IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS When using a Stepper, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this product. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this product are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions. If you have any questions after reading this guide, contact Customer Tech Support at the number listed on the back panel of the OWNER’S MANUAL. This product is intended for commercial use.
DANGER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet immediately after using, before cleaning, performing maintenance and putting on or taking off parts. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS: 4 •• An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug the entertainment equipment from outlet when not in use and before putting on or taking off parts.
WARNING •• Do not use other attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Attachments may cause injury. •• Disconnect all power before servicing or moving the equipment. To clean, wipe surfaces down with soap and slightly damp cloth only; never use solvents. (See MAINTENANCE) •• The unit should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, and before putting on or taking off parts. •• Do not operate under blanket or pillow.
CAUTION CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. READ OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USE. It is essential that your unit is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your unit has been exposed to colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that the unit is warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.
110 V UNITS All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V Steppers require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a nonlooped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 5-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Steppers can be daisychained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
BATTERY CHARGE (3X, 5X ONLY) The Stepper saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode whenever STEP FASTER appears on the display. If the user does not maintain a step rate above 35 steps per minute, then a 30-second shutdown process begins. When the battery voltage is low, LOW BATTERY appears on the display if the unit is moving into the shutdown mode.
STEPPER ASSEMBLY WARNING FRAME SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION There are several areas during the assembly process that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the unit could have parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises.

LOCATION & SETUP 19
LOCATION OF THE UNIT Place the unit on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your unit in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone behind the unit that is at least 24” (600 mm). This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine. Do not place the unit in any area that will block any vent or air openings.
TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE 21
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 stepper. 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.
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 stepper 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.
MATRIX ASSET MANAGEMENT The Asset Management system is a feature available on all 5x, 7x, 7xe, and 7xi machines designed to allow remote monitoring of cardio equipment. This web-based feature provides users with the ability to log in from anywhere with internet connectivity and check on the status of all their equipment. The site provides information including serial numbers, time/distance totals, software versions, and a history of any error codes that the unit has shown.
STEPPER OPERATION 25
POWER If your unit is powered by a power supply, the power must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some units have a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. Unplug cord when not in use. WARNING Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for examination and repair.
PROPER USAGE Your unit offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad. The pedal motion is dependent.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION The unit is equipped with heart rate pulse grips. The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap.
WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console. Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout.
