CHAPTER 1: Important Safety Instructions
2.1 GETTING STARTED
Read the Owner’s Manual before setting up the Matrix Stepper. Place the unit where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.
2.2 CHOOSING A LOCATION
The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Place the S1x on a structurally solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has
a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.
Please do not place the Stepper in an area of high humidity, such as the
vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could
adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a desirable
daily activity for you, the Stepper should be in an attractive setting.
2.3 STABILIZING THE MATRIX STEPPER
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If the Stepper is placed on a slightly,
uneven surface, adjusting the adjustable levelers located underneath the base frame can help, but will
not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. To adjust, loosen the nut, and turn the leveler until
the rocking motion ceases, and both levelers rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the nut.
2.4 UNPACKING THE STEPPER
The Stepper is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in good operating condition.

4.3 ASSEMBLY STEPS
1) Thread the Console Mast through the Console Mast Boot.
2) Feed the cable through the Console Mast. Tape the cable to the top of the
Console Mast to secure it temporarily.
3) Attach the Console Mast to the Base Frame using the bolts (Z01, Z02) and
washers (Z03). Ask your assistant to hold the Console Mast while tighten
screws. Using the #6 L-type Alen Wrench (Z33) tightens the screws
securely.
4) Remove the four mounting bolts from the back of the console with the
Phillips Screwdriver. Plug in the wire harness and the two heart rate wires
to the back of the console. Attach the console to the console mast with the
four bolts removed earlier in this step.
1) Install the rear foot in position at the rear of the stepper with the mat-
ing holes in the frame bracket. Insert the two bolts (Z11) and washers
(Z09) through the frame bracket and rear foot. Using the #5 L-type Allen
Wrench (Z32) tightens the screws securely.

Quick Start is the fastest way to begin exercising and
bypasses the setup prompts. After pressing the QUICK
START key, a constant-level workout begins.
Warm-up is a low-intensity phase that brings the
heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and
increases respiration and blood flow to working
muscles.
Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the
body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise
by-products, which build up in muscles and contrib-
ute to soreness.
Manual is a constant intensity level unless it is
manually changed.
Hill Interval is an efficient workout by alternating work
intervals and recovery intervals.
Random Hill is an interval training workout that
occurs in no regular pattern or progression.
CONSTANT
WATTS
RANDOM
Constant Watts is designed to maintain your watts
expenditure at a constant level by controlling pedal-
ing resistance and prompting you to pedal at a speci-
fied RPM. Watts level may vary above and below your
target watts level during this program.

levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

Target HR is a higher intensity workout for maintain-
ing a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results.
The user must wear a heart rate chest strip, or keep
hands on contact heart rate grips continuously. The
program adjusts the intensity level, based on the
actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of
the theoretical maximum.
Weight Loss is a low-intensity workout for
burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear a
heart rate chest strip, or keep hands on contact heart
rate grips continuously. The program adjusts the
intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to
maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical
maximum.
Fit Test measures cardiovascular fitness and can be
used to monitor improvements in your endurance.

5.4 WORKOUT TIPS
1) Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical examination before beginning any fitness program. Know your
physician-recommended heart rate target zone. If, at any time while exercising, you experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, you must
stop immediately.
2) To mount the stepper, grasp the front stationary handlebars and place your feet on the pedals. When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling. To dis-
mount the elliptical trainer, stop pedaling, grasp the front stationary handlebars and get off the unit.
3) It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm-up and cool-down period into your workout. Warm-up brings the heart rate into the lower
end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool-down takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state
after vigorous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.
