specific type and should be replaced with the appropriate Concept2 replacement cord if significant
wear or damage is observed. See below for a description of cord wear/damage.
Cord Inspection:
1. The blue cord is a single cord connected to both handles and can be easily inspected by pulling
the handles all the way out and visually checking for wear. See below for a description of cord
wear.
2. To inspect the cords working inside the vertical frame, the lower back cover must be removed.
If the SkiErg is mounted to a wall it must be removed for this inspection.

Inspect the Fasteners
Check that all fasteners are tight and have not loosened during use. If your SkiErg is wall mounted,
pay particular attention to the wall mount fasteners.
