service technician
It is essential that your treadmill is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your treadmill has been exposed to colder
temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that the treadmill is warmed up to room temperature before
first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure. The initial (default) starting speed is 0.5mph (0.8 km/h).
The default starting speed set too high can be dangerous.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
For your safety and to ensure good treadmill performance, the
ground on this circuit must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC
article 210-21 and 210-23. Your Treadmill is provided with a
power cord with a plug listed below and requires the listed outlet.
Any alterations of this power cord could void all warranties of this
product.

220 NEMA 6-20R 220 NEMA 6-20R
North American power cord plugs shown. Depending on your country, the plug type may vary.
DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
All Matrix units require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp “dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this 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.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it,
and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that
will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100 ft or less,
then 12 gauge wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must
be used.

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. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix
limited warranty.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears
damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.
WARNING
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.

that the 110-volt treadmill is connected to an outlet, NEMA 5-20R, having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this product.
220V UNITS
The Matrix T5x, T7x and T7xe 220 treadmill is for use on a nominal 220-volt circuit and has a non-looped grounding plug. Make sure

BASIC OPERATION

LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL
Place the treadmill on a level and stable surface. 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. 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. For ease of access, there should
be an accessible space preferentially on both sides of the treadmill equal to 36” (915 mm) to allow a user
access to the treadmill from either side. Do not place the treadmill in any area that will block any vent or air
openings. The treadmill should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.
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!
USING THE SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the stop button is reset. Attach the clip end securely to your clothing.
This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation of the
safety key every 2 weeks.
Never use the treadmill without securing the safety key clip to your clothing. Pull on the safety key clip first to make sure it
will not come off your clothing.
PROPER USAGE
Your treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and adjust the speed in small increments
to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. When not in use turn the on/off switch to off
and unplug the power cord. Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE schedule in this guide to maintain optimal performance and
prevent premature electronic failure. Keep your body and head facing forward. Do not attempt to turn around or look backwards
while the treadmill is running. Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain, faint, dizzy or are short of breath.
