HOW TO ADJUST THE SKI EXERCISER
HOW TO ADJUST 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 | 85 | |
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 | 39 | 88 | |
Cord (23) can be adjusted | |||
|
| ||
by turning the Resistance |
|
| |
Knob (39) on top of the |
|
| |
Pulley (35). Turn the Knob |
|
| |
clockwise to increase the | 35 |
| |
resistance. Turn the Knob |
| ||
|
| ||
counterclockwise to | 23 |
| |
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.
WARNING: 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).
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 | 53 | |
Knobs (41) on each side of | ||
| ||
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 | 41 | |
Pad should be high enough |
| |
so it does not restrict leg |
| |
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.
You may select an elevation up to level ten. There is an increase of about two degrees per hole.
To adjust the elevation, |
| |
loosen the Incline Knob |
| |
(93), insert the straight end | 93 | |
of a Leg Pin (74) completely | 2 | |
| ||
through the holes in the Leg |
| |
(76) and Leg Bracket (2). | 74 | |
The bent end of the Leg Pin | ||
| ||
should point toward the | 76 | |
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. Tighten the Incline Knob. Repeat this process on the other Leg (not shown).
