2.1 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
In order to maximize life span, and minimize down time, all MATRIX 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 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
Mild, water soluble, detergent – such as “Simple Green”, or other Matrix
approved product
Teflon based spray lubricant such as “Super Lube”, or other Matrix approved
product
Vacuum cleaner w/extendable hose and crevasse tool attachment
Please find the worksheet sample for our equipment provided in this manual
and make copies as needed, keeping them up to date as the required service/
maintenance items are performed. It is critical that you also log the accumulated
(total) amount of miles or running hours on the equipment each time service or
maintenance is performed.
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 website, matrixfitness.com
DAILY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Clean entire machine use water and mild detergent such as “Simple
Green”, or other Matrix approved solution (cleaning agents should be
alcohol and ammonia free).
2.2 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Matrix cycles have different electrical requirements depending on the
model chosen. The chart below should assist you with your facility planning:
5x: These products are designed to be self powered and do not require an
external power supply source to operate. However, these units can be AC
powered if an optional power cord is purchased. This will power the console
at all times and requires no minimum RPM for operation. 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).
7x: These products 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 1st 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).
7xe: These products must be AC powered. 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 product, the ground
on your circuits must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21
and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard Matrix power cords will void all
warranties.
