The cycle tune-up must be performed at initial installation of the Matrix E-Series for optimal performance and
longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below. If the Matrix E-Series is not installed and tuned as
described, components may wear excessively and the Matrix E-Series may become damaged. If you have
questions about the installation, please contact [email protected].
Note: Some maintenance procedures require acid-, silicone- and solvent free spray lubricant (for exa-
mple BRUNOX), and White Lithium grease.
1. Make sure that the Matrix E-Series is level. If the Matrix E-Series rocks on the oor,
turn the leveling feet underneath the front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is elimina
ted.
2. Verify Emergency brake function to assure that emergency brake functions correctly.
3. Brake pad calibration: Turn resistance knob counterclockwise as far as possible (minimum bra-
king effect), verify that there is a slight separation of the brake pad from ywheel. Brake pad should
barely touch the ywheel when resistance knob is turned counter-clockwise as far as it can go.
4. Apply spray lubricant to the brake pad using the lubrication holes on the plastic part or the brake
pad and externally on the felt pad. Make sure brake pad is thoroughly soaked from end to end with
lubricant spray. Then, wipe the excess off from the ywheel.
* Best Practice: Use a rellable spray bottle lled with non-aerosol acid-, silicone- and solvent
free spray lubricant purchased by the gallon (3.7 L) at the local hardware store.
5. Apply Lithium grease to the threads on the lower end of the brake rod. First, turn the Resistance
knob clockwise until it stops. Apply a small amount of white lithium grease to the threads on the
brake rod above the two lock nuts. Then, turn the resistance knob counter-clockwise until it stops.
6. Apply Lithium grease on the metal threads of all the adjustment knobs.
7. Verify four (4) Allen nuts on RS pulley for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242
and retighten.
8. Verify R and L crank arm Allen bolts for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242 and
retighten.
9. Verify belt tension. Check if belt drive is rmly tightened and does not slip while riding under resis-
tance load. In case that the belt slips, proceed using the adjustment technique as described on
page (17). Please note that a belt drive gear never shows slack. In case of adjustment do
not apply too much tension.
10. Wipe down bike frame with rag moistened with solvent free spray lubricant
11. Some parts of the Matrix E-Series may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms,
check all exposed screws, bolts, and nuts, and make sure that they are properly tightened.
Customer Service
1. Provide basic maintenance instructions to client and direct them to detailed maintenance instruc-
tions (page 13-19 )
2. Sign-off sheet provided to client to conrm explanation of maintenance procedures/manual and
verication of condition of bikes?

INITIAL INSTALL CHECKS

HOW TO ADJUST THE Matrix E-Series
The Matrix E-Series can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The
instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the Matrix E-Series to ensure opti-
mal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the Matrix E-Serie
cycle differently.
Pedal strap adjustment:
Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals, with the balls of your feet
directly above the spindles of the pedals (see the drawing below). Adjust the pedal
straps so the toe clips (cages) are snug but not too tight. Note: In the case of a Bike
being  tted with Combi-pedals, the pedals feature toe clips on one surface and SPD
cleats on the opposite surface. If desired, use the shoe cleats with cycling shoes
instead of the toe clips.
Saddle height adjustment:
Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal until the right pedal is in the lowest position. Your knees
should be slightly bent without a dropping of the hips.
To avoid hyper extending your knees, make sure that your legs are not completely
straight.
Please do not adjust
handlebar height beyond
the STOP mark on the stem
and ensure the pop pin is
fully engaged and securely
tightened (see page 7).
Please do not adjust saddle
height beyond the STOP
mark on the stem
and ensure the pop pin is
fully engaged and securely
tightened (see page 6).
Please avoid overtightening the pop pin adjustment knob as this may cause dama-
ges to the vertical aluminum stems.

Saddle horizontal adjustment:
Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in avoiding injury to the knees.
Sit on the saddle and move the pedals until the crank arms are in horizontal position.
Using your forward most leg as a marker, your kneecap should be directly above the
center of the pedal so that a straight line is created between knee and center of the
pedal (see the dotted line in image below). To adjust the horizontal position of the
saddle, rst dismount the Matrix E-Series. Next, loosen the rear adjustment knob, slide
the saddle forward or backward as required, and then retighten the knob.
