3.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
In order to maximize life span, and minimize down time, all MATRIX equipment requires regular cleaning, and maintenance items performed on
a scheduled basis. This section contains detailed instructions on how to perform these items, the frequency of which they should be done, and a

which include (but may not be limited to):
* Metric Allen wrenches
* #2 Phillips head screwdriver
* Adjustable wrench
* Torque wrench (capability to read foot lbs, and inch lbs)
* Lint free cleaning cloths
* Mild, water soluble, detergent – such as “Simple Green”, or other Matrix approved product
* Teflon based spray lubricant such as “Super Lube”, or other Matrix approved product
* Vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose and crevasse tool attachment

DAILY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service.
2) Clean the Suspension Elliptical before and after each use, including:
a. Use a damp, soft cloth with water or mild liquid detergent to clean all exposed surfaces. DO NOT use ammonia, chlorine, or any acid
based cleaners. NOTE: Never spray cleaner directly on the equipment. Spray the cleaner directly into a cloth to clean.
b. Keep the console display free of fingerprints and salt build up caused by sweat.
c. Frequently vacuum the floor beneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt which can affect the smooth operation of the
unit.
3) Attempt to wobble the unit back and forth, level if needed (see Section 10.4).
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Wipe down the roller track and wheels with a cotton cloth to remove any debris that may be present.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS

2) Check the link / pedal arms for loose joints, tighten hardware as needed.
3) Adjust leveling feet if the equipment rocks or wobbles.
4) Check the pedal foot pad for damage or wear. Replace as needed. Vacuum under the rubber foot pad.
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove the front shrouds and check belts for damage, alignment, and proper tension.
