4.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS

Use a soft, clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use paper towels to clean surfaces on the tread­mill. Paper towels are abrasive and can surfaces.
Use a mild soap and damp cloth. DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner. This will cause
discoloring of the aluminum and plastics it comes into contact with.
Do not pour water or cleaning solutions on any surface. This could cause electrocution.
Wipe the console and side rails after every use.
Brush away any wax deposits from the deck and belt area. This is a common occurrence
until the wax is worked into the belt material.
Be sure to remove any obstructions from the path of the elevation wheels including
power cords.
Monthly, unplug the treadmill and remove the motor cover. Check for debris and clean
with a dry cloth or small vacuum nozzle. WARNING Do not plug the treadmill in until
the motor cover has been reinstalled.

CAUTION This unit weighs 450 lbs / 204 kgs. Be sure to have proper assistance to install
and move the unit in order to avoid injury to you or the unit.

4.2 DECK AND BELT REPLACEMENT

One of the most common wear and tear items on a treadmill is the Deck and Belt combina­tion. If these two items are not properly maintained they can cause damage to other com­ponents. This product has been provided with the most advanced maintenance free lubri­cating system on the market.

WARNING Do not run the treadmill while cleaning the belt and deck. This can cause seri­ous injury and can damage the machine.

Maintain the belt and deck by wiping the sides of the belt and deck with a clean cloth. The
user can also wipe under the belt 2 inches on both sides removing any dust or debris.

The deck can be flipped and reinstalled with a new only by an authorized service techni­cian. Please contact Matrix Fitness Systems for more information.

4.3 ADJUSTING THE BELT

After locating the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be checked for prop­er tension and centering. The belt might need to be adjusted after the first two hours of
use. Temperature, humidity, and use cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt
starts to slip when a user is on it, be sure to follow the directions below.

4.0 MAINTENANCE

7

Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill. The bolts are located
at each end of the frame at the back of the treadmill. These bolts adjust the rear
belt roller. Do not adjust until the treadmill is on. This will prevent over tighten­ing of one side.
The belt should have equal distance on either side between the frame. If the belt
is touching one side, do not start the treadmill. Turn the bolts counter clockwise
approximately one full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing the
belt from side to side. Tighten the bolts the same amount as when the user loos­ened them approximately one full turn. Inspect the belt for damage.
While the treadmill is running at 3 mph, observe the belt position. If it is moving
to the right, tighten the right bolt by turning it clockwise ⁄ turn, and loosen the left
bolt ⁄ turn. If it is moving to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it clockwise
⁄ turn and loosen the right ⁄ turn. Repeat Step 3 until the belt remains centered
for several minutes.
Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very snug. When a person walks
or runs on the belt it should not hesitate or slip. If this occurs, tighten the belt
by turning both bolts clockwise ⁄ turn. Repeat if necessary.

5.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAMS

The Matrix treadmill the user has selected comes with 6 preprogrammed workouts. Quick
Start allows the user to get to the workout with the touch of one button. Manual allows the
user to input the correct information for accurate calorie calculations and easy program
switching on the fly. Intervals, Rolling, and Fat Burn use selected levels to challenge any
user. Press Random for more program profiles. Target Heart Rate uses the inputted target
heart rate to adjust for the duration of the workout and includes a 5 minute 2 level reduc­tion cool down.

5.2 RUN TIME PROGRAM SCREENS DESCRIPTIONS

STARTING 3.2.1 SCREEN

This screen is the countdown screen for starting a program.

DOT MATRIX Countdown text STARTING "3…2…1" is displayed in the dot matrix. A beep
is produced for every change in count. The belt will start moving a few seconds after the
"1" appears.

RUN TIME SCREEN-MANUAL PROGRAM

This screen is the manual program running screen. The user controls all functions. There
is an oval track set to the total time of the program. A distance motivational message will
appear every _mile and an amber dot will remain at that point of time on the track.

DOT MATRIX A manual track with the_mile indicators. The spent time is displayed in green,
the un-used in red and the current segment blinks in amber. Every _mile the current
mileage is displayed on the dot matrix and the segment that the_mile change took place
remains solid amber.

RUN TIME SCREEN-LEVEL BASED PROGRAMS

(INTERVAL, ROLLING INTERVAL, FAT BURN AND RANDOM)

Level based programs have similar functions except for the program in use. Level based
programs take the number of LED's illuminated in a column of the current graphic and
translate them to an elevation based upon current level. When changing between programs,
the elevation will change to the current programs elevation after five seconds or when the
segment changes, whichever is first.

DOT MATRIX Level based graphics consist of expired columns (green), current column
(flashing amber), and pending columns (red). Each column height corresponds to a poten­tial change in elevation depending upon the level setting.

ALPHA NUMERIC

NORMAL Calories and Pace
HR PRESENT Calories and Current HR (HR symbol flashes in response to heart rate).
LEVEL CHANGES Temporary display of text "LEVEL XX" with XX being the current level.

KEYS

ELEVATION UP/DOWN Increases/decreases level. Value displayed in the elevation win-

dow will change when change in level for given LED's displayed change the elevation.

SPEED UP/DOWN KEYS Increases/decreases speed.
PROGRAM KEYS Change to selected program (except HR), displays "reset for HR" mes-

sage if HR key.

STOP KEY (PRESSED) Jumps to pause screen.
ENTERTAINMENT KEYS Entertainment key functions are active.
NUMERIC ENTRY KEYS Edits the current speed after a selection is made and enter is

pressed.

WARM-UP SCREEN

(HEART RATE PROGRAM ONLY)

This screen operates as a manual program for the warm up period. Initial warm up will be
2 minutes and any pause in program will be 1 minute (or until heart rate is within 10 BPM
of goal heart rate). During the warm-up the user will be prompted to increase the active
variable (speed or elevation). If the active variable is greater than_the maximum value set
in the pre-program section the user will be prompted to increase the alternate variable. A
prompt will indicate the user is approaching the target heart rate.

DOT MATRIX A manual track without the _mile amber dot indicators.

IMPORTANT MESSAGES

Starting Warm up message at the beginning of the warm-up.
Increase elevation or speed message depending upon the level of the active variable.
Approaching Target Heart Rate message, as the heart rate stabilizes within 10 BPM of
the target.
Reset for programs message (change from heart rate to other programs not allowed using
program keys).

KEYS

RUN TIME SCREEN - HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Heart rate program alters the "active variable" (either speed or elevation) in to maintain the
goal heart rate. The active variable can be altered from its minimum value to the maximum
value specified by the user during the pre-programs. If the active variable is at a limit and
additional change to the workout is required the useris prompted to increase/decrease the
alternate variable.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES

Safety - When the user hart reate exceeds the target heart rate by the below values, the fol­lowing prompts/actions will take place:
10 BPM - Warning in alpha numeric indicating active variable will be reduced (if above min­imum) or alternate variable will be reduced.
12 BPM - Active variable (if above minimum) or alternate variable reduced by 30%.
15 BPM - Warning indicating heart rate over maximum and program will end.
20 BPM - Program ends.

DOT MATRIX A graphic displaying a heart with its position relative to the relationship
between the measureed heart rate vs. goal heart rate (goal heart rate in center of the screen
in green). Two vertical bears indicated the lower and upper limits Heart graphic portions
located between the upper and lower limit are green. Portions below the lower limit are illu­minated amber and portions above are illuminated red.
