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, www.
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 MUST be
alcohol and ammonia free).
2) Check the emergency stop button and cord for proper operation.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Inspect power cord for damage, inspect hand grip areas, and inspect
emergency stop button and cord for proper operation..
2) Check running belt for proper tension, adjust if needed.
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove front plastic cover, and vacuum entire inside area of machine.
Be careful when working aournd the lower pc board not to bump any
wires or connections loose..
2) Check drive belt for visible wear, ie., cracking, tears, etc. Belt
should be replaced if there are any visible signs of damage. Proper
alignment of the pulley/tensioner should be verified at this time as
well..
3) Remove plastic hood at the front of the machine. Start the unit and raise
incline setting to maximum height. Turn power switch off at the front of
the machine to prevent it from lowering accidentally. Lubricate incline
motor Acme screw (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease
with PTFE (Teflon) additive).
BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove wax build up from front and rear rollers of the machine.
2) Inspect underside of running belt for damage, check for cracking or
glazed surfaces.
3) If the belt has damage or wear to it that warrants replacement, please
note that the running deck must also be flipped when a new belt is
installed. If the deck has previously been flipped and no longer has
an unused side available, it need to be replaced when the new belt is
installed. A new belt must ALWAYS be installed to run on a new deck
surface in order to maximize the lifespan of both items.
4) During normal operating conditions, the running belt replacement and
deck service should be done every 25,000 miles.
