This Ascent Trainer is intended for commercial use. To ensure
your safety and protect the equipment, read all instructions before
operating the MATRIX Ascent Trainer.
When using an electrical product, basic precautions should always be
followed including the following:
The Matrix Ascent Trainer can now be self powered, but it recommended that the 7x version of the Ascent Trainer be plugged in. If the A7x is
left in self powered mode, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the screen to load prior to every workout. It is recommended that the unit
be plugged in for at least 4 hours after initial installation to charge the battery prior to using the self powered feature. NOTE: If an add on TV
(using a bracket) or Virtual Active is added to the unit, it must be plugged in, or the TV or VA will not operate correctly. If the Ascent Trainer will
be plugged in, follow the requirements below.
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 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 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.
CONSOLE POWER
The Matrix Ascent Trainer console has a battery that makes it self powered. This means that even if the unit is not plugged in, the console
may still have power for up to 12 hours. If the console power needs to be reset or turned off, press and hold the CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL
DOWN keys for 3-5 seconds until the console turns off. The console power will also need to be reset if settings are changed in Manager,
Engineering, or Service Modes.

CHAPTER 3: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
3.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
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 website, 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). NOTE: Never spray cleaner directly onto the equipment, spray cleaner onto a cloth and then wipe the
equipment.
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. Use your finger to apply grease to the
ball bearing. Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon} additive.
4) Remove the covers, and lubricate the Acme screw on the incline motor (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon}

CHAPTER 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
8.4 TV TROUBLESHOOTING - OVERVIEW
1) For a fuzzy or unclear picture, see the TV programming instructions in Section 10. If the TV is still fuzzy or unclear after programming:
a) Check the coax connection at the entertainment port (Figure A).
b) Remove the 5 screws holding the console to the console mast and check the coax connection at the console (Figure B).
FIGURE A
c) Use a verified good piece of coax cable (a good coax cable will have a signal strength of 10hz or greater) to plug directly into the back
of the console bypassing the entertainment port. If this resolves the issue, replace the internal coax cable.
d) If plugging the coax cable into the back of the console does not resolve the issue, remove the console back and check the console
cable connection at the tuner (Figure C).
e) Check the internal cables and fitting inside your machine at the console and below the front shroud (Figure D). Make sure you have
no kinks, cuts, or poor connectors at the end of the cable. Fittings should have a clean flush connector with no stray aluminum strands touching
the center conductor. Replace any suspect cables.
