if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Return the unit to a service
center for examination and repair.
• Do not carry this unit by it’s supply cord or use the cord as a handle.
• Keep any power cord away from heated surfaces.
• Close supervision is necessary when elliptical is used by or near children or
disable persons.
• Do not use outdoors

1.4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - ELLIPTICAL
The Matrix elliptical has 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 daisychain 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.
1.5 DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO - ASCENT
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.
2.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
Preventative maintenance and daily cleaning will prolong the life and look of your
MATRIX Ascent Trainer or Elliptical.
Please read and follow these tips.
• Positiontheequipmentawayfromdirectsunlight.TheintenseUVlightcan
cause discoloration on plastics.
• Locateyourequipmentinanareawithcooltemperaturesandlowhumidity.
• Cleanwithasoft100%cottoncloth.

• Maintainacleanareaaroundequipment,freefromdustanddirt.
2.2 CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
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. 1-866-693-4863, 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.

1.6 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The elliptical must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The elliptical is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding 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 conduc-
tor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman 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 a qualified technician.

2.3 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
Vacuumcleanerw/extendablehoseandcrevassetoolattachment
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).
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 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 Acme screw on left and right incline
motors (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE
{Teflon} additive). See section 9.11 for incline motor access instructions.
