How to Replace the Xiser® Pedal Retainer Band

This page provides basic instructions for replacing the pedal retainer band on your Xiser® stepper. The pedal retainer band helps keep the pedals properly positioned when the unit is folded, stored, or moved.

Xiser® steppers are built to be serviced, not thrown away. If your pedal retainer band is worn, loose, damaged, or missing, replacing it can help keep your Xiser® portable stair stepper easier to fold, store, and transport.

Before You Start

Before replacing the pedal retainer band, place your Xiser® stepper on a clean, stable work surface with enough room to open and close the pedals. Make sure the machine is not in use and that the pedals are fully supported.

  • Work on a flat, stable surface.
  • Keep small parts organized while you work.
  • Inspect the pedal area before installing the new band.
  • Do not force the band into place if something appears misaligned.

What the Pedal Retainer Band Does

The pedal retainer band is a simple but useful part of the Xiser® stepper. It helps hold the pedals together when the machine is folded or carried. This makes the unit easier to store, move, and transport.

If the band becomes stretched, broken, or missing, the pedals may not stay together as neatly when folded. Replacing the band helps restore the intended storage and carrying function of the machine.
