Gym Equipment Care and Maintenance Instructions: Bi-Annual

Treadmill Bi-Annual Maintenance:

• Remove wax build-up from the front and rear rollers of the machine (a flat screwdriver or a paint scraper / putty knife work best) (Figures 9 & 10).

• Inspect the underside of the running belt for damage checking/cracking, glazed surface.

• If the belt has damage or wear to it that warrants replacement, please note that the running deck must also be flipped when a new belt is installed. If the deck has previously been flipped, and no longer has an unused side available, it needs to be replaced when the new belt is installed. A new belt must ALWAYS be installed to run on a new deck surface in order to maximize the lifespan of both items.

• During normal operating conditions, the running belt replacement and deck service may need to be done every 10,000 miles for T1x and T3x treadmills and 20,000 miles for T5x and T7x treadmills.

• Remove the cooling fan from the motor (Figure 11).

• Remove the front motor cover.

• Press a commutator stone (available upon request from Matrix Fitness Systems) to the commutator on the motor (Figure 12) and slowly turn the belt to clean the commutator.

Stepper Bi-Annual Maintenance:

• Remove the covers from the unit. Remove the 3 belt pulleys from each side (Figures 13 & 14). Clean and lubricate the pulleys, then reinstall. (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon} additive).

• Check the belts for damage, alignment, and proper tension. Replace as needed.

• Check the pedal foot pads for damage or wear. Replace as needed.
