2.1 BEFORE GETTING STARTED
The Matrix S3x-02 Stepper is intended for commercial use. To
ensure your safety and protect the equipment, read all instructions
before operating the stepper.
CHOOSING A SITE
The site should be well lit and well ventilated. Locate the Matrix
S3x-02 Stepper on a structurally solid and flat surface. The Stepper
should have a clearance of 24" on the back side from the wall or
other equipment. This zone is to allow easy access to the Stepper
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 S3x-02 Stepper 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.
To ensure your safety and protect the equipment, read all
instructions before operating the Matrix S3x-02 Stepper.
To ensure proper use of the Stepper, make sure that all users
read this manual. Remind the users that before undertaking any
fitness program, they should obtain complete physical examinations
from their physicians. If, at any time while exercising, the user
experiences dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, nausea or feels
faint, he or she must stop immediately.
