RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
Preventative maintenance and daily cleaning will prolong the life and look of your equipment.
SOLUTION: Follow these tips:
• Position the equipment away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on plastics.
• Locate your equipment in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity.
• Clean with a soft 100% cotton cloth.
• Clean with soap and water or other non-ammonia based all purpose cleaners.
• Wipe foot pads, handles, heart rate grips, and handlebars clean after each use.
• Do not pour liquids directly onto your equipment. This can cause damage to the equipment and in some cases electrocution.
• Check pedal motion and stability.
• Adjust leveling feet when equipment wobbles or rocks.
• Maintain a clean area around equipment, free from dust and dirt.
• For cleaning 7xe displays, use distilled water in an atomizer spray bottle. Spray distilled water onto soft, clean, dry cloth and wipe
display until clean and dry. For very dirty displays, adding vinegar is recommended.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
DO NOT use any equipment that is damaged or has worn or broken parts. Use only replacement parts supplied by Matrix Fitness.
MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. Do not remove labels for any reason. They contain important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Matrix Fitness Systems for a replacement. 1-866-693-4863, www.matrixfitness.com
MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT Preventative maintenance is the key to smooth operating equipment. Equipment needs to be
inspected at regular intervals. Defective components must be replaced immediately. Improperly working equipment must be kept out
of use until it is repaired. Ensure that any person(s) making adjustments or performing maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified
to do so. Matrix Fitness Systems will provide service and maintenance training at our corporate facility upon request or in the field if
proper arrangements are made.
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 N-m)
• 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
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
