
end.
Note: The arm cord length can be adjusted by retying the knots inside the handgrips. For greater
adjustments in the cord length, one loop of cord can be added to or removed from the pulley. See
page 6. Proper arm cord length allows your arms to extend just beyond your hips.
PROBLEM: The arm cord assembly is chattering or making a screeching sound or the arm resistance
knob loosens.
SOLUTION: a. Check the order of the pulley assembly. Confirm that all parts are present. The assembly from
the pulley to the knob should be as follows: 3/8” washer, thrust washer, 3/8” washer, spring and
resistance knob.
