H OW TO A DJUST THE S KI E XERCISER
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE SKIS
To vary the intensity of your exercise, the amount of
leg resistance can easily be adjusted by moving the
resistance clamp on the upright. CAUTION: Always
dismount the ski exerciser before adjusting the
resistance of the skis.
To increase the resistance
of the skis, raise the
Resistance Clamp (85).
Decrease the resistance by
lowering the Resistance
Clamp.
The intensity of your exer-
cise can also be varied by
using the arm cords (see
the section below), or by
changing the pace of your exercise.
HOW TO ADJUST THE ARM CORD RESISTANCE
The resistance of the Arm
Cord (23) can be adjusted
by turning the Resistance
Knob (39) on top of the
Pulley (35). Turn the Knob
clockwise to increase the
resistance. Turn the Knob
counterclockwise to
decrease the resistance.
Note: As you turn the
Resistance Knob to
increase the resistance, the numbered Resistance
Scale Decal (88) will protrude through the Knob to
show the resistance settings.
WARNING:
The Pulley (35) will get hot
during use. Avoid direct contact with the Pulley
immediately after use.
ADJUST THE ARM CORD LENGTH
The proper
Arm Cord
(23) length
should allow
your arms to
extend just
beyond your
hips. The arm cord length can be adjusted by retying
the knots inside the Handgrips (24).
For greater
adjustments
in the cord
length, one
loop of the
cord can be
added to or
removed
from the pul-
ley as shown at the right.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE HIP PAD
Loosen the Adjustment
Knobs (41) on each side of
the Hip Pad Slide (42).
Move the Hip Pad Slide to
the desired position. The
Hip Pad (53) should rest at
hip level, about one inch
below your navel. The Hip
Pad should be high enough
so it does not restrict leg
movement and low enough
so it does not press against your abdomen.
Tighten the Adjustment Knobs (41) to hold the Hip Pad
(53) in position. Make sure both Knobs are secure.
HOW TO ADJUST THE ELEVATION OF THE SKI
EXERCISER
Increasing the elevation and the leg resistance will
simulate skiing uphill. This will further develop the
quadriceps muscle group in the front of your thighs,
elevate your heart rate more quickly and provide you
with an even more intense workout.
You may select an elevation up to level ten. There is
an increase of about two degrees per hole.
To adjust the elevation,
loosen the Incline Knob
(93), insert the straight end
of a Leg Pin (74) completely
through the holes in the Leg
(76) and Leg Bracket (2).
The bent end of the Leg Pin
should point toward the
floor as shown. Make sure
that the Leg Pin goes
completely through the
holes. Rotate the bent end of the Leg Pin to secure it
in place. Tighten the Incline Knob. Repeat this process
on the other Leg (not shown).
