with the Resistance Knob

 

(39) above the Pulley (35).

 

Turn the Knob clockwise to

 

increase the resistance, or

35

counterclockwise to

 

decrease the resistance.

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.

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

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.
