On a Regular Basis
Untwist the Cords
As 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 hand set. 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, we encourage you to check the cords regularly and untwist them as needed. You’ll
be able to see the twist in the cord; simply untwist by turning the handle in the opposite direction
to the twist.
Follow this procedure periodically to fully untwist the cords. This is easiest done with two people.
1.Pulloutbothhandlesasfarastheygo.
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.

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. See page 16 for a description of cord
wear/damage.
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. See page 16 for a
description of cord wear.
