CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure your safety and protect the equipment, read all
instructions before operating the MATRIX R3xe-01 Bike.
To ensure proper use of the Matrix R3xe-01 Bike, make sure
that all users read this manual. Remind the users that before
undertaking any fitness program, they should obtain complete
physical examinations from their physicians. If, at any time while
exercising, the user experiences dizziness, pain, or shortness of
breath, nausea or feels faint, he or she must stop immediately.
* This bike is only to be used for its intended purpose described
in this manual. Do not use attachments that have not been recommended by Matrix.
* Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep hands away
from moving parts. If the item cannot be reached, contact a Matrix
authorized dealer for assistance.

it has been dropped, or has been dropped in water.
* Keep hands and feet clear at all times from moving parts to avoid
injury.
* Do not use this product outdoors, near swimming pools or in areas
of high humidity.
* Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or
when oxygen is being administered.
* Do not use this product in bare feet. Do not wear shoes with heels,

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2.2 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Matrix 3xe Series Recumbent Bike is designed to be self powered. 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 and Virtual Active will not operate correctly. If the Bike will be plugged in, follow the requirements
below.
MATRIX DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO
All Matrix Bikes 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 Bikes into should not have anything else running on that same circuit besides other Bikes (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 Bikes 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 Bike performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Your Bike 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 Bikes can be powered on one dedicated circuit. (3 units per 15 Amp and 4 units per 20 Amp dedicated circuit.)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Matrix R3xe-01 Recumbent Bike 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 Bike 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 Recumbent Bike 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
3.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
Preventative maintenance and daily cleaning will prolong the life and look
of your MATRIX R3xe-01 Bike
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 purpose
cleaners.
* Wipe seats, pedals, console, heart rate grips, and the handlebar clean
after each use.
* Do not pour liquids directly onto your equipment. This can cause dam-
age to the equipment and in some cases electrocution.
* Check pedal straps weekly for wear.
* Adjust leveling feet when equipment wobbles or rocks.
* Maintain a clean area around the equipment, free from dust and dirt.
3.2 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 at
866-693-4863 or www.matrixfitness.com.
MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT. Preventative maintenance is the
key to smoothly operating equipment. Equipment needs to be
inspected at regular intervals. Defective components must be
kept out of use until they are 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.

CHAPTER 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
8.11 TROUBLESHOOTING - HEART RATE ISSUES
HEART RATE FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK OR IS READING INCORRECTLY
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
1) The HR grips are not hooked up correctly.
2) The HR grip wiring is damaged.
3) The console or HR board is not properly grounded.
4) The console, HR board, or wiring between are bad.
SOLUTION:
1) Perform a DC Voltage test on the HR grips.
a. With one prong of a multi meter on each of the plates on one side of the HR grip set (Figure A), a voltage reading of between .5 and 2.0
should be seen. If the reading is correct, the issue is not with the HR grips or grip wiring.
b. If the reading is not correct, remove the screws holding the halves of the HR grip together and check the connection of the wiring to the
grips (Figure B).
2) Remove the console from the unit and verify continuity of the HR grip wiring. With a multi meter set for ohms, place one prong on the HR grip
wiring coming up the console mast (Figure C), and the other on the appropriate plate (match red with red and white with white).
a. An ohm reading of less than 1 should be received. If it is higher, replace the HR grip wiring.
3) Perform a continuity check on the console (See Service Bulletin - Continuity Test on Matrix Bikes).
a. Once the console continuity is confirmed, perform a continuity check on the HR board ground wire. With a multi meter set for ohms, place
one prong on the HR board ground wire (Figure D), and the other on the console ground wire. An ohm reading of less than 1 should be received.
If it is higher, replace the HR board.
4) If all the troubleshooting listed above has been performed, and the unit still has HR issues, replace the HR board.
a. If the HR board does not resolve the issue, replace the console.

8.12 TROUBLESHOOTING - SEAT ISSUES
SEAT WOBBLY OR LOOSE
1) See if the seat rollers are loose or mis-positioned. To adjust the roller to tighten the seat:
a. Loosen the nylok nuts putting tension on the roller brackets (Figure A).
b. Starting at the front set of brackets, use a crescent wrench, channel lock pliers, or a vice grip on the stud sticking out next to the roller
bracket nut to leverage the roller bracket tightly so the chamfered roller is pushed toward the bottom of the running track, and the flat roller is
pushed towards the top of the running track (Figure B).
c. While holding pressure with the screwdriver, fully tighten the nylok nut to hold the roller bracket in place (Figure C).
d. Once the front roller brackets are tight, repeat procedure with the rear roller brackets.
e. Once the roller brackets are tightened, test the seat movement for smooth travel. NOTE: If the seat sticks or is hard to move, the
pressure on the roller brackets may need to be loosened. If the seat is still wobbly or loose, the pressure on the roller brackets may need to be
further tightened.
2) If seat is still wobbly or loose once the roller brackets are tightened, replace the roller brackets.

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.

10.4 ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAPS AND SEAT
ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAPS
The straps are designed to fit your individual foot size and should be adjusted tight enough to keep your foot from slipping. The pedals include
spring loaded clips for easy adjustment. To tighten the strap, pull down the open end of the strap. To loosen the strap, push down on the top of
the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap in place.
ADJUSTING THE R3xe-01 SEAT
While seated on the Matrix R3xe-01 Bike, an optimum position will
allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the
knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend
at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring loaded seat lever
on the right side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat
forward or backward to its desired location. Release the spring
loaded seat lever and gently attempt to rock forward and backward
to assure it is locked in place. Check the seat distance again and
re-adjust it if necessary. If the seat is wobbly or loose, tighten the
seat roller brackets using the procedure outlined in Section 8.12.

CHAPTER 10: BIKE SPECIFICATIONS AND ASSEMBLY GUIDE
10.5 LEVELING THE BIKE
STABILIZING THE MATRIX R3XE-01 BIKE
After positioning the bike in its intended location, check its stability by attempting to shake it side to side. Shaking or wobbling indicates that
your bike needs to be leveled. Determine which leveler is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the nut with one hand to allow the leveler
to rotate. Rotate the left or right leveler, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the bike is stable. Lock the adjustment by tightening the
nut against the rear foot support.
