3. Operating Instructions
3.1. Powering On and Off
The built-in monitor automatically activates when you begin stepping. To conserve battery, the monitor will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity.
3.2. Adjusting Intensity
The stepper offers 1 to 11 levels of intensity adjustment. Rotate the dial located on the front of the stepper to increase or decrease the resistance. Start with a lower intensity for warm-up and gradually increase as your fitness improves. The 'P' (Park) position locks the pedals for safe mounting and dismounting, preventing accidental movement.

4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning
Wipe down the stepper with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
4.2. Lubrication
The stepper utilizes an air+oil drive system designed for smooth operation. Regular lubrication is generally not required under normal use. If you notice any squeaking or stiffness, consult the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
4.3. Storage
The compact design of the CHAOKE Stepper allows for easy storage. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Its dimensions (approximately 39cm x 39cm x 25cm) make it suitable for storage in small spaces.

5. Troubleshooting
- No display on monitor: Check if the battery is correctly installed or needs replacement. The monitor uses 1 alkaline button battery.
- Squeaking noise during operation: Ensure all bolts are tightened. If the noise persists, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants.
- Pedals feel stiff or uneven: Verify that the stepper is on a level surface. Check for any obstructions beneath the pedals. If the issue continues, contact customer support.
- Stepper moves during use: Ensure the stepper is placed on a non-slip mat. The non-slip foot covers should provide adequate grip on most surfaces.
