IMPORTANT INFORMATION-PLESE READ
Medical / Safty Care and Maintenance
We suggest that you read this User Manual thoroughly
to familiarize yourself with the ASK Ski Trainer before
using it.
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your
physician. He or she can help evaluate your present
fitness level and determine the exercise program that
is the most appropriate for your age and physical
condition.
If you experience any pain or tightness in the chest,
irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, faintness, or
unusual discomfort upon exercising, stop and consult
a physician.
Adult supervision is required at all times when children
are on or near the ASK Ski Trainer. Unsupervised
children should keep away from the equipment at all
times.
Keep fingers and limbs, loose clothing and hair away
from moving parts.
Before each workout, we advise that a precautionary
safety check is wise. All equipment should be safety
checked for wear and damage. If you find any damage
or defective components stop using the ASK Ski
Trainer immediately and contact your dealer for help.
Keep the equipment out of use until repaired by a
certified technician.
To avoid injury, care should be taken when getting on
or off your ASK Ski Trainer.
Wear comfortable, lightweight, well ventilated clothing
to help sweat evaporate. Make sure your shoes fit you
properly and provide external and lateral stability
support to prevent ankle and knee injuries. Wear
cross-training, walking or running shoes.
It’s very important not to become dehydrated. Your
body needs water lost during exercise.
Don’t forget to warm-up and cool-down. Limbering up
“cool” muscles and cooling down after exercise are
important injury-prevention measures. If you have not
warmed up prior to mounting your ASK Ski Trainer, to
avoid injury we suggest you exercise slowly for at
least five minutes before beginning any intense
exercise programs.
Your ASK Ski Trainer is made of the high quality
materials. However it is still important that you take
care of your ASK Ski Trainer on a regular basis. Your
ASK Ski Trainer is for indoor use only and should not
be used or stored in damp areas. Wipe all perspiration
from your after each use.
For safety, inspect your ASK Ski Trainer on a regular
basis. When used in a domestic environment a safety
check and clean before use is advised.
PARTS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO WEAR
ROPE CLAMP [part# 023 024 210 387C]
The rope clamps are made of plastic and can
easily break without warning. We suggest, before
your workout you visually check the rope clamps
for any sign of stress indicated by white stretch
marks. Replacing the rope clamps is a simple
procedure that can be down by the user at any time.
Spare clamps are available from your dealer. The
only tool you need is a phillips screwdriver. Simply
remove the screw from old rope clamp and
disassemble. The assembly procedure is the
reverse of the disassemble procedure taking care
not to over tighten the screw.
ROPE ASSEMBLY [part# 009]
The rope suffers a lot of friction and can easily
fray. Check for frayed rope consistently. The
pulleys are also susceptible to wear however they
will last a lot longer than the rope. When the rope
is damaged we suggest that you replace it
yourself.
Contact your dealer for assistance.
FLOOR STAND FASTENERS [part# 001 416 368]
The parts are assembled by the consumer and should
be checked regularly to ensure that they remain tight at
all times.
ALL FASTENERS [Nuts, Bolts, and Screws]
Due to vibration, over time some of the fasteners may
become loose. We strongly suggest the owner periodically
check all visible fasteners at least once a year to ensure
that they remain tight.
RETURN SYSTEM [part#139A]
If the return system feels slow or slack, contact your dealer
for assistance.
BELT TENSION [part# 022 134]
The belt should not need tensioning for years, however, if
you feel the resistance system is slipping contact your
dealer for assistance.

wash the grease away damaging your ASK Ski Trainer
