Step 2:
With the flywheel and PM5 facing up as shown, attach the upper arms to the
front side of the SkiErg body using four fasteners.
Note: The upper arms are labeled on the inside with L for left and R for
right.
Step 3:
Attach the top bracket to the tops of the arms using four fasteners—2 fasteners per side. The white handle cords should be crossed once as shown in photo 3a. Remove the shipping insert on the white handle cords to release.
Step 4:
Carefully stand the SkiErg up. Attach the upper arms to the NO back side of the SkiErg body using four fasteners.

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 83.5 in (52 cm x 40.6 cm x 212 cm). Training area: 24 in x 52 in x 85 in (61 cm x 132 cm x 215.9 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: 24
in x 52 in x 85 in (61 cm x 132 cm x 215.9 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 Tools Needed
- 1/2” (13 mm)
- Drill w/1/4” bit (6 mm)
- (2) 1/4”-20 fasteners
- (4) 5/16” lag screws
- (4) 5/16” washers
- (2) black spacers
When mounted properly, the lag screws, fasteners and washers will withstand 500 lbs of force
Step 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.
Step 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).
Step 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!
Step 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.
- Determine the location of the studs in your wall. Mark the center of the studs. Measure the distance between them.
- 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.
- Drill through holes at each of these locations.
- 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.)
- You may now follow steps 2–4 from the previous SkiErg mounting instructions using the mounting hardware provided.
