MAINTENANCE

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.
A minimal amount of periodic maintenance
will assure proper function and prolong the
life of your SkiErg. The PM will keep track of
accumulated, or total, meters. This will help
you determine when to perform maintenance
procedures. To view total meters on the PM
push Main Menu/More Options/Utilities/

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.
Important! Each cord is of a specific type and should be
replaced with the appropriate Concept2 replacement cord
if significant wear or damage is observed.
Cord Inspection:
1. The handle cords can be easily inspected by pulling
the handles all the way out and visually checking for
wear.
2. Inspect the cords
working inside the
vertical frame. Start by
removing the lower right
side cover by removing 8
screws, using the 6 lobe
driver provided with your
SkiErg. See illustration.
Once the cover is
removed, all cords and
pulleys will be visible.
3. Have a helper slowly
pull the handles all the
way out and observe the
condition of the handle
cords and the bungee cord. You should be able to see
the entire working length of all cords.
A Description of Cord Wear/Damage:
• The cords consist of a solid braid (not a covering
over inner fibers). Over time the surface will show
"fuzzing." If this "fuzzing" becomes worse in a
localized spot on the cord it is time to replace the
cord. See photo. We
recommend replacing
both cords at the
same time.
• The bungee cord
consists of elastic
fibers encased in a
braided covering.
Some "fuzzing"
of the covering is
normal, but once
the white fibers are
exposed the cord
should be replaced
immediately.
