3.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
CHAPTER 3: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
In order to maximize life span, and minimize down time, all MATRIX equipment requires regular maintenance items performed on a scheduled
basis. This section contains detailed instructions on how to perform these items and the frequency of which they should be done. Some basic
tools and supplies will be necessary to perform these tasks which include (but may not be limited to):
* Metric Allen wrenches
* #2 Phillips head screwdriver
* Adjustable wrench
* Teflon based spray lubricant such as “Super Lube”, or other Matrix approved product
You may periodically see an addendum to this document, as the Matrix Technical Support Team identifies items that require specific attention, the
latest version will always be available on the Matrix website, www.matrixfitness.com
DAILY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1. Attempt to wobble the unit back and forth, level if needed (see Section 10.4).
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1. Check all connecting joint areas for tightness of bolt assemblies.
2. Ensure that there is little, or no free play at all joint assemblies once bolts have been tightened. Installation of washer kits may be required
if free play does not come out from tightening bolts.
3. Remove plastic covers, and lubricate the ball joint where the Link Arm and Handlebar join together. Use your finger to apply grease to the
ball bearing. Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon} additive.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1. Remove the front round covers and check the belts for damage, alignment, and proper tension.
