CHAPTER 1: Important Safety Instructions
1.4 ELECTRICAL REqUIREMENTS
For your safety and to ensure good treadmills performance, the ground on
this circuit must be no-looped. Before connecting the plug into an electri-
cal outlet, make sure that the voltage requirements match that the voltage
of the treadmill.
A TTENTION: Your treadmill is provided with a power cord. Please
only use with the power cord as supplied, or with Matrix spare part, other-
wise this may result in damage.
120v UNITS
The Matrix T50X, T50X-U 120 treadmill is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit and has a non-looped grounding plug. Make sure that the 120-volt
treadmill is connected to an outlet, NEMA 5-20R, having the same configu-
ration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
220v UNITS
The Mat rix T50X, T50X-U 220 tre admi ll is for use on a nomina l 220- volt
circ uit and has a non-l oop ed grou ndi ng plug . Make sure that the 220-volt
treadmill is connected to an outlet, NEMA 6-20R, having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
1.5 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The treadmill 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 treadmill 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 .
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc-
tor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman if the user is 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 technician.
2.1 RECOMMENDED CLEANING TIPS
1. Use a soft , clea n cotto n clot h. DO NOT use paper towels to clean
surf ace s on the treadmill. Paper towels are abrasive and can
damage surfaces.
2. Use a mild soap and damp cloth. DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner.
This will cause discoloring of the aluminum and plastics it comes into
contact with.
3. Do not pour water or cleaning solutions on any surface. This could
cause electrocution.
4. Wipe the console and side rails after every use.
5. Brus h away any wax depo sit s from the deck and belt area . This is a
common occurrence until the wax is worked into the belt material.
6. Be sure to remove any obstructions from the path of the elevation
wheels including power cords.
7. Monthly , unplug the treadmill and remove the motor cover . Check for
debris and clean with a dry cloth or small vacuum nozzle.
W ARNING: Do not plug the treadmill in until the motor cover has
been reinstalled.
CAUTION: Be sure to have proper assistance to install and move the
unit in order to avoid injury or damage to the treadmill.
2.2 DECK AND BEL T REPLACEMENT

belt combination. If these two items are not properly maintained they can
cause damage to other components. This product has been provided with
the most advanced maintenance free lubricating system on the market. The
Matrix Ultimate Deck™ does not require any maintenance, other than
cleaning and belt tightening, for up to 25,000 miles.

clean cloth. The user can also wipe under the belt 2 inches on both sides
removing any dust or debris.
The deck can be flipped and reinstalled or replaced by an authorized service
technician. Please contact Matrix Fitness Systems for more information.
