Setup
The ZIPRO Roam Stepper Mini comes largely pre-assembled, minimizing the setup required. Follow these steps to prepare your stepper for use:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the stepper from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the stepper on a flat, stable, and non-slip surface. Ensure there is enough clear space around the unit for safe operation, especially for arm movements if using the resistance bands.
- Resistance Band Attachment (Optional): If you plan to use the resistance bands, attach them to the designated hooks on the stepper's main body. Ensure they are securely fastened.
- Initial Check: Before your first use, visually inspect the stepper for any signs of damage or loose parts. Ensure all connections are secure.

Operating Instructions
The ZIPRO Roam Stepper Mini offers two primary modes of operation and includes a training computer to monitor your progress.
Stepping Modes:
- Vertical Stepping Mode: This mode simulates climbing stairs, effectively targeting your leg muscles and aiding in calorie burning. Simply step up and down on the pedals.
- Twist Mode: In addition to vertical movement, the stepper allows for a twisting motion. This engages your abdominal muscles, helping to shape your waist and strengthen your core.

Using the Resistance Bands:
The included resistance bands can be used simultaneously with stepping to engage your upper body. Hold the handles firmly and perform various arm exercises (e.g., bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses) while stepping.
LCD Training Computer:
The integrated LCD computer tracks your workout data. It typically displays the following metrics:
- TIME: Duration of your workout.
- CALORIES: Estimated calories burned during your session.
- STEPS: Total number of steps taken.
- REPS/MIN (RPM): Steps per minute.
- SCAN: Cycles through all metrics automatically.
To operate the computer, press the green button to cycle through display modes or reset values. Refer to the computer's specific instructions for detailed usage.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ZIPRO Roam Stepper Mini.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the stepper with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the hydraulic cylinders and moving joints for smooth operation. If you notice any squeaking or increased friction, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points.
- Tighten Connections: Regularly check all bolts and nuts to ensure they are tight. Loose connections can lead to instability and noise during use.
- Storage: When not in use, store the stepper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Its compact size allows for easy storage under a bed or in a closet.
