CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

MATRIX DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO

All Matrix Ascent Trainers require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp
“dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the
power requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug
Ascent Trainers into should not have anything else running on that
same circuit besides other Ascent or Incline Trainers (up to 3 per 15
amp circuit and 4 per 20 amp circuit). The easiest way to verify this is to
locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a
time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not
have power to it are the Ascent/Incline Trainers in question. No lamps,
vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose
power when you perform this test.

Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must
have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it, and
terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single
neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.

In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire
must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have
the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from
the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100 ft or less, then 12 gauge
wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit
breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must be used.

For your safety and Ascent Trainer performance, the ground on this
circuit must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-

23. Your Ascent Trainer is provided with a power cord with a plug listed
below and requires the listed outlet. Any alterations of this power cord
could void all warranties for this product. Multiple Ascent Trainers can
be powered on one dedicated circuit. (3 units per 15 Amp and 4 units
per 20 Amp dedicated circuit.)

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

The Matrix Ascent Trainer 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 Ascent Trainer 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

3.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS

Preventative maintenance and daily cleaning will prolong the life and
look of your MATRIX Ascent Trainer.

Please read and follow these tips.

• Positiontheequipmentawayfromdirectsunlight.TheintenseUV

light can cause discoloration on plastics.

• Locateyourequipmentinanareawithcooltemperaturesandlow

humidity.

• Cleanwithasoft100%cottoncloth.

• Cleanwithsoapandwaterorothernon-ammoniabasedallpur-

pose cleaners.

• Wipefootpads,handles,heartrategrips,andhandlebarsclean

after each use.

• Donotpourliquidsdirectlyontoyourequipment.Thiscancause

damage to the equipment and in some cases electrocution.

• Checkpedalmotionandstability.

• Adjustlevelingfeetwhenequipmentwobblesorrocks.

• Maintainacleanareaaroundequipment,freefromdustanddirt.

DO NOT use any equipment that is damaged or has worn or broken
parts. Use only replacement parts supplied by Matrix Fitness
Systems.

MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. Do not remove labels
for any reason. They contain important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact Matrix Fitness Systems for a replacement. 1-866­693-4863, www.matrixfitness.com

MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT Preventative maintenance is the key
to smooth operating equipment. Equipment needs to be inspected
at regular intervals. Defective components must be replaced
immediately. Improperly working equipment must be kept out of use
until it is repaired. Ensure that any person(s) making adjustments
or performing maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified to do
so. Matrix Fitness Systems will provide service and maintenance
training at our corporate facility upon request or in the field if proper
arrangements are made.

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 with an extendable hose and crevasse tool attachment

Please find the worksheet sample for our equipment provided in this
manual and make copies as needed. Keep 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 web site, 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
should be alcohol and ammonia free).

QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS

1) Check all connecting joint areas for tightness of bolt assemblies.

2) Ensure that there is little, or no free play at all joint assemblies once bolts
have been tightened. Installation of washer kits may be required if free
play does not come out from tightening bolts.

3) Remove plastic covers, and lubricate the ball joint where the Link Arm
and Handlebar join together. A grease gun, with a needle fitting adapter
is required for this (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease
with PTFE {Teflon} additive).

4) Remove plastic covers, and lubricate the Acme screw on the left and
right incline motors (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease
with PTFE {Teflon} additive).

Fitness test -The Cooper Fitness Test measures cardiovascular fitness and proves an estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based

on power output according to ACSM standards and was developed by the Cooper Institute© (www.cooperinstitute.org). User RPMs must
remain between 60-80 RPM during the test. The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this speed. Use of a heart rate strap is
optional but provides more data.

The test starts at a low intensity level and gradually increases in intensity (difficulty) every 2 minutes. As it increases, the user must maintain
60-80 RPM to advance to the next level. The test could take upwards of 30+ minutes for very fit individuals. Once the test ends a recovery
period (cool down) will begin and the user's results are calculated and displayed. Results are based on the number of stages completed.
Incline will not be adjustable during the test.

1) Start pedaling and press the key next to FITNESS TEST on the display.

equation:(220-Age)8%=targetheartratezone.Theusermustwear

a POLAR telemetric strap or continually hold onto the contact heart
rate grips for this workout.

Locate the metal sensors on the handlebars of the Ascent Trainer.
