POWER REQUIREMENTS

DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO

A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug 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 unit in question. 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 approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

For your safety and to ensure good treadmill performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated). Please refer to NEC articles 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.
For units with an integrated TV (like the TOUCH and TOUCH XL), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings on each end will need to be connected between the cardio unit and the video source. For units with an add-on digital TV (LED only), the machine in which the add-on digital TV is connected to powers the add-on digital TV. Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV.

110 V UNITS

10 V units require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 20 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 5-20R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

220 V UNITS

220 V units require the use of a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and a 20 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 6-20R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The equipment 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 unit is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the MATRIX limited warranty.
ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO
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 ft(30.5 m) or less, then 12 gauge wires should be used. For distances greater than 100 ft (30.5 m) from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, a 10 gauge wire should be used.
ENERGY-SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE
All units are configured with the ability to enter into an energy-saving / low-power mode when the unit has not been in use for a specified period of time. Additional time may be required to fully reactivate this unit once it has entered the low-power mode. This energy-saving feature may be enabled or disabled from within the ‘Manager Mode’ or ‘Engineering Mode.’
ADD-ON DIGITAL TV (LED, PREMIUM LED)
Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV.
An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be
connected between the video source and each add-on digital TV unit.

DANGER

improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are 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 electrician

ASSEMBLY

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

WARNING!

Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

LOCATION OF THE UNIT

Ensure that there is a clear zone behind the treadmill that is at least the width of the treadmill and at least 2 meters (at least 79”) long. This clear zone is important to reduce the risk of serious injury where a user falls off the back edge of the treadmill. This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine.
For ease of access, there should be an accessible space on both sides of the treadmill of at least 24” (0.6 meters) to allow a user access to the treadmill from either side. Do not place the treadmill in any area that will block any vent or air openings. Locate the equipment away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate the equipment in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. The treadmill should not be located outdoors, near water, or in any environment that is not temperature and humidity controlled (such as in a garage, covered patio, etc.).

LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT
Install equipment on a stable and level floor. It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. Turn leveling foot clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to raise the unit. Adjust each side as needed until the equipment is level. An unbalanced unit may cause belt misalignment or other issues. Use of a level is recommended.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

TENSIONING 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 might 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.

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 belt roller. Do not adjust until the treadmill is on. This will prevent the over-tightening of one side.
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 counterclockwise approximately one full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing the belt from side to side until it is parallel with the side rails. Tighten the bolts the same amount as when the user loosened them, approximately one full turn. Inspect the belt for damage.
Start the treadmill running belt by pressing the GO button. Increase speed to 3 mph (~4.8 kph) and observe the belt position. If it is moving to the right, tighten the right bolt by turning it clockwise ¼ turn, and loosen the left bolt ¼ turn. If it is moving to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it clockwise ¼ turn and loosen the right ¼
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 ¼ turn. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: Use the orange strip in the lateral position of the side rails as criteria to confirm the belt is properly centered. It is necessary to adjust the belt until the edge of the belt is parallel to the orange or white strip.

WARNING!

Do not run belt faster than 3 mph (~4.8 kph) while centering. Keep fingers, hair, and clothing away from a belt at all times.
Treadmills equipped with side handrails and front handlebar for user support and emergency dismount, press the emergency button to stop the machine for the emergency dismount.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

INTENDED USE

The treadmill is intended for walking, jogging, or running exercises only.
Always wear athletic shoes while using this equipment.
To avoid injury, use extreme caution when stepping onto or off of a moving belt. Stand on the side rails when starting the treadmill.
Face toward the treadmill controls (toward the front of the treadmill) when the treadmill is in operation. Keep your body and head facing forward. Do not attempt to turn around or look backward while the treadmill is running.
Always maintain control while operating the treadmill. If you ever feel as if you are unable to remain in control, grasp handlebars for support and step onto the non-moving side rails, then bring the moving treadmill surface to a stop prior to dismounting.
Wait for the moving surface of the treadmill to come to a complete stop before dismounting from the treadmill.
Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain, faint, dizzy or are short of breath.

PROPER USAGE

Position your feet on the belt, bend your arms slightly and grasp the heart rate sensors (as shown). While running, your feet should be located in the center of the belt so that your hands can swing naturally and without contacting the front handlebars.This treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and adjust the speed in small increments to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running.

CAUTION!
RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS

While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt. Place your feet on the side rails before starting the treadmill. Start walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move. Never start the treadmill at a fast running speed and attempt to jump on! In case of an emergency, place both hands on the side armrests to hold yourself up and place your feet onto the side rails.

USING THE SAFETY STOP

Your treadmill will not start unless the emergency stop button is reset. Attach the clip end securely to your clothing. This safety stop is designed to cut the power to the
treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation of the safety stop every 2 weeks.

WARNING!
Never use the treadmill without securing the safety clip to your clothing. Pull on the safety key clip first to make sure it will not come off your clothing.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied
on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like
a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including the movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician. Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip
the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heartbeats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.
Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over-exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
