4. Keep the bike indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not place the indoor cycle in a garage or

covered patio or near water.

5. Place the indoor cycle on a level surface. To protect the oor or carpet from damage, place a mat beneath the indoor cycle. Make sure that there is adequate room around the indoor cycle to mount, dismount, and operate it.

6. Regularly inspect and properly tighten all parts of the indoor cycle as recommended in this manual. Please replace defective parts immediately and do not use the bike until repair is performed. Only use original parts from the manufacturer.

7. Children under the age of 14 should only be allowed use of the indoor cycle with parental consent and guided by a specially trained instructor.

The cycle tune-up must be performed at initial installation of the indoor cycle for optimal performance and longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below. If the indoor cycle is not installed and tuned as described, components may wear excessively and the cycle may become damaged. If you have questions about the installation, please contact us by using by using the website www.matrixtness.com.

Note: Some maintenance procedures require acid, silicone and solvent free spray lubricant

(for example BRUNOX), and White Lithium grease.

1. Make sure that the Matrix V Series is level. If the Matrix V Series rocks on the oor, turn the leveling feet underneath the front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

2. Verify emergency brake function to assure that emergency brake functions correctly.

3. Brake pad calibration: turn resistance knob counterclockwise as far as possible (minimum braking effect),

verify that there is a slight separation of the brake pad from ywheel. Brake pad should barely touch the ywheel when resistance knob is turned counter-clockwise as far as it can go.

4. Apply WD40 or Brunox spray lubricant to the brake pad using the lubrication holes on the plastic part or the brake pad and externally on the felt pad. Make sure brake pad is thoroughly soaked from end to end with lubricant spray. Then, wipe the excess off from the ywheel.

* Best Practice: Use a rellable spray bottle lled with non-aerosol acid, silicone and solvent free spray lubricant purchased by the gallon (3.7 L) at the local hardware store.

5. Apply lithium grease to the threads on the lower end of the brake rod. First, turn the resistance knob clockwise until it stops. Apply a small amount of white lithium grease to the threads on the brake rod above the two lock nuts. Then, turn the resistance knob counter-clockwise until it stops.

6. Apply lithium grease on the metal threads of all the adjustment levers.

7. Verify four (4) Allen nuts on RS pulley for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242 and retighten.

8. Verify R and L crank arm Allen bolts for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242 and retighten.

9. Verify belt tension. Check if belt drive is rmly tightened and does not slip while riding under resisted load. In case the belt slips, proceed using the adjustment technique as described on page (17). Please note that a belt drive gear never shows slack. In case of adjustment do not apply too much tension.

10. Wipe down bike frame with rag moistened with solvent free spray lubricant.

11. Some parts of the cycle may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms, check all exposed

screws, bolts, and nuts, and make sure that they are properly tightened.

Customer Service

1. Provide basic maintenance instructions to client and direct them to the detailed maintenance instructions (page 18).

2. Sign-off sheet provided to client to conrm explanation of maintenance procedures/manual and verication of condition of bikes.

INITIAL INSTALL CHECKS

Matrix_V-Series_bike_1.6.indd 8 1/11/13 10:15 AM

HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE

The cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the cycle to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the cycle differently.

Pedal strap adjustment:

Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals, with the balls of your feet directly above the spindles of the pedals (see the drawing below). Adjust the pedal straps so the toe clips (cages) are snug but not too tight. Note: In the case of a Bike being tted with Combi-pedals, the pedals feature toe clips on one surface and SPD cleats on the opposite surface. If desired, use the shoe cleats with cycling shoes instead of the toe clips.

Saddle height adjustment:

Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal until the right pedal is in the lowest position. Your knees should be slightly bent without a dropping of the hips.

To avoid hyper extending your knees, make sure that your legs are not completely straight.

Please do not adjust handlebar height beyond the STOP mark on the stem and ensure the pop pin is fully engaged and securely

tightened (see page 7). Please do not adjust saddle height beyond the STOP mark on the stem and ensure the pop pin is fully engaged and securely tightened (see page 7).

Please avoid overtightening the pop pin adjustment knob as this may cause damage to the vertical aluminum stems.
