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

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.
