INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Wall mounted: Hardware is included for attaching the SkiErg to a wall with 16” wooden stud spacing. For mounting to other types of wall construction (metal, concrete, etc.), please consult with a building professional for safe and secure installation. See below for installation recommendations.
Dimensions (without user): 20.5 in x 16 in x 85 in (52 cm x 40.6 cm x 216 cm). Training area: 23.5 in x 50 in x 85 in (60 cm x 127 cm x 216 cm). Weight: 46 lb (21 kg).
Free standing: The optional floor stand with built-in caster wheels allows for use on any level surface. Some assembly is required.
Dimensions: 23.5 in x 50 in x 85 in (60 cm x 127 cm x 216 cm). Floor Stand Weight: 35 lb (18 kg).
HINT: Read through the instructions before beginning. It will be helpful to have another person assist with the installation.

Wall Mounting Instructions for a Wall with 16” Wooden Stud Spacing
The SkiErg must be securely and reliably fastened to a solid wall. The SkiErg comes with pre-drilled holes for a standard 16” on center stud wall construction.

SAFETY NOTE: If you are unsure that your walls have wooden studs at 16” spacing, you should not continue installation until you determine the spacing of the studs. If the studs are spaced at a dimension other than 16,” you must follow the alternate installation instructions on page 15. If you are still unsure about the spacing of the studs do not continue installation until you have made the correct determination.

Wall Mounting Instructions for a Wall with 16” Wooden Stud Spacing

Tools Needed

  1. 1/2” (13 mm)

  2. Drill w/1/4” bit (6 mm)

  3. (2) 1/4”-20 fasteners

  4. (4) 5/16” lag screws
    Screws

  5. (4) 5/16” washers

  6. (2) black spacers

When mounted properly, the lag screws, fasteners and washers will withstand 500 lbs of force.

Wall Mounting Instructions

  1. Lay the SkiErg on the floor with the flywheel facing up. Install the universal bracket on the SkiErg top bracket. Insert two 1/4”-20 fasteners through the SkiErg top bracket and into the two outer holes of the universal bracket.
    Mounting Instructions

  2. Hold the SkiErg up against the wall. The two outside holes on the universal bracket should be lined up with the wall studs. Mark each hole location. Also mark each hole location where the SkiErg bottom bracket lines up with the wall (left and right side).
    Mounting Instructions

  3. Starting at the universal bracket drill a ¼” diameter hole 2” deep at each mark. Assemble a washer on a lag screw and screw into each hole until tight.
    BE SURE YOU ARE DRILLING INTO SOLID MATERIAL AND THAT THE SKIERG IS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE WALL. INSUFFICIENT ATTACHMENT MAY LEAD TO INJURY!
    Mounting Instructions

  4. Place a black spacer behind each mounting hole on the SkiErg bottom bracket. Assemble a washer on a lag screw and screw into each mounting hole until tight.

Wall Mounting Instructions for a Wall with Wooden Stud Spacing other than 16”
Prior to mounting your SkiErg to a wall with stud spacing other than 16” you must provide a solid attachment point by first securing a wooden mounting plate to the wall. This wooden plate should be 1.5” thick and suitable for receiving the lag screws (provided in parts bag) which will hold the SkiErg. You will need to provide lag screws and washers to attach this mounting plate to the wall.

  1. Determine the location of the studs in your wall. Mark the center of the studs. Measure the distance between them.
  2. Make 4 marks on each piece of wood 1” from the top, 1” up from the bottom, and separated by the stud spacing in your wall.
  3. Drill through holes at each of these locations.
  4. Install the pieces of wood such that the center line of the top piece is 85” above the floor, and the lower piece is resting on the floor. (Note, if you have a wooden baseboard, you may attach the SkiErg directly to the baseboard.)
  5. You may now follow steps 2–4 from the previous SkiErg mounting instructions using the mounting hardware provided.
