ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE SKI PEDAL

STRAP

Before using the cross-country skier, the tension of

the ski pedal strap should be adjusted. If the tension

is too low, the ski pedal strap may slip off the pulleys.

If the tension is too high, the strap and other parts

may wear excessively.

To adjust the

tension of the

ski pedal strap,

first remove

the strap knob

from the ski

pedal. Next,

slide off the

two metal

brackets. To

tighten the

strap, overlap

the metal brackets so that the ends of the strap are

closer together. Slide the metal brackets back onto

the ski pedal. Tighten the strap knob onto the ski

pedal, making sure that the metal brackets remain

parallel to each other as you tighten the knob.

CHANGING THE RESISTANCE OF THE SKI POLES

The intensity of your exercise can be varied by chang-

ing the resistance of the ski poles. The resistance is

controlled with the resistance dial at the lower end of

the right ski pole.

To increase the

resistance of

the ski poles,

turn the resis-

tance dial

clockwise; to

decrease the

resistance, turn

the dial coun-

terclockwise.

CHANGING THE INCLINE OF THE SKI RAILS

Another way to tailor the intensity of your exercise is

to change the incline of the ski rails. There are three

incline levels.

For a high or

medium incline

level, first tip

the cross-coun-

try skier onto

its side. Insert

the incline legs

into the bottom

of the front sta-

bilizer. The

incline level will

differ depending on which ends of the incline legs are

inserted. Set the cross-country skier upright. For a low

incline level, insert the incline legs into the top of the

front stabilizer, with the front stabilizer resting on the

floor.

EXERCISING ON THE CROSS-COUNTRY SKIER

Hold both ski poles firmly. Step onto the ski pedals

and center your feet on the pedals. The correct form

for using the cross-country skier is similar to the

motion of walking. Move your arms and legs forward

and backward with a smooth motion. Keep your back

straight and your knees bent slightly. For effective aer-

obic exercise, short, rapid strides at low resistance

are recommended. To strengthen the muscles, long,

slow strides at medium resistance are recommended.

For a lower-body workout, hold the handle on the

upright and exercise using only your legs.

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE CONSOLE

The console requires two "AA" batteries (not

included); alkaline batteries are recommended. Slide

off the battery cover as shown below and carefully

remove the battery clip. Find the markings inside the

battery clip showing which direction the batteries must

be turned.

Press two

"AA" batteries

into the bat-

tery clip.

Insert the bat-

tery clip into

the console

and slide on

the battery

cover.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE MODES

The console features five modes to provide continu-

ous exercise feedback. The five modes are described

below.

SPEED—Displays your current speed, in strides per

minute.

TIME—Displays the elapsed time. Note: If you stop

exercising for ten seconds or longer, the TIME mode

will pause until you resume.

DISTANCE—Displays the total number of strides you

have completed.

CALORIES—Displays the approximate number of

Calories you have burned. Note: The actual number

of Calories you have burned may vary slightly from

the number displayed, depending on the resistance of

the ski poles and the incline of the ski rails.

SCAN—Displays all of the above modes, for five sec-

onds each, in a repeating cycle.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM

OPERATING THE CONSOLE

1. To turn on the power, press the on/off button or

simply begin exercising. The entire display will

appear for two seconds. The monitor will then be

ready for operation.

2. Select one of the five modes:

SCAN mode—When the power is turned on, the

SCAN mode will automatically be selected. One

mode indicator will appear by the word SCAN, and

a second mode indicator will show which mode is

currently displayed. Note: The SCAN mode can

also be selected by repeatedly pressing the mode

button.

SPEED, TIME, DISTANCE or CALORIES mode—

These modes can be selected by repeatedly

pressing the mode button. A mode indicator will

show which mode has been selected. (Make sure

that the SCAN mode is not selected.) The modes

are selected in the following order: SPEED, TIME,

DISTANCE, CALORIE, SCAN.

3. To reset the display, turn the power off and then on

again by pressing the on/off button twice.

4. To turn off the power, press the on/off button.

Note: If the skier pedals are not moved and the

monitor buttons are not pressed for four min-

utes, the power will turn off automatically.

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the

cross-country skier. Keep liquids away from the con-

sole. Once every three months, apply a few drops of

light multi-purpose oil to the hubs of the pulleys at the

ends of the ski pedal strap.

CONSOLE

If the console does not function properly, or if the LCD

display becomes faint, the batteries should be

replaced. See INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE

CONSOLE on page 6 for instructions. Make sure that

the console wire is plugged fully into the console and

the reed switch wire. See assembly steps 7 and 8 on

page 5.

SKI PEDALS

If the ski pedals are difficult to move, the ski pedal

strap may be too tight. The tension should be

decreased. See ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE

SKI PEDAL STRAP on page 6 for instructions.

If the movement of the ski pedals becomes rough or

noisy, clean the ski rails and the ski pedal rollers with

a soft, dry cloth. Next, apply a non-oil-, non-petroleum

base silicone lubricant to the rails where the rollers

make contact. (We recommend Uni•Sport™ spray,

which can be ordered by calling our Customer Service

Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday

through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time.

Lubricant is also available at most automotive and

hardware stores.) Apply lubricant at least once every

three months.

If the movement of the ski pedals is still rough, the

rollers may need to be replaced. See ORDERING

REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this

manual.

SKI POLES

If the ski poles squeak when they are moved, a small

amount of grease may be applied to the four resis-

tance pads on each ski pole housing. See assembly

steps 1 to 3 on page 4 to see how to remove the ski

pole housings.

If the ski poles have little resistance, even when the

resistance dial is turned clockwise, the resistance

pads should be replaced. See ORDERING

REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover.

STORAGE

Loosen the

resistance dial

and lower the

ski poles.

Press down on

the front of the

upright bracket

and lower the

upright.

Remove the

batteries from

the console. Cover the cross-country skier during

extended periods of storage.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Resistance Dial

Upright Bracket

The following guidelines will help you to plan your

exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and

adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important

to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten-

sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a

guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate

should be maintained at a level between 70% and

85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.

This is known as your training zone.

You can find your training zone in the table below.

Training zones are listed for both unconditioned and

conditioned persons according to age.

During the first few months of your exercise program,

keep your heart rate near the low end of your training

zone as you exercise. After a few months, your heart

rate can be increased gradually until it is near the mid-

dle of your training zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, stop exercising and place

two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat

count, and multiply

the result by 10 to

find your heart rate.

For example, if your

six-second heartbeat

count is 14, your

heart rate is 140

beats per minute. (A

six-second count is

used because your

heart rate will drop

rapidly when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity

of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper

level.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should consist of three basic parts: a

warm-up, 20 to 30 minutes of training zone exercise,

and a cool-down.

Warming up prepares the body for exercise by

increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the

muscles and raising the body temperature. Begin each

workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light

exercise to warm up.

After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-

cise to raise your heart rate to your training zone for

20 to 30 minutes. Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise—never hold your breath.

Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of the

muscles, and reduce soreness and other post-exer-

cise problems. To maintain or improve your condition,

complete three workouts each week, with at least one

day of rest between workouts.

After a few months of regular exercise, you may com-

plete up to five workouts each week, if desired. The

key to success is to make exercise a regular and

enjoyable part of your everyday life.
