5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Stepping Exercise
- Step onto the pedals one foot at a time, ensuring your feet are centered and stable.

5.2 Adjusting Stride Height
The stepper features a stride adjustment knob at the bottom. Turning this knob allows you to modify the height of the steps, which affects the intensity of your workout and targets different muscle groups.
- Lower Stride: Easier stepping, suitable for extended exercise time and cardiovascular endurance.
- Higher Stride: Increases calorie burn and engages leg and core muscles more intensely.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Niceday Mini Stepper, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Squeaking or unusual noise | Loose parts, lack of lubrication, or debris. | Check and tighten all bolts. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to pivot points if necessary. Clean any debris. |
| Inconsistent resistance | Hydraulic cylinders need to warm up, or potential issue with the hydraulic system. | Allow a few minutes of light stepping for the hydraulic fluid to warm up. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| LCD monitor not displaying | Dead battery or loose connection. | Replace the battery (typically LR44). Ensure the sensor cable is securely connected. |
| Stepper feels unstable | Uneven surface or loose frame components. | Ensure the stepper is on a flat, level surface. Check and tighten all frame bolts. |
