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

Vacuum cleaner w/extendable hose and crevasse tool attachment

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.
