TROUBLESHOOTING

Most ski exerciser problems can be solved by
following the steps below. Find the symptom that
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assis-
tance is needed, please see the front cover of this
manual.
SYMPTOM: The console does not function
properly.
a. Make sure that both ends of the console wire
are fully plugged in (see assembly step 6 on
page 7).
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 7 for
replacement instructions.
SYMPTOM: The arm cords are tangled.
WARNING:
hot during use. Avoid touching the pulley
immediately after use.
a. Detach the handgrips by untying the knots inside of
the handgrips and removing the M6 Washers (25)
(see HOW TO ADJUST THE ARM CORD LENGTH
on page 8).
Take the ends of the Arm Cord (23) out of the Small
Pulleys (28) and unwind the Arm Cord from the
Pulley (35). Notice how the Arm Cord goes into the
Pulley. Drape both ends of the Arm Cord over the
hip pad. Make sure that the ends of the Arm Cord
are even.

b. Locate cord A. Wrap it counterclockwise around the
Pulley (35) until there is no more 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 cord B
around the Pulley (35).
d. Feed the end of cord B from right to left through
the left Small Pulley (28). Pull cord B until the end
of cord B is even with the end of cord A. With a
cord in each hand, work the Arm Cord (23) back
and forth until it is wrapped evenly around the
Pulley (35).
e. To reattach each handgrip, thread the Arm Cord
(23) into the small hole in the handgrip, slide an M6
Washer (25) onto the Arm Cord, and tie a figure-
eight knot as shown near the end of the Arm Cord.
Note: To adjust the length of the Arm Cord (23),
see HOW TO ADJUST THE ARM CORD LENGTH
on page 8.
SYMPTOM: The arm cord assembly makes a chat-
tering or screeching sound or the resistance knob
loosens.
a. Check the order of the parts in the pulley assem-
bly, and confirm that all parts are present (see the
EXPLODED DRAWING on page 19). The parts
from the Pulley (35) to the Resistance Knob (39)
should be as follows: M10 Washer (36), Thrust
28
Washer (37), M10 Washer (36), and Spring (38).
A
b. Roughen the top of the leather resistance pad with
100-grit sandpaper. Oil the resistance pad with one
or two drops of light household oil. Spread the oil
over the resistance pad.
c. Oil the M10 Washers (36) and the Thrust Washer
(37) if needed.
