RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
Preventative maintenance and daily cleaning will prolong the life and look of your equipment.
A Use a soft, clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use paper towels to clean surfaces on the ascent trainer or suspension elliptical.
Paper towels are abrasive and can damage surfaces.
B Use a mild soap and damp cloth. DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner or alcohol. This will cause discoloring of the
aluminum and plastics it comes into contact with.
C Do not pour water or cleaning solutions on any surface. This could cause electrocution.
D Wipe the console, heart rate grip, handles, foot pads and handlebars after each use.
For cleaning LCD 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.
CAUTION: Be sure to have proper assistance to install and move the unit in order to avoid injury or damage.
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 Customer Tech
Support at the number listed on the CONTACT INFORMATION page included with the OWNER’S MANUAL.
MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT
Preventative maintenance is the key to smooth operating equipment, as well as keeping the user’s liability to a minimum.
Maintain a clean area around the equipment, free from dust and dirt. 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
HOW DO I CLEAN MY MACHINE?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents
on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your unit and its operating
environment will keep maintenance problems and service
calls to a minimum. For this reason, Customer Tech Support
recommends that the following preventive maintenance
schedule be followed.
DAILY
• Unplug the unit. Clean entire machine using water and
a mild soap or other Matrix approved solution (cleaning
agents should be alcohol and ammonia free).
• Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged,
contact Customer Tech Support.
• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the unit or in
any other area where it can become pinched or cut during
storage or use.
QUARTERLY
• Check all connecting joint areas for tightness of
bolt assemblies.
• 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.
• Unplug the unit and remove plastic covers. Lubricate ball
joint where the Link Arm and Dual Action 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).
• Unplug the unit and remove plastic covers. Lubricate
Acme screw on incline motor (Matrix recommends using
Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon} additive).
• For 7xe consoles, enter service mode and select ‘test’.
Select ‘touch calibration’ and then select ‘start’. Follow the
on-screen prompts and touch the screen where indicated.
To remove power from the Ascent
Trainer / Elliptical, the power cord must
be disconnected from the wall outlet.
