HOWTOADJUST 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
i
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.

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
53
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
42
below your navel. The Hip
Pad should be high enough
so it does not restrict leg I
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.
CAUTION: 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
23
24 Knot
your arms to
extend just
beyond your
hips. The arm cord length can be adjusted by retying
the knots inside the Handgrips (24).
You may select an elevation up to level ten. There is
an increase of two degrees per hole.
To adjust the elevation,
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. Repeat this
process on the other Leg (not shown).

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Before the console can be operated, two "AA" batter-
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-
ies, see assembly step 5 on page 5.
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it.
1. To turn on the power, press the reset button or sim-
ply begin striding.
If your pulse does not appear after four seconds,
make sure that the pulse monitor is plugged into the
console. In addition, make sure that the pulse moni-
tor is attached properly. It may be necessary to
reposition the pulse monitor a few times to find the
best position.
The pulse monitor is more accurate when used on
your left ear lobe and when you are standing still.
.
To reset the display,
press the reset button.
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about five min-
utes. If the ski exerciser is not used and the con-
sole button is not pressed, the power will turn off
automatically.

initslowestpossibleelevatedposition.Note:Make
sure the flywheel is not touching the floor.
2. Adjust the hip pad to hip level. The hip pad should
rest about one inch below your navel. It should be
high enough that it does not restrict leg movement
and low enough that it does not press against your
abdomen. Make sure the hip pad adjustment knobs
are tight; the hip pad is designed for you to push
against. Do not lean over it. There may be some
movement to the upright.
3. Hold the handlebars or hip pad for balance. Do not
lean forward. Keep your weight on your feet and
your back straight. Increase the leg resistance if
you slide away from the hip pad.
4. Begin to ski. Push your right foot back, then your
left; do not pull your right foot forward until the left
is pushing back. Do not bring either foot in front
of your body. Continue to move both feet in a
smooth walking motion. Start with short, smooth
strides. You will feel the leg resistance as you move
your foot backward. Let your heel rise naturally at
the back of your stride. Keep the balls of your feet
on the skis at all times. Note: There is no defined
ADD ARM SWINGS TO THE LEG MOTION
.
Continue your leg motion. Keep one hand on the
handlebar or the hip pad for balance. Swing the
other arm at your side; when your left leg is for-
ward, your left arm should swing back. Repeat this
same process with your other hand.
.
Try swinging both arms when you are comfortable
swinging each arm separately. Swing both arms
naturally. A full arm swing motion allows your hands
to extend just beyond your hips. Practice this
motion until it feels comfortable.
COMBINE THE ARM AND LEG MOTIONS
1. Set the arm resistance to a comfortable level.
Grasp the handgrips. Continue your leg motion.
.
Pull the handgrips through your natural arm swing.
When your right leg is forward, your right hand
should be back and when your left leg is forward,
your left hand should be back. Practice this motion
until it feels comfortable to you.
Below are some tips to help you coordinate the cross-
country skiing motion:
.
If coordinating the arm and leg motion is difficult,
concentrate on the leg motion only. Incorporate the
arm motion once you feel comfortable with the leg
motion. Do not bring your feet in front of your body
until you are comfortable with the motion.
2. When you incorporate the arm motion, try to swing
your arms naturally. Allow one arm to pull the other
forward. Keep the arm cord taught.
.
Keep your waist in contact with the hip pad at all
times to hold back your forward motion, tf you feel
like you are sliding away from the hip pad, increase
the leg resistance.
.
Resistance is felt only as you push your feet back-
ward, not as you pull forward. Always keep the
weight of your body on the ski you are pushing
backward. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your weight
over your feet, your shoulders back and your head
up. Find a focal point; this will help you keep your
head up and your back straight.

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.
CAUTION: The pulley will get hot during use. Avoid direct contact with the pulley immediate-
ly 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
35
Pulley. Drape both ends of the Arm
Cord over the hip pad. Make sure the
23
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.
11
Page 12
b. Roughen the surface of the resistance pad with 100-grit sandpaper. Oil the leather resistance
pad with one or two drops of light household oil. Spread the oil over the resistance pad.
c. Oil the 3/8" washers and the thrust washer if needed.
PROBLEM: The flywheel and/or the resistance strap offers no resistance.
SOLUTION: a. Check the routing of the resistance strap.
b. Make sure the flywheel is tight. Remove the "U" bolt cover from the flywheel (see page 9).
Evenly tighten the two 1/4" nuts located on the right side of the flywheel.
PROBLEM: The skis are slipping.
SOLUTION: a. Wipe off any excess oil.
b. Clean the bottom of the skis with a dry cloth or a small amount of mineral spirits or paint thinner.
c. Make sure that the flywheel is tight. Remove the "U" bolt cover from the flywheel (see page 9).
Evenly tighten the two 1/4" nuts located on the right side of the flywheel.
PROBLEM: The rollers are squeaking or sticking.
SOLUTION: See GENERAL LUBRICATION on page 10.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise
program, consult your physician. This is especial-
ly important for individuals over the age of 35 or
individuals with pre-existing health problems.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

105 MAX. FAT
9O FAT BURN
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below
your age. The three numbers are your "training zone."
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning; the middle number is the heart rate for
maximum fat burning; and the highest number is the
heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy, if
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
if your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three important parts: a
warm-up, training zone exercise, and a cooJ=down.
Warming up--Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate and circu-
lation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise--After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20
minutes.)
Cooling down--Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching. This will increase your flexibility and
will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. Five minutes of exercise, four
times a day, may be sufficient when you begin an
exercise program. Slowly increase your workout time
as your fitness level improves. After a few months of
regular exercise, you may complete up to five work=
outs each week, if desired. Find the best time of day
for your workouts, and then stick with it.
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
