The Matrix U7x-01 Bike can operate without power; however, the
machine must boot the software with each new user. This can mean
a delay of up to 35 seconds while the machine's operating system
prepares for a workout. It's similar to turning your cell phone on for
the first time of the day. These units can also be AC powered. This
will power the console at all times and requires no minimum RPM
for operation. A powered product lowers the starting resistance and
is easier to use for beginners. These units can be daisy chained
together, up to 4 units per dedicated 15 amp circuit, using a Matrix
daisy chain cord adapter (sold separately).
For your safety and for the performance of your Matrix bike, the
ground on your circuits must be non looped. Please refer to NEC
articles 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard Matrix
power cords will void all warranties.
gRoUNDiNg iNSTRUCTioNS:
The Matrix U7x-01 Bike must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The bike is
equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these
grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited
warranty.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if the user is in doubt as to whether the product
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by an
electrician
