Introdução
This guide walks you through replacing the tension cable on a Niceday Stair Stepper. Over time, the cable can loosen from regular use, reducing the resistance needed to push and pull the pedals and potentially preventing the machine from functioning. This guide is designed to be simple and approachable, allowing anyone to complete the repair without calling a professional or discarding the machine.
Although the stepper is compact, it can still cause injury or damage to surrounding furniture. Before you begin, make sure you have enough space to work. If you’re using a table or floor, place cardboard underneath to protect the surface.
