Maintenance tips for your Lifestyler folding stepper
- Inspect all parts of the stepper before each use.
- Tighten any loose screws, nuts, bolts, pins or fasteners before using the stepper.
- Replace any worn or damaged parts on the stepper immediately.
- Lubricate all moving parts on the stepper regularly using all-purpose grease.
- Replace the batteries in the console when the console appears dim or it's completely dead. You may also need to replace the batteries when resistance won't change or changes in resistance are sluggish.
Troubleshooting your Lifestyler stepper when incorrect speed is displayed on the console
A problem with the reed switch, wiring failure or faulty console can cause the incorrect speed to be displayed.
Unplug the stepper if it has a power cord and check the position of the reed switch if displayed speed is extremely slow when you're treading at a fast pace. The reed switch won't detect the crank arm pulley magnet if the switch is too far away from the pulley. Adjust the reed switch closer to the pulley so the reed switch detects the magnet and sends the proper speed signal to the console.
If the reed switch is properly positioned close to the crank arm pulley, check wiring between the reed switch and the console. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.
If the wires are okay, you may need to replace the console because it isn't displaying the correct speed even though it's receiving the correct speed signal from the reed switch.
