4.3 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 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
Mild, water soluble, detergent – such as “Simple Green”, or other Matrix
approved product
Teflon based spray lubricant such as “Super Lube”, or other Matrix approved
product
Vacuum cleaner w/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 the required
service/maintenance items are performed. It is critical that you also log the
accumulated (total) 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 website, www.matrixfitness.com
DAILY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Clean entire machine use water and mild detergent such as “Simple
Green”, or other Matrix approved solution (cleaning agents should be
alcohol and ammonia free).
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE ITEMS
1) Check all connecting joint areas for tightness of bolt assemblies.
2) Ensure that there is little, or no free play at all joint assemblies once
bolts have been tightened. Installation of washer kits may be required if
free play does not come out from tightening bolts.
3) Remove plastic covers, and lubricate ball joint where the Link Arm and
Handlebar join together. A grease gun, with a needle fitting adapter is
required for this (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with
PTFE {Teflon} additive).
4) Remove plastic covers, and lubricate Acme screw on left and right
incline motors (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with
PTFE {Teflon} additive). See section 9.11 for incline motor access
instructions.
