IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS When using a treadmill, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this treadmill. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill 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.
DANGER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Always unplug the treadmill 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 •• Incorrect or excessive exercise may cause injury.
•• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• WARNING Children over the age of 14 or disabled persons should not use the treadmill without adult supervision. Use the treadmill only for its intended use as described in the treadmill guide and owner’s manual. Do not use other attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Attachments may cause injury.
DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit. The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The treadmill is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. WARNING Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
TREADMILL ASSEMBLY WARNING 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 treadmill could have parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises.

LOCATION & SETUP 19
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL Place the treadmill on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your treadmill in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone behind the treadmill that is at least the width of the treadmill and at least 79” (2000 mm) long. This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine.
LEVELING THE TREADMILL Use of shim or adding leveling foot. NOTE: It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. An unbalanced unit may cause belt misalignment or other issues. Use of a level is recommended. Remove the leveling shim provided on the underside of the treadmill. The shim can be found mounted on the underside of the right hand side rail. Remove the rear foot on the side of the treadmill that is resting low.
TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT After placing the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be checked for proper tension and centering. The belt might need to be adjusted after the first two hours of use. Temperature, humidity, and use cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt starts to slip when a user is on it, be sure to follow the directions below. 1) Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE 25
RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS DECK AND BELT REPLACEMENT 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 treadmill. Paper towels are abrasive and can damage surfaces. One of the most common wear and tear items on a treadmill is the deck and belt combination. If these two items are not properly maintained they can cause damage to other components.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS CARE AND MAINTENANCE DO NOT use any equipment that is damaged or has worn or broken parts. Use only replacement parts supplied by Matrix Fitness Systems. HOW DO I CLEAN MY MACHINE? 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 or an authorized service provider.
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.
TREADMILL OPERATION 29
CAUTION – RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt. Place your feet on the side rails before starting the treadmill. Start walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move. Never start the treadmill at a fast running speed and attempt to jump on! In case of an emergency, place both hands on the side arm rests to hold yourself up and place your feet onto the side rails.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION Your 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.
