before cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock or
injury to persons that may be associated with using this product.
An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before putting on or tak-
ing off parts.
This product must be used for its intended purpose described in this
service manual. Do not use other attachments that are not recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Attachments may cause injury.
To prevent electrical shock, never drop or insert any object into any
opening.

4
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..
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MATRIX DEDICATED CIRCUIT / ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENT INFO
All Matrix treadmills require the use of a 20 amp "dedicated
circuit":, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral / ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug
your treadmill 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 is the treadmill. 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 feet or
less, then 12 gauge wire may be used. For any distance greater
than 100 feet from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge
wire must be used.

5
Preventative maintenance and daily cleaning will prolong the life and look
of your MATRIX treadmill.
Please read and follow these tips.

3.3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
In order to maximize life span, and minimize down time, all MATRIX
equipment requires regular cleaning, and maintenance items
performed on a scheduled basis. This section contains detailed
instructions on how to perform these items, the frequency of which
they should be done, and a check list to sign off on each time
service is completed for a specific machine. Some basic tools and
supplies will be necessary to perform these tasks which include (but
may not be limited to):
* Metric Allen wrenches
* #2 Phillips head screwdriver
* Adjustable wrench
* Torque wrench (capability to read foot lbs and inch lbs)
* Lint free cleaning cloths
* Teflon based spray lubricant such as "Super Lube" or other Matrix
approved products.
* Mild water soluable detergent such as "Simple Green" or other
Matrix approved products
* Vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose and crevasse tool
attachment.
Please find the worksheet sample for our equipment provided in
this manual and make copies as needed, keeping them up to date
as required service / maintenance items are performed. It is critical
that you also log the accumulated amount of miles or running hours
on the equipment each time service or maintenance is performed.
You may periodically see addendums to this document, as the
Matrix Technical Support Team identifies items that require specific
attention, the latest version will always be available on the Matrix
web site at www.matrixfitness.com.
DAILY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Clean the entire machine using water and mild detergent such as
"Simple Green", or other Matrix approved solutions (cleaning agents
MUST be alcohol and ammonia free).
2) Check the emergency stop button and cord for proper operation.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Inspect the power cord for damage, inspect the hand grip
areas, and inspect the emergency stop button and cord for proper
operation.
2) Check the running belt for proper tension, adjust as needed.
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove the front plastic cover, and vacuum the motor area
located below the front cover. Be careful when working around the
MCB not to bump any wires or connections loose.
2) Check the drive belt for visible wear, ie, cracking, tears, etc. The
belt should be replaced if there are any visible signs of damage.
Proper alignment of the pulley / tensioner should be verified at this
time as well.
3) Remove the front plastic cover. Start the unit and raise incline
settings to maximum height. Turn the power switch off at the front
of the machine to prevent it from lowering accidentally. Lubricate
the incline motor Acme screw (Matrix recommends Super Lube
brand grease with PTFE additive).
BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Remove the wax build up from the front and rear rollers of the
machine.
2) Inspect the underside of the running belt for damage, check for
cracking or glazed surfaces.
3) If the belt has damage or wear to it that warrants replacement,
note that the running deck must also be flipped when a new belt is
installed. If the deck has previously been flipped and no longer has
an unused side available, it needs to be replaced when the new belt
is installed. A new belt must ALWAYS be installed to run on a new
deck surface in order to maximize the lifespan of both items.
4) During normal operating conditions, the running belt
replacement and deck service should be done every 25,000 miles.

3.5 AUTO CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHAPTER 3: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Run Auto Calibration to calibrate the incline parameters after
assembly and after replacing any electronic component.
AUTO CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
1) Press ENTER, 2, 0, 0, 1, then ENTER. Engineering Mode will
appear on the display.
2) Press the button next to CALIBRATION..
3) Press the button next to AUTO CALIBRATION. You SHOULD NOT
be standing on the unit while it is calibrating.
4) After completion, the display will state either Complete or Auto
Calibration failed.
5) Press the button next to BACK then the button next to HOME to
return to normal operation mode. You can also press the Emergency
Stop.
3.6 ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT
After placing the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt
must be checked for proper tension and centering. The belt may
need to be adjusted after the first two hours of use. Temperature,
humidity, and use cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If
the belt starts to slip when a user is on it, be sure to follow the
directions below.
STEP 1: Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill.
The bolts are located at each end of the frame at the back of the
treadmill. These bolts adjust the rear roller. Do not adjust until the
treadmill is on. This will prevent over tightening of one side.
STEP 2: The belt should have equal distance on either side
between the frame. If the belt is touching one side, do not start
the treadmill. Turn the bolts counter clockwise approximately one
full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing the belt
from side to side. Tighten the bolts the same amount as when the
user loosened them, approximately one full turn. Inspect the belt
for damage.
STEP 3: While the treadmill is running at 3 mph, observe the belt
position. If it is moving to the right, tighten the right bolt by turning
it clockwise 1/4 turn, and loosen the left bolt 1/4 turn. If it is moving
to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it clockwise 1/4 turn and
loosen the right 1/4 turn. Repeat Step 3 until the belt remains
centered for several minutes.
STEP 4: Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very
snug. When a person walks or runs on the belt, it should not
hesitate or slip. If this occurs, tighten the belt by turning both bolts
clockwise 1/4 turn. Repeat if necessary.

4.5 FITNESS TEST WORKOUT OPERATION
Your Matrix treadmill offers a variety of fitness tests - the Gerkin
Firefighter Protocol, the Army, Navy, USMC, and USAF as well as the
Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB).
The Gerkin Protocol was developed by Dr. Richard Gerkin of the
Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded
treadmill evaluation used by many Fire Departments across the United
States to assess the physical condition of the firefighters. The test
requires constant monitoring of the user's heart rate so the use of a
telemetric chest strap is highly encouraged. The workout operates as
follows:
WARM UP: The warm up is 3 minutes long and runs at 3.0 mph (4.8
kph)and0%incline.
STAGE 1: At the 3 minute mark, the treadmill will gradually increase
speed to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The actual test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2
kph).
STAGE 2:Afteroneminute,thetreadmillinclinewillincreaseto2%.
STAGE 3: After one minute, the treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph
(8.0 kph).
STAGES 4 THROUGH 11: After every odd minute the treadmill incline
willincreaseby2%.Aftereveryevenminutethetreadmillspeedwill
increase by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user's heart rate exceeds
thetargetheartrate(85%ofmaximumasdeterminedbytheequation
(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone),theindividualcontinuesthe
evaluation for an additional 15 seconds. During the 15 second period,
the evaluation remains at the stage where the target heart rate is
exceeded, without any change to speed or incline. If the heart rate
does not return to or below the target heart rate, the evaluation ends
and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the heart rate returns
to or below the target heart rate, the program continues at the point
where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15
seconds.
TEST COMPLETION: The test is completed when user's heart
rate exceeds the target for more than 15 seconds or when the user
completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter
acooldowncyclefor3minutesat3.0mph(4.8kph),0%incline.
1) Choose GERKIN TEST by pressing the fitness test workout button
until Gerkin is shown in the message window and press ENTER.
2) Enter user's age using the ARROW KEYS or the NUMBER
KEYPAD and press ENTER.
3) The message window will display your target heart rate based upon
yourageandthetargetheartratezoneof85%.
4) Select the user's gender using the ARROW KEYS and press
ENTER.
5) Enter the user's weight (the user's weight is used to calculate
the caloric expenditure value, providing an accurate weight helps to
ensure an accurate caloric expenditure rating for each user) using the
ARROW KEYS or the NUMBER KEYPAD and press ENTER.
6) The message window will notify the user that the start speed is 3.0
mph(4.8kph)and0%inclineduringthewarm-up.
7) Press GO or QUICK START to begin workout.
