CHAPTER 1: Important Safety Instructions CHAPTER 2: Preventative Maintenance 1.5 DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO 2.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS All Matrix Ascent Trainers require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp “dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power requirement.
CHAPTER 2: Preventative Maintenance 2.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 2.4 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST 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.
CHAPTER 3: Using Manager Preference 3.1 USING MANAGER PREFERENCE MODE 3.2 USING CSAFE Your Matrix Elliptical is designed to allow you to customize settings for your preferences and diagnostics. The Manager Mode can only be accessed while the Elliptical is powered up. Follow the instructions to adjust the Elliptical computer to your desired setting.

CHAPTER 4: Using The E3xc Console 4.1 CONSOLE DESCRIPTION 4.2 MANUAL OPERATION QUICK START: start pedaling and press “GO” to being your workout. All energy expenditure values will be calculated using the default weight measurement. MANUAL MODE: Manual is a workout that allows you to manually adjust the resistance at any time. The manual workout also contains a setup screen which allows you to input your weight to help calculate a more accurate caloric burn rate. • Press “MANUAL”.
CHAPTER 4: Using The E3xc Console 4.5 FIT TEST This test measures cardiovascular fitness and proves an estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based on power output according to ACSM standards and was developed by the Cooper Institute (© www.cooperinstitute.org) User RPMs must remain between 60-80 RPM during the test. The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this speed. Use of a heart rate strap is optional but provides more data.
CHAPTER 4: Using The E3xc Console 4.6 HEART RATE CONTROL 4.7 CONSTANT WATTS Your Matrix Ascent Trainer / Elliptical offers a heart rate control workout mode. The heart rate control workout mode allows the user to program their desired heart rate zone and the machine will adjust the resistance automatically based on the user’s heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using the following equation: (220-Age)*% = target heart rate zone.
CHAPTER 5: Using The A3x Console 5.1 CONSOLE DESCRIPTION 5.2 INCLINE FUNCTION (ASCENT TRAINER ONLY) All programs follow the same basic steps. Changing the incline will produce a wide variety of challenging workouts. At 0 incline, you can expect a smooth, easy and low-impact pedal motion. At higher incline levels, longer stride and higher step-up challenge the user with a more focused glute workout. • Select program key. • Enter user information (age, weight). • Choose workout time.
CHAPTER 5: Using The A3x Console 5.3 QUICK START 5.5 USER DEFINED PROGRAMS - ROLLING, INTERVAL, FATBURN & RANDOM Press to immediately begin workout. Workout, resistance level and incline level will automatically go to default settings (see manager mode for default settings). QUICK START will not prompt the user for age, weight or level settings. RANDOM - there are 20 workout profiles in RANDOM mode. Profile will change each time RANDOM key is pressed.
CHAPTER 5: Using The A3x Console 5.6 FIT TEST This test measures cardiovascular fitness and proves an estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based on power output according to ACSM standards and was developed by the Cooper Institute (© www.cooperinstitute.org) User RPMs must remain between 60-80 RPM during the test. Percentile Values for Maximal Aerobic Power Age Percentile 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+ Men The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this speed.
CHAPTER 5: Using The A3x Console 5.7 TARGET HR 5.8 CONSTANT WATTS The A3x has digital contact and wireless heart rate monitoring capabilities as standard equipment. Resistance level is set by the user and constantly changes to reflect stride speed. As stride speed (SPM) increases, resistance decreases while output wattage stays the same. In turn, if stride speed decreases then resistance increases. • To use heart rate monitor, locate the metal sensors located on the fixed handlebars.
CHAPTER 6: Programming & Engineering Mode 6.1 USING MANAGER MODE 6.2 MANAGER SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS • To enter manager mode, hold the UP and DOWN level keys for three seconds until “MANAGER” appears on the middle LED display. • P0: Maximum progam time Sets the total run time of any program.
