3.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
In order to maximize life span, and minimize down time, all Matrix Fitness System's 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 check list to sign off on each time service is completed for a specific machine. 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
* Torque wrench (capability to read foot lbs and inch lbs)
* Lint free cleaning cloths
* Teflon based spray lubricant such as "Super Lube" or other Matrix approved products.
* Mild water soluble detergent such as "Simple Green" or other Matrix approved products
* Vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose and crevasse tool attachment.
You may periodically see addendums 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 web site at www.matrixfitness.com.
DAILY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Clean the entire machine using water and mild detergent such as "Simple Green", or other Matrix approved solutions (cleaning agents MUST
be alcohol and ammonia free) including the console, handlebar / grip area, and running belt. Spray cleaner onto a cloth to clean. NEVER spray
cleaner directly on equipment.
2) Check the emergency stop button and safety cord for proper operation.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Vacuum the dust from the running deck and belt as well as the fan vent located in the front of the unit. Vacuuming dust from the belt and
deck will help reduce the amount of dust that will collect under the belt causing possible issues with the wax.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Inspect the power cord for damage, inspect hand grip areas, and inspect the emergency stop button and cord for proper operation.
2) Check the running belt for proper tension, adjust as needed as outlined in Section 3.5.
3) Check that the power cord bracket is securely fastened and has not moved. .
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove the front plastic cover, and vacuum the motor area of machine. Be careful when working around the MCB not to bump any wires or
connections loose. Also move the unit and vacuum beneath it to prevent dust and dirt build up that can affect performance.
2) Check the drive belt for visible wear, ie, cracking, tears, etc. The belt should be replaced if there are any visible signs of damage. Proper
alignment of the pulley / tensioner should be verified at this time as well.
3) Remove the plastic shroud at the front of the machine. Start the unit and raise incline settings to maximum height. Turn the power switch off
at the front of the machine to prevent it from lowering accidentally. Lubricate incline motor Acme screw (Matrix recommends Super Lube brand
grease with PTFE additive).
BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove wax build up from the front and rear rollers of the machine (a plastic paint scraper / putty knife or a credit card work the best).
2) Inspect the underside of the running belt for damage, check for cracking or glazed surfaces.
3) If the belt has damage or wear to it that warrants replacement, note that the running deck must also be flipped when a new belt is installed.
If the deck has previously been flipped and no longer has an unused side available, it needs to be replaced when the new belt is installed. A
new belt must ALWAYS be installed to run on a new deck surface in order to maximize the lifespan of both items.
4) During normal operating conditions, the running belt replacement and deck service should be done every 20,000 miles.
