On a Regular Basis, Untwist the Cords
When you grasp the handles to use your SkiErg, you may be inadvertently twisting
the cords, much like what would happen to the cord on a telephone handset. Over
time, this may cause the cords to twist around each other inside the SkiErg resulting
in a lumpy feeling when you pull on the handles. This may cause premature wear of
the cord.
To avoid this, check the cords regularly and untwist them as needed. You will be able
to see the twist in the cord; simply untwist by turning the handle in the opposite
direction to the twist.
Periodically untwist the cords; it will be easier if you have another person help you.
1. Pull out both handles as far as they go.
2. Hold the cords at the top bracket allowing the handles to dangle and spin freely.
3. Run your hand down the length of each cord to untwist the cord.
4. Return the handles to the top position.
5. Repeat the process starting at step 1 at least two times.
Clean Grips
Use a mild soap or cleaning product to clean the grips every few workouts as needed.
Every 500,000 meters (approximately 50 hours of use).
Inspect the Cords
There are two separate cords and two bungee cords to inspect.
lmportant! Each cord is of a specific type and should be replaced with the appropriate
replacement cord.
