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 Main Menu/More Options/Utilities/
Product ID/More Information.
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.
Inspect/Clean Grips and Straps
Check the handle straps for signs of excessive
fraying or damage, especially near the
attachment point to the handle. Replace
immediately if excessive fraying is visible.
Use a mild soap or cleaning product to clean the
grips and straps every few workouts as needed.
Every 500,000 meters
(approximately 50 hours of use)
Inspect the Cords
There are three separate cords and one bungee cord 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 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.
2. To inspect the cords working inside the vertical frame,
the lower rear cover must be removed. If the SkiErg
is mounted to a wall it must be removed for this
inspection.

length of these three cords.
A Description of Cord Wear/Damage:

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.

is normal, but once the white fibers are exposed the
cord should be replaced immediately.
