INSTRUCTOR’S MANUAL
DAMPER
The SkiErg features a damper with settings from 1 to 10. The damper adjusts the
amount of air that gets into the flywheel. The damper setting is like bicycle gearing. It
affects the feel of the skiing but does not directly affect the resistance. By changing
the damper setting, you can simulate the range of skiing speeds that occur on snow.
Higher numbers feel more like skiing in slow conditions or uphill. Lower numbers feel
like skiing in faster snow conditions, on flat terrain and downhill. For general fitness
and a good aerobic workout, use a damper setting between 1 and 4.
Note: The 1–10 damper setting scale is a handy reference for setting the “gearing.” Using the drag
factor on the Performance Monitor (PM) is a more accurate way to set gearing.

Adjusting the damper provides a variety of environments in which to SkiErg. While higher damper
setting may allow you to generate force with a slower stroke, as one becomes more skilled at the
skiing motion you will be able to apply your power more quickly and generate high forces even at the
lowest numbered damper setting. Skiing at the higher settings (slower pull through and higher forces)
can put too much strain on your muscles and cause you to stop your workout (or tire) without getting
full aerobic benefits.
STRAPLESS HANDLES
The SkiErg’s ergonomic, strapless handles provide for a comfortable, secure grip and won’t absorb
sweat so they stay dry in high use settings. They are also suitable for all hand sizes as they require no
adjustment.
HANDLE HOOK OPTIONAL
The optional handle hook provides a safe, yet accessible place to keep the handles.
FLOOR STAND OPTIONAL
The floor stand provides an alternative method of supporting the SkiErg if wall mounting is not an
option. It makes the SkiErg free standing, allowing you to use the SkiErg anywhere. With a steel
support and laminated wooden base, the floor stand is tough and well-built, yet has caster wheels to
move it easily into and out of place. The anti-skid, wear-resistant surface offers firm footing.
The floor stand is suitable for use with most wheelchairs.
HIGH STRENGTH DRIVE CORDS
The SkiErg relies on high-strength cords in its drive system. Much stronger than steel, the cords are
also extremely lightweight, resulting in a system that is responsive, smooth and durable.
