When your pulse is detected (after approximately  
four seconds), the small heart in the right-hand cor-  
ner of the pulse display will flash and your pulse will  
be displayed.  
WARNING:  
The pulse monitor is not  
a medical device. Various factors, including the  
user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart  
rate readings. The pulse monitor is intended only  
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends  
in general.  
• Time—This mode displays the amount of time that  
you have exercised.  
• Speed—This mode displays your pace, in miles per  
hour.  
If your pulse does not appear after four seconds,  
make sure that the pulse monitor is plugged into the  
console. In addition, make sure that the pulse moni-  
tor is attached properly. It may be necessary to  
reposition the pulse monitor a few times to find the  
best position.  
• Distance—This mode displays the total number of  
strides you have completed, in miles per hour.  
• Calories—This mode displays the approximate  
number of calories you have burned.  
The pulse monitor is more accurate when used on  
your left ear lobe and when you are standing still.  
• Pulse—This mode displays your pulse in beats per  
minute when the pulse monitor is worn.  
3. To reset the display,  
press the reset button.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
Before the console can be operated, two “AA” batter-  
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-  
ies, see assembly step 5 on page 5.  
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE  
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about five min-  
utes. If the ski exerciser is not used and the con-  
sole button is not pressed, the power will turn off

1. Continue your leg motion. Keep one hand on the  
handlebar or the hip pad for balance. Swing the  
other arm at your side; when your left leg is for-  
ward, your left arm should swing back. Repeat this  
same process with your other hand.

2. Pull the handgrips through your natural arm swing.  
When your right leg is forward, your right hand  
should be back and when your left leg is forward,  
your left hand should be back. Practice this motion  
until it feels comfortable to you.  
Note: See page 6 for steps 1, 2, and 3.  
1. Set the leg resistance and adjust the elevation.  
Beginners may prefer to start with the ski exerciser  
in its lowest possible elevated position. Note: Make  
sure the flywheel is not touching the floor.  
Below are some tips to help you coordinate the cross-  
country skiing motion:  
2. Adjust the hip pad to hip level. The hip pad should  
rest about one inch below your navel. It should be  
high enough that it does not restrict leg movement  
and low enough that it does not press against your  
abdomen. Make sure the hip pad adjustment knobs  
are tight; the hip pad is designed for you to push  
against. Do not lean over it. There may be some  
movement to the upright.  
1. If coordinating the arm and leg motion is difficult,  
concentrate on the leg motion only. Incorporate the  
arm motion once you feel comfortable with the leg  
motion. Do not bring your feet in front of your body  
until you are comfortable with the motion.  
2. When you incorporate the arm motion, try to swing  
your arms naturally. Allow one arm to pull the other  
forward. Keep the arm cord taught.  
3. Hold the handlebars or hip pad for balance. Do not  
lean forward. Keep your weight on your feet and  
your back straight. Increase the leg resistance if  
you slide away from the hip pad.  
3. Keep your waist in contact with the hip pad at all  
times to hold back your forward motion. If you feel  
like you are sliding away from the hip pad, increase  
the leg resistance.  
4. Begin to ski. Push your right foot back, then your  
left; do not pull your right foot forward until the left  
is pushing back. Do not bring either foot in front  
of your body. Continue to move both feet in a  
smooth walking motion. Start with short, smooth  
strides. You will feel the leg resistance as you move  
your foot backward. Let your heel rise naturally at  
the back of your stride. Keep the balls of your feet  
on the skis at all times. Note: There is no defined  
4. Resistance is felt only as you push your feet back-  
ward, not as you pull forward. Always keep the  
weight of your body on the ski you are pushing  
backward. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your weight  
over your feet, your shoulders back and your head  
up. Find a focal point; this will help you keep your  
head up and your back straight.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the ski  
exerciser.  
4. Wipe any excess oil away from the area around the  
Resistance Pad. Tighten the Resistance Knob.  
CLEANING THE SKI EXERCISER  
Inspect the bottom of the Pulley. If the resistance disk  
(located above the Resistance Pad) has grooves worn  
into it, it may be necessary to replace it. See the back  
of this manual for instructions on how to order replace-  
ment parts.  
Wipe your ski exerciser with a clean, dry cloth after  
each workout to remove perspiration and dirt. Any  
household window cleaner may be used to clean the  
chrome and black metal surfaces after each use.  
CARE FOR THE RESISTANCE STRAP AND  
FLYWHEEL  
Wipe the wood with a clean, dry cloth to remove per-  
spiration and dirt after each use. Use any wood furni-  
ture polish or wax to protect the wood finish and pre-  
vent drying.  
Resistance strap and flywheel maintenance should be  
performed once a month at the same time. Follow the  
steps below.  
The bottoms of the skis may become marked from  
contact with the drive rollers. Wipe them with a clean,  
dry cloth. Mineral spirits will lift stubborn marks. For a  
smooth glide while skiing, carefully rub paraffin wax  
only on the sides of the skis. NEVER polish or wax  
the undersides of the skis. The skid plates built into  
the sides of the skis are designed to wear down and  
leave a light coating on the sides of the wood. These  
plates do not need to be replaced.  
1. Place a cloth or a piece of plastic underneath the  
ski exerciser to protect your floor.  
2. Set the ski resistance to the lowest setting.  
3. Slide the resistance strap off the side of the fly-  
wheel.  
4. Wipe the surface of the flywheel with a clean cloth  
dampened with rubbing alcohol.  
LUBRICATION OF THE RESISTANCE PAD  
The leather resistance pad on your arm exerciser has  
been oiled to allow for quiet, smooth braking action.  
However, the pad will require re-oiling if it dries due to  
its surroundings. We recommend inspecting the resis-  
tance pad every three months.  
5. Check the groove of the flywheel for any rust or  
corrosion.  
6. Use fine to very fine steel wool to spot rub any rust  
or corrosion. Clean the entire flywheel with steel  
wool if necessary.  
1. Place a cloth or a piece of plastic underneath the  
ski exerciser to protect your floor.  
7. Wipe the flywheel with a clean, dry cloth to remove  
any residue. NEVER place oil between the resis-  
tance strap and flywheel. This will damage the  
resistance strap.  
2. See the inset  
drawing. Inspect  
the Thrust Washer

TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
Most ski exerciser problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the problem that applies,  
and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service  
Department.  
PROBLEM: The console does not function properly.  
SOLUTION: a. Make sure the console wire is fully plugged in on both ends (see step 6 on page 5).  
b. If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the batteries should be  
replaced. See assembly step 5 on page 5 for installation instructions.  
PROBLEM: The arm cords are tangled.  
WARNING:  
The pulley will get hot during use. Avoid direct contact with the pul-  
ley immediately after use.  
SOLUTION: a. Detach the handgrips by untying the  
knot and removing the 1/4” washer  
inside the handgrips (see page 6). Take  
the Arm Cord (23) out of the Small  
Pulleys (28) and unwind it from the  
Pulley (35). Notice how it goes into the  
Pulley. Drape both ends of the Arm  
Cord over the hip pad. Make sure the  
ends of the Arm Cords are even.

b. Locate cord “A.” Wrap it counterclockwise around the Pulley until you have no more Arm Cord to  
wind. Do not be concerned if it looks tangled; it will smooth out later.  
c. Pass the end of cord “A” from left to right through the right Small Pulley (28). Pull cord “A” to  
wrap the other section of the Arm Cord (cord “B”) around the Pulley.  
d. Feed the end of cord “B” from right to left through the left Small Pulley (28). Pull cord “B” until  
the end of the Arm Cord is even with cord “A.” With an Arm Cord end in each hand, work the  
arm exerciser back and forth until the Arm Cord lies smoothly.  
e. To reattach each handgrip, thread the arm cord  
through the hole in the handgrip from top to inside.  
Slip a 1/4” washer onto the arm cord and tie a figure-  
eight knot as shown at the right near the arm cord  
end.  
Note: The arm cord length can be adjusted by retying the knots inside the handgrips. For greater  
adjustments in the cord length, one loop of cord can be added to or removed from the pulley. See  
page 6. Proper arm cord length allows your arms to extend just beyond your hips.  
PROBLEM: The arm cord assembly is chattering or making a screeching sound or the arm resistance  
knob loosens.  
SOLUTION: a. Check the order of the pulley assembly. Confirm that all parts are present. The assembly from  
the pulley to the knob should be as follows: 3/8” washer, thrust washer, 3/8” washer, spring and  
resistance knob.

b. Roughen the surface of the resistance pad with 100-grit sandpaper. Oil the leather resistance  
pad with one or two drops of light household oil. Spread the oil over the resistance pad.  
c. Oil the 3/8” washers and the thrust washer if needed.  
PROBLEM: The flywheel and/or the resistance strap offers no resistance.  
SOLUTION: a. Check the routing of the resistance strap.  
b. Make sure the flywheel is tight. Remove the “U” bolt cover from the flywheel (see page 9).  
Evenly tighten the two 1/4” nuts located on the right side of the flywheel.  
PROBLEM: The skis are slipping.  
SOLUTION: a. Wipe off any excess oil.  
b. Clean the bottom of the skis with a dry cloth or a small amount of mineral spirits or paint thinner.  
c. Make sure that the flywheel is tight. Remove the “U” bolt cover from the flywheel (see page 9).  
Evenly tighten the two 1/4” nuts located on the right side of the flywheel.  
PROBLEM: The rollers are squeaking or sticking.  
SOLUTION: See GENERAL LUBRICATION on page 10.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-  
ber in your training zone as you exercise.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or  
Aerobic Exercise  
any exercise program, consult your physician.  
This is especially important for individuals over  
the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing  
health problems.  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include three important parts: a  
warm-up, training zone exercise, and a cool-down.  
AGE  
Warming up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up  
increases your body temperature, heart rate and circu-  
lation in preparation for exercise.  
AEROBIC  
MAX. FAT  
Training zone exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.)  
b.p.m.  
FAT BURN  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below  
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the heart rate for  
maximum fat burning; and the highest number is the  
heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
Cooling down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching. This will increase your flexibility and  
will help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. Five minutes of exercise, four  
times a day, may be sufficient when you begin an  
exercise program. Slowly increase your workout time  
as your fitness level improves. After a few months of  
regular exercise, you may complete up to five work-  
outs each week, if desired. Find the best time of day  
for your workouts, and then stick with it.  
Burning Fat  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If  
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-  
ber in your training zone as you exercise.  
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a  
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
