CRICKET STEPPER

OIL CYLINDER FUNCTION
•
CRICKET STEPPER technology includes two oil cylinders (pistons). The oil cylinders operate
when they are installed under the pedal bars, IMAGE (A) ITEM 1. They are attached to the pedal
bars and the main frame, with a quick release pin, IMAGE (A) ITEMS 2 AND 3. The cylinders are
specially made for exercise equipment with one speed resistance, so the user can add more
resistance to the workout.
One advantage is that the hydraulic cylinders provide bi-directional
resistance which creates a push/pull effect allowing more muscles to be used when performing
an exercise. By installing the cylinders, the force exerted by the user will equal the force
returned by the machine. The user can install only one cylinder if necessary on either side if one
leg needs more resistance than the other. IMAGE (B) ITEM 1. This is also in order to
accommodate disabled individuals, or individuals in physical therapy that need to exercise one
leg more over the other.
•
When the cylinders and quick release pins are not being used, CRICKET STEPPER provides
storage clips, located on the top front of the pedal bars. IMAGE (B) ITEM 2.

If at the time of riding CRICKET
STEPPER, user decides to remove the
pistons to continue riding without
resistance; both pistons and pins can be
removed and placed securely on the
storage clips provided. IMAGE (C) ITEM 1.
The pistons can easily be removed just by
removing simple pins. If you want a
regular ride on the days you are not up to
an intense workout simply remove the
pistons. REFERENCE TO PISTON
