Place an exercise mat on the floor where you will be setting up your machine. This is to protect the flooring underneath. Lay the folded ski machine on the mat.

Remove the skis from the machine and raise the upright tube upwards, about 1 1/2 feet from its packing position. Lift the front end of the machine and rest it on the back of the base. The base of the machine and the hip-pad should form a tripod.

Place one of the included washers on each of the included 3/8-inch bolts.

Align the holes of the leg assembly with the holes in the front frame, insert the bolts through the aligned holes with the bolt heads faced outward and tighten them with the provided wrench.

Slide the leg into the leg assembly section of the machine, and set the elevation of this assembly to the second set of holes from the bottom.

Secure the assembly in place with the provided easy-lock pin. Repeat with the other leg.

Lower the ski exerciser to the floor and raise the arm exerciser until its’ snap buttons lock into place. Tighten the hip-pad knobs now if they aren’t already tightened.

Loosen the upright tube knob, raise the upright tube slightly and place your hand on top of the upright tube. Begin pushing the tube down into the upright-tube support until it is adjusted to the height you desire.

Tighten the knob on the upright-tube. Pivot the hip pad down as far as possible.

Attach the electronic monitor per the separate set of instructions included with your machine. This device will display exercise duration, virtual distance traveled, calories burned and your pulse while you exercise.
