In order to maximize life span, and minimize down time, all Matrix Fitness System's equipment requires regular cleaning, and maintenance
items performed on a scheduled basis. This section contains detailed instructions on how to perform these items and the frequency of which
they should be done. 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 soluble detergent such as "Simple Green" or other Matrix approved products
* Vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose and crevasse tool attachment.
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.

1) Remove the front plastic cover, and vacuum the entire inside area of machine. 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 motor cover at the front of the machine. Start the unit and raise the 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

1) Remove any 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 a new running belt should ALWAYS be installed on a new deck
surface (deck should either be flipped or replaced to gain a new surface).
4) During normal operating conditions, the running belt replacement and deck service should be done every 15,000 miles.
