4.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
Use a soft, clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use paper towels to clean surfaces on the tread-
mill. Paper towels are abrasive and can surfaces.
Use a mild soap and damp cloth. DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner. This will cause
discoloring of the aluminum and plastics it comes into contact with.
Do not pour water or cleaning solutions on any surface. This could cause electrocution.
Wipe the console and side rails after every use.
Brush away any wax deposits from the deck and belt area. This is a common occurrence
until the wax is worked into the belt material.
Be sure to remove any obstructions from the path of the elevation wheels including
power cords.
Monthly, unplug the treadmill and remove the motor cover. Check for debris and clean
with a dry cloth or small vacuum nozzle. WARNING Do not plug the treadmill in until
the motor cover has been reinstalled.
CAUTION
This unit weighs 450 lbs / 204 kgs. Be sure to have proper assistance to install
and move the unit in order to avoid injury to you or the unit.
4.2 DECK AND BELT REPLACEMENT
One of the most common wear and tear items on a treadmill is the Deck and Belt combina-
tion. If these two items are not properly maintained they can cause damage to other com-
ponents. This product has been provided with the most advanced maintenance free lubri-
cating system on the market.
WARNING
Do not run the treadmill while cleaning the belt and deck. This can cause seri-
ous injury and can damage the machine.
Maintain the belt and deck by wiping the sides of the belt and deck with a clean cloth. The
user can also wipe under the belt 2 inches on both sides removing any dust or debris.
The deck can be flipped and reinstalled with a new only by an authorized service techni-
cian. Please contact Matrix Fitness Systems for more information.
4.3 ADJUSTING THE BELT
After locating the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be checked for prop-
er tension and centering. The belt might need to be adjusted after the first two hours of
use. Temperature, humidity, and use cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt
starts to slip when a user is on it, be sure to follow the directions below.

Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill. The bolts are located
at each end of the frame at the back of the treadmill. These bolts adjust the rear
belt roller. Do not adjust until the treadmill is on. This will prevent over tighten-
ing of one side.
The belt should have equal distance on either side between the frame. If the belt
is touching one side, do not start the treadmill. Turn the bolts counter clockwise
approximately one full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing the
belt from side to side. Tighten the bolts the same amount as when the user loos-
ened them approximately one full turn. Inspect the belt for damage.
While the treadmill is running at 3 mph, observe the belt position. If it is moving
to the right, tighten the right bolt by turning it clockwise ⁄ turn, and loosen the left
bolt ⁄ turn. If it is moving to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it clockwise
⁄ turn and loosen the right ⁄ turn. Repeat Step 3 until the belt remains centered
for several minutes.
Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very snug. When a person walks
or runs on the belt it should not hesitate or slip. If this occurs, tighten the belt
by turning both bolts clockwise ⁄ turn. Repeat if necessary.
