The cycle tune-up must be performed at initial installation of the indoor cycle for optimal performance and
longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below. If the indoor cycle is not installed and tuned as
described, components may wear excessively and the indoor cycle may become damaged. If you have
questions about the installation, please contact matrix customer service www.matrixtness.com
Note: Some maintenance procedures require acid-, silicone- and solvent-free spray lubricant (for
example, BRUNOX) and white lithium grease.
1. Make sure that the indoor cycle is level. If the indoor cycle rocks on the oor, turn the
leveling feet underneath the front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
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 counterclockwise 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. Wipe the excess from the ywheel.
* Best Practice: Use a rellable 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 counterclockwise until it stops.
6. Apply Lithium grease on the metal threads of all the adjustment knobs.
7. Check four (4) Allen bolts 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. Wipe down bike frame with rag moistened with solvent-free spray lubricant
10. Some parts of the indoor cycle may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms and check
all exposed screws, bolts and nuts, and make sure that they are properly tightened.
