The Matrix E5x-02 Elliptical Trainer is designed to be self powered
and does not require an external power supply source to operate.
However, these units can be AC powered if an optional power cord
is purchased. This will power the console at all times and requires
no minimum RPM for operation. These units can be daisy chained
together, up to 4 units per dedicated 15 amp circuit, using a Matrix
daisy chain cord adapter (sold separately).
For your safety and for the performance of your Matrix Elliptical
Trainer, the ground on your circuits must be non looped. Please refer
to NEC articles 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard
Matrix power cords will void all warranties.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Matrix E5x-02 Elliptical Trainer must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The Elliptical Trainer 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. If the
user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could
void the Matrix limited warranty.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if the user is 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 an
electrician
