Preventative Maintenance

In order to maximise lifespan, and minimise down time, all MATRIX equipment requires regular cleaning, and maintenance items performed on a scheduled basis.

ELLIPTICAL MACHINES

Daily Maintenance

• Clean entire machine using water and mild detergent such as “Simple Green”, or other Matrix approved solution (cleaning agents should be alcohol and ammonia free).

Quarterly Maintenance

• Check all connecting joint areas for tightness of bolt assemblies. 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. 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). Ascent Trainer only – remove plastic covers, and lubricate Acme screw on left and right incline motors (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon} additive).

Yearly Maintenance

• Remove wheel covers and check belts for damage, alignment, and proper tension. Replace if needed.
