Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the
cross-country skier. Keep liquids away from the con-
sole. Once every three months, apply a few drops of
light multi-purpose oil to the hubs of the pulleys at the
ends of the ski pedal strap.
CONSOLE
If the console does not function properly, or if the LCD
display becomes faint, the batteries should be
replaced. See INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE
CONSOLE on page 6 for instructions. Make sure that
the console wire is plugged fully into the console and
the reed switch wire. See assembly steps 7 and 8 on
page 5.
SKI PEDALS
If the ski pedals are difficult to move, the ski pedal
strap may be too tight. The tension should be
decreased. See ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE
SKI PEDAL STRAP on page 6 for instructions.
If the movement of the ski pedals becomes rough or
noisy, clean the ski rails and the ski pedal rollers with
a soft, dry cloth. Next, apply a non-oil-, non-petroleum
base silicone lubricant to the rails where the rollers
make contact. (We recommend Uni•Sport™ spray,
which can be ordered by calling our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
Lubricant is also available at most automotive and
hardware stores.) Apply lubricant at least once every
three months.
If the movement of the ski pedals is still rough, the
rollers may need to be replaced. See ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this
manual.
SKI POLES
If the ski poles squeak when they are moved, a small
amount of grease may be applied to the four resis-
tance pads on each ski pole housing. See assembly
steps 1 to 3 on page 4 to see how to remove the ski
pole housings.
If the ski poles have little resistance, even when the
resistance dial is turned clockwise, the resistance
pads should be replaced. See ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover.
