HOW TO USE THE ARC SKIER

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE SKI PEDALS

To vary the Intens'dyof 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 cress-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 clockwise to remove any slack 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 vaded 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!9 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 Updght (26). Insert the Lock Pin into the storage hole.

PLUS

TO exercise,

hold both Upper

BedyArms(24,

25), step onto the SId Pedals

(33), and center your feet on the Pedals. The cor- rect form for

exercisingon the cross-coon-

try skier is simi-33 lar to the motion

of walking. Move your arms and legs forward and backward with a smooth, 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.

HOWTO USE THE UPPER BODYARMS IN THE STATIONARY POSITION

To use the Upper Body Arms (24, 25) in the stationary position, align the holes in the

Upper Body29 Arms with the

hole in the

Upright (26). insert the Lock

Pin (29) through all pads. Note: If

it is difficultto 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 Reststarv_ Knob (19) on the side of the cross-country skier (see the drawing above).

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 use the Upper BodyArms (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.
