CHAPTER 1: Important Safety Instructions

2.1 GETTING STARTED

Read the Owner’s Manual before setting up the Matrix Stepper. Place the unit where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.

2.2 CHOOSING A LOCATION

The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Place the S1x on a structurally solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has
a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.

Please do not place the Stepper in an area of high humidity, such as the
vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could
adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a desirable
daily activity for you, the Stepper should be in an attractive setting.

2.3 STABILIZING THE MATRIX STEPPER

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If the Stepper is placed on a slightly,
uneven surface, adjusting the adjustable levelers located underneath the base frame can help, but will
not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. To adjust, loosen the nut, and turn the leveler until
the rocking motion ceases, and both levelers rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the nut.

2.4 UNPACKING THE STEPPER

The Stepper is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in good operating condition.
Matrix Fitness ships the unit in the following pieces:

5.4 WORKOUT TIPS

1) Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical examination before beginning any fitness program. Know your

physician-recommended heart rate target zone. If, at any time while exercising, you experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, you must
stop immediately.

2) To mount the stepper, grasp the front stationary handlebars and place your feet on the pedals. When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling. To dis-

mount the elliptical trainer, stop pedaling, grasp the front stationary handlebars and get off the unit.

3) It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm-up and cool-down period into your workout. Warm-up brings the heart rate into the lower

end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool-down takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state
after vigorous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.

5.5 WORKOUT SETUP STEPS
