Maintenance and Storage

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the ski exerciser.

CLEANING THE SKI EXERCISER

Wipe your ski exerciser with a clean, dry cloth after each workout to remove perspiration and dirt. Any household window cleaner may be used to clean the chrome and black metal surfaces after each use.

Wipe the wood with a clean, dry cloth to remove per- spiration and dirt after each use. Use any wood furni- ture polish or wax to protect the wood finish and pre- vent drying.

The bottoms of the skis may become marked from contact with the drive rollers. Wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Mineral spirits will lift stubborn marks. For a smooth glide while skiing, carefully rub paraffin wax only on the sides of the skis. NEVER polish or wax the undersides of the skis. The skid plates built into the sides of the skis are designed to wear down and leave a light coating on the sides of the wood. These plates do not need to be replaced.

LUBRICATION OF THE RESISTANCE PAD

The leather resistance pad on your arm exerciser has been oiled to allow for quiet, smooth braking action. However, the pad will require re-oiling if it dries due to its surroundings. We recommend inspecting the resis- tance pad every three months.

1.Place a cloth or a piece of plastic underneath the ski exerciser to protect your floor.

2.See the inset

drawing. Inspect		39
the Thrust Washer
(37). Lightly oil the

do not remove the
Resistance Knob
(39). Lift the
Pulley (35) and

roughen the surface of the leather Resistance Pad

(32)with 100-grit sandpaper or a file.

3.Spread one or two drops of light household oil on the Resistance Pad. DO NOT OVER-OIL!Excess oil may spray out when the Pulley is spinning.

Place a pencil between the Pulley and the Resistance Pad and let the oil absorb overnight.

4.Wipe any excess oil away from the area around the Resistance Pad. Tighten the Resistance Knob.

Inspect the bottom of the Pulley. If the resistance disk (located above the Resistance Pad) has grooves worn into it, it may be necessary to replace it. See the back of this manual for instructions on how to order replace- ment parts.

CARE FOR THE RESISTANCE STRAP AND FLYWHEEL

Resistance strap and flywheel maintenance should be performed once a month at the same time. Follow the steps below.

1.Place a cloth or a piece of plastic underneath the ski exerciser to protect your floor.

2.Set the ski resistance to the lowest setting.

3.Slide the resistance strap off the side of the fly- wheel.

4.Wipe the surface of the flywheel with a clean cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.

5.Check the groove of the flywheel for any rust or corrosion.

6.Use fine to very fine steel wool to spot rub any rust or corrosion. Clean the entire flywheel with steel wool if necessary.

7.Wipe the flywheel with a clean, dry cloth to remove any residue. NEVER place oil between the resis- tance strap and flywheel. This will damage the resistance strap.
