Read the owner's manual before setting up the Matrix E1x Elliptical Trainer. Place the unit where it will be used before beginning the setup

procedure.

MaKiNg a cHoicE of SitE

The site should be well lit and well ventilated. Locate the Matrix E1x Elliptical Trainer on a structurally solid and flat surface. The elliptical

trainer should have a clearance of 20" on one side and behind the unit, and 12" on the other side from the wall or other equipment. This zone

is to allow easy access to the elliptical trainer and gives the user an easy exit path from the machine. If the site has a heavy plush carpet, to

protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.

Please do not place the Matrix E1x Elliptical Trainer in an area of high humidity, such as the vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna.

Exposure to intensive water vapor or chlorine could adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine.
