Replacing Simulator Skins
The simulator skins may need to be replaced if they become torn,
perforated, or stained.
1 Unzip and unroll the skin.
2 Applying powder to the inside of arm, torso and leg skins will
help reduce friction and make replacing the skins easier.
To prevent the zippers from separating from the skin, make sure
to properly position the skin halves and hold them together while
zipping them closed.

needs replacement.
