3.3 Care aNd maiNTeNaNCe iNSTrUCTioNS
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, 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
* Lint free cleaning cloths
* Teflon based spray lubricant such as "Super Lube" 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.
