CHAPTER 2: Setup
3
2.1 GETTING STARTED
Read the Owner’s Manual before setting up the Matrix Elliptical Trainer. Place the unit where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.
2.2 CHOOSING A LOCATION
The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Place the E1x on a structurally solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has
a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.
Please do not place the Total Body Elliptical Trainer in an area of high humidity, such as the
vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could
adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a desirable
daily activity for you, the Total Body Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.
2.3 STABILIZING THE MATRIX ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If the Elliptical E1x is placed on a
slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the adjustable levelers located underneath the base frame can
help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. To adjust, loosen the nut, and turn the
leveler until the rocking motion ceases, and both levelers rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the nut.
2.4 UNPACKING THE TOTAL BODY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

condition. Matrix Fitness ships the unit in the following pieces:
