shoulder-width apart.
Drive the handles
downward by engaging
your abdominal muscles
and bending your knees.
Maintain the bend in
your arms to keep the
handles fairly close to
your face.

The SkiErg offers terrific exercise for the entire body. Each pull
engages the legs, arms, shoulders and core in a downwards
"crunch," using body weight to help accelerate the handles. Each
pull finishes by extending the arms down along the hips with
knees partly bent.
The SkiErg enables you to train with the double-pole motion that
is essential to both skate and classic skiing.
Classic skiing technique (alternating arms) is also possible.

Important Safety Notes

WARNING!
The safety level of the machine can be maintained only if it is
examined regularly for damage and wear. Replace defective
components immediately to ensure safety and performance or
keep machine out of use until repaired.
• Use of this machine with worn or weakened parts (pulleys,
cords, spools) may result in injury to the user. When in doubt
about the condition of any part, Concept2 strongly advises that
it be replaced immediately. Use only genuine Concept2 parts.
Use of other parts may result in injury or poor performance of
your machine.
• The SkiErg with optional floor stand must be used on a stable,
level surface.
• The wall-mounted SkiErg must be securely fixed to the wall at
the top and bottom brackets. Be sure that your mounting bolts
are going into a solid material such as wood or concrete, and
that you are using the proper hardware for the wall material.
• Do not twist or cross cords, and avoid pulling cords all the way
out to the point at which they stop.
• Do not release handles when they are in the pulled out
position. Bring handles back to the top position before
releasing them.
• Perform regular inspection and maintenance as recommended.
• Keep unsupervised children away from the SkiErg.
Classic Skiing Technique
(alternating arms)
Begin with one arm raised and
slightly bent.
Pull down with the top arm, while
gradually raising the lower arm.
Continue to alternate arm pulls,
keeping some bend in the pulling
arm, as it is a stronger position.
