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.
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 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.
