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.

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 at right.
•Thebungeecordconsistsofelasticbersencasedina
braided covering. Some “fuzzing” of the covering is to be
expected, but once the white fibers are exposed the cord
should be replaced immediately.
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.
