MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

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

CLEANING THE SKI EXERCISER

Wipe the ski exerciser with a clean, dry cloth after each workout to remove perspiration and dirt. A house- hold window cleaner may be used to clean the chrome and black metal surfaces.

Wipe the wood with a clean, dry cloth to remove per- spiration and dirt after each use. Use a wood furniture polish or wax to protect the wood finish and prevent drying.

If the bottoms of the skis become marked from contact with the drive rollers, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Use mineral spirits to remove stubborn marks. For a smooth gliding action, carefully rub paraffin wax only on the sides of the skis. NEVER polish or wax the bottoms 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 skis. These plates do not need to be replaced.

LUBRICATING THE RESISTANCE PAD

The leather resistance pad beneath the pulley has been oiled for quiet, smooth braking action. However, the pad will require re-oiling if it dries due to its sur- roundings. We recommend inspecting the resistance pad every three months.

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

2.See the inset

drawing. Inspect

the Thrust Washer

 

 

(37). Lightly oil the

 

 

Thrust Washer if it

is not greasy.

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 should be replaced. See the back of this man- ual for instructions on how to order replacement parts.

CARING 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 under 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 the flywheel; this will damage the resistance strap.

8. Slide the “U”

 

Bolt Cover (64)

to the right and

check the

 

tightness of

the M6 Nuts

(67) on the

 

right side of

 

the Flywheel

 

(54). If neces-

 

sary, tighten

 

the Nuts even-

 

ly with a wrench. CAUTION: Do not overtighten

the Nuts; this can break the “U” Bolt.
