nal 120-volt circuit and has a non-looped grounding plug. Make sure that
the 110V treadmill is connected to an outlet, NEMA 5-20R, having the same

220v UNITS
The Matrix MX-T3x, MX-T3xi and MX-T5x 220 treadmill is for use on a nomi-
nal 220-volt circuit and has a non-looped grounding plug. Make sure that the
220V treadmill is connected to an outlet, NEMA 6-20R, having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
1.5 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 equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these
grounding Instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if the user is 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 technician.
2.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
1. Use a soft, clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use paper towels to clean surfaces
on the treadmill. Paper towels are abrasive and can damage surfaces.
2. Use a mild soap and damp cloth. DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner.
This will cause discoloring of the aluminum and plastics it comes into
contact with.
3. Do not pour water or cleaning solutions on any surface. This could cause
electrocution.
4. Wipe the console and side rails after every use.
5. Brush away any wax deposits from the deck and belt area. This is a com-
mon occurrence until the wax is worked into the belt material.
6. Be sure to remove any obstructions from the path of the elevation wheels
including power cords.
7. Monthly, unplug the treadmill and remove the motor cover. Check for
debris and clean with a dry cloth or small vacuum nozzle.
WARNING
: Do not plug the treadmill in until the motor cover has been
reinstalled.
CAUTION:
The T3x/T3xi weighs 350 pounds, and the T5x Weighs 450
pounds. Be sure to have proper assistance to install and move the unit in
order to avoid injury to you or the unit.
2.2 DECK AND BELT REPLACEMENT
One of the most common wear and tear items on a treadmill is the Deck and
Belt combination. If these two items are not properly maintained they can
cause damage to other components. This product has been provided with the
most advanced maintenance free lubricating system on the market.
WARNING:
Do not run the treadmill while cleaning the belt and deck. This
can cause serious injury and can damage the machine.
Maintain the belt and deck by wiping the sides of the belt and deck with a
clean cloth. The user can also wipe under the belt 2 inches on both sides
removing any dust or debris.
The deck can be flipped and reinstalled or replaced by an authorized service
technician. Please contact Matrix Fitness Systems for more information.
2.3 CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
DO NOT
use any equipment that is damaged or has worn or broken parts. Use
only replacement parts supplied by Matrix Fitness Systems.
MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES
. Do not remove labels for any reason.
They contain important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Matrix
Fitness Systems for a replacement.
MAINTAIN ALL EqUIPMENT
Preventative maintenance is the key to smooth
operating equipment, as well as keeping the users liability to a minimum.
Equipment needs to be inspected at regular intervals. Defective components
must be replaced immediately. Improperly working equipment must be kept
out of use until it is repaired. Ensure that any person(s) making adjustments
or performing maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified to do so. Matrix
Fitness Systems will provide service and maintenance training at our corporate
facility upon request or in the field if proper arrangements are made.
