ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The Matrix equipment has different electrical requirements depending on the model chosen. The chart below should assist you with
your facility planning:

5x / 7x / 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.

DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO

All Matrix units 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 into should not have anything else running on that same 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 units 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If a unit should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product 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 local
codes and ordinances.

Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.

Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working
properly. Never operate any product if it appears damaged, or has been
immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.

WARNING

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are 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 a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 100-240Vac circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.

This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and
observe if any other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit.

Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional help if
necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in injury.

LEVELING THE UNIT

Locate a level, stable surface
to position the equipment.
The equipment has leveling
transport wheels located under
the ‘CONTROL ZON E’ cover.
To access grab the left and
right sides of the cover and
lift off. CAUTION There is an
electrical plug located under
the cover and will need to be
unplugged before the cover can
be completely removed. With
the CONTROL ZON E cover
removed adjust the transport
wheels until stable and lock
wheels into place. Once stable
plug the electrical connection
back together and place the
CONTROL ZON E cover back
into place.

MOUNTING THE
CLIMBMILL

Stand directly behind the
ClimbMill. Grasp either the
upper or lower handle bars
and step onto the ClimbMill
until you are within comfortable
reach of the console and remote
handlebar controls.

LOCATION OF THE UNIT

Place the unit on a level surface. There should be 3 feet of clearance behind the unit and
one foot in front for the power cord. Do not place the unit in any area that will block any
vent or air openings. These products should not be located in a garage, covered patio,
near water or outdoors.

Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech
Support for examination and repair.

POWER

If your unit is powered by a power supply, the power must be plugged into the power
jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some units have
a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. Unplug
cord when not in use. NOTE: Some units have an ON/OFF switch located behind
the console.

HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

The ClimbMill adds 30” – 38” (76cm – 96) to a user’s height. For example, a 6’ (183cm)
tall user will be 7’ 8” – 8’ 4” (234.4cm – 254.4cm) off of the floor. Total height of the
user on the ClimbMill should not exceed 9’ 10” (300cm), which means users taller than
6’ 8” (204cm) should not use this equipment.

WARNING

WARNING

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical
device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative
estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be
relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some
people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may
benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring
system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors,
including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy
of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.

PULSE GRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse
handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate
to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds)
for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse
handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may
elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the
grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to
ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

FIT TESTS

WFI

The WFI (Wellness Fitness Initiative) protocol is a test used by firefighters to evaluate aerobic fitness capacity as part of
pre-employment testing and annual fitness testing. This assessment is a series of intervals lasting a maximum of 16 minutes, where
the speed is increased every minute until the Target Heart Rate is exceeded for 15 seconds. When the test is complete, the display
provides a summary of VO2max, Highest SPM, Elapsed Time and Target Heart Rate. This is a speed-dependent program.

The test requires constant monitoring of the user’s heart rate so the use of a telemetric chest strap is highly encouraged.

To enter into this workout on a 5x, use the following guidelines:

1) Choose FIT TEST by selecting the Fit Test workout button and press ENTER.

2) Enter user age using the ARROW KEYS or the NU MBER KEYPAD and press ENTER.

3) Enter user weight using the ARROW KEYS or the NU MBER KEYPAD and press ENTER.

4) Enter user height using the ARROW KEYS or the NU MBER KEYPAD and press ENTER.

To enter into this workout on a 7x or 7xe, follow the onscreen prompts.

SUBMAXI MAL

This test measures cardiovascular fitness and provides an
estimated Sub-maximal VO2max result. This assessment
is a 4 stage test lasting 3-5 minutes, where the speed
is increased until your Heart Rate is held between
115-150bpm for 2 of the stages. When the test is
complete, a Fitness Rating is displayed as High, Good,
Average, Fair or Low along with your age and VO2max.

The test requires constant monitoring of the user’s
heart rate so the use of a telemetric chest strap is
highly encouraged. This is a speed-dependent program.

To enter into this workout on a 5x, use the following
guidelines:

1) Choose FIT TEST by selecting the Fit Test workout
button and press ENTER.
