Maintenance & Care

The stepper is a simple, yet powerful fitness equipment that requires no power supply, allowing you to train your entire body easily at home. Below are care instructions for the stepper.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the stepper and all contact areas with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust.
• Lubrication: Regularly check if the drive system of the stepper needs lubrication. You can use the appropriate lubricant on the pulley or crank to ensure smooth operation. (The lubricant should be provided by you.)
• Adjustment: Make adjustments as needed, for example, the angle at which you use the machine, to ensure proper posture and maximum comfort.
• Check Screws: Regularly check all screws and nuts for tightness. If they are loose, they should be tightened immediately.
• Check Parts: Regularly inspect the parts of the stepper for damage or wear and replace them if necessary.
• Moisture: Store the stepper in a dry place to prevent damage to the machine from moisture.

These suggestions help ensure that your stepper remains in good condition and its lifespan is extended.

Note: Each stepper may have slightly different maintenance requirements. Consult your device manual or the manufacturer for specific maintenance requirements.

By following these maintenance steps, you can ensure that your fitness equipment remains in excellent condition and its lifespan is extended for many training sessions.

If you notice signs of wear during your regular inspection that may require replacement, please contact us at support.eu@merach.com.

Warm-up

Stretch before training. Warm muscles are easier to stretch. Start with a 5-10 minute warm-up phase, followed by some of the stretches below: Perform 5 repetitions, holding for 10 seconds or longer per leg. Repeat them after training.

1. Downward Stretch: Bend your knees slightly, lean your body forward slowly, relax your back and shoulders, and try to touch your toes with your hands. Hold the position for 10-15 seconds and then relax. Repeat the exercise 3 times (see Illustration 1).
2. Seated Hamstring Stretch: Sit with one leg straight. Position the other leg so that it is close to the inner side of the straight leg. Try to touch your feet with your hand. Hold the position for 10-15 seconds and then relax. Repeat this 3 times with each leg (see Illustration 2).
3. Achilles Tendon Stretch: Stand with both hands against a wall or tree and place one foot behind the other. Keep your back leg straight and the heel on the ground, and lean towards the wall or tree. Hold the position for 10-15 seconds and then relax. Repeat this 3 times with each leg (see Illustration 3).
4. Quadriceps Stretch: Reach back with your right hand, grasp your right foot, and pull it slowly towards your hip until you feel the muscles on the front of your thigh tensing. Hold the tension for 10-15 seconds and then relax. Repeat this 3 times with each leg (see Illustration 4).
5. Sartorius Stretch (Inner Thigh Muscle): Sit with your feet together and knees pointing outwards. Grasp your feet with both hands and pull them towards your groin. Hold the position for 10-15 seconds and then relax. Repeat the exercise 3 times (see Illustration 5).
