HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE ARM CORD
The resistance of the Arm | 39 88 | |
Cord (23) can be adjusted | ||
with the Resistance Knob |
| |
(39) above the Pulley (35). |
| |
Turn the Knob clockwise to |
| |
increase the resistance, or | 35 | |
counterclockwise to | ||
| ||
decrease the resistance. | 23 | |
Note: As you turn the | ||
| ||
Resistance Knob, the num- |
| |
bered Resistance Scale |
| |
Decal (88) will protrude through the Knob to show the | ||
resistance setting. |
| |
WARNING: The Pulley (35) will get hot during use. Avoid touching the Pulley immediately after use.
HOW TO ADJUST THE LENGTH OF THE ARM CORD
When the Arm |

|
|
| |
adjusted to the |
|
|
| |
proper length, | 23 |
|
| |
your arms | 24 | Knot | ||

| 42 | |
below your navel. The Hip | 41 | ||

Pad should be high |
|

enough that it does not |
|
| |
restrict leg movement, and |
|
| |
low enough that it does not press against your | |||
abdomen. Firmly retighten both Adjustment Knobs. | |||
HOW TO ADJUST THE ELEVATION OF THE SKI EXERCISER
Increasing the elevation of the ski exerciser will simu- late uphill skiing. This will further develop the quadri- ceps muscles on the fronts of your thighs, elevate your heart rate more quickly, and provide a more intense workout.
To adjust the elevation, |
| |
first loosen the Incline | 76 | |
Knob (93) in front of one | 93 | |
of the Legs (76). Insert the | ||
straight end of a Leg Pin |
| |
(74) into the hole in the | 2 | |
Leg Bracket (2) and one of | ||
74 | ||
the holes in the Leg. Make | ||
| ||
sure that the Leg Pin |
| |
goes completely through |
|
the holes and that the
bent end of the Leg Pin points toward the floor. Rotate the Leg Pin to secure it around the Leg. Retighten the Incline Knob.
Repeat this process with the other Leg (not shown).
Make sure that both Legs are at the same height.
