What are the most common stepper maintenance-related questions?
How do you maintain the heart rate reading device on a stair stepper?
The grips that provide pulse readings on stepper machines often fail. This is because of the build-up from perspiration and oils from your skin. You can avoid this problem by thoroughly wiping the grips after each use and cleaning them regularly with a non-abrasive cleaning agent.
What cleaner should you use on a stair stepper machine?
Mineral-based cleaners may cause residue and buildup, which may hurt performance and ruin electrical components. You should use a soft cloth and non-mineral cleaner or soap-and-water mixture, remembering to dry thoroughly afterward.
How often should you lubricate your stair stepper?
You should consider lubricating the chain and other moving components of your stepper every three months using standard motor oil, all-purpose grease lubricant, or a silicon-based product. The owner's manual or an exercise machine technician will tell you which option is best for your equipment.
