Overview

3. Maintenance Features

The Matrix G7-S72 Seated Leg Curl is a strength training machine designed for lower body workouts, specifically targeting the hamstrings. It is part of the Matrix Ultra Series, indicating a focus on robust construction and advanced features for commercial or high-end home gym environments. The machine's primary function is to allow users to perform seated leg curls, an isolation exercise that strengthens the muscles at the back of the thigh.

Function Description:

The G7-S72 Seated Leg Curl operates by providing resistance to the user's legs as they flex their knees, pulling the leg pad towards their body. The machine features a weight stack system, allowing users to select their desired resistance level by inserting a selector pin. The design ensures a smooth and controlled motion throughout the exercise, minimizing the risk of injury while maximizing muscle engagement. The machine is engineered to accommodate a wide range of users, with adjustable components to ensure proper alignment and comfort during the exercise.

Usage Features:

The G7-S72 is designed for proper and safe usage, emphasizing user comfort and effective training. Key usage features include:

• Adjustable Components: The machine offers multiple adjustment points to customize the fit for individual users. This includes an adjustable seat pad, leg pad, and back pad. The leg pad position is crucial and should be set below the ankles, while the back pad should be adjusted to align the user's knees with the machine's orange pivot point. An adjustable range of motion limiter is also provided, allowing users to set their comfortable start position and prevent overextension.
• Clear Instructions: The machine includes visual placards with clear instructions on how to use the equipment correctly. These placards guide users on pad adjustments, body positioning, and the proper execution of the seated leg curl exercise, illustrating both the start and finish positions.
• Weight Selection: Resistance is provided by a weight stack, which can be easily adjusted using a selector pin. Users are instructed to ensure the selector pin is completely inserted into the weight stack before beginning their exercise. The machine also warns against using dumbbells or other external means to incrementally increase resistance, emphasizing the use of only the manufacturer-provided means.
• Controlled Movement: Users are advised to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, avoiding jerky movements, and to return the weight to its fully-supported start position after each repetition. This promotes effective muscle engagement and reduces the risk of injury.
• Safety Stops: Where provided, adjustable safety stops must be used at all times to prevent excessive range of motion or potential injury.
• Supervised Environment: The equipment is intended for use in supervised areas where access and control are regulated by the owner. The owner is responsible for determining who is allowed to use the training equipment, considering factors such as reliability, age, and experience.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity, smooth operation, and safety of the G7-S72 Seated Leg Curl. The manual outlines a comprehensive maintenance checklist and emphasizes the importance of preventative maintenance. Key maintenance features and recommendations include:

• Regular Inspections: Equipment needs to be inspected at regular intervals. This includes daily checks for upholstery and cables, monthly checks for guide rods and hardware, and bi-annual inspections of the frame.
• Cleaning: Upholstery and grips should be cleaned as needed with a mild soap and water or a non-ammonia based cleaner. The machine itself should also be cleaned as needed.
• Lubrication: Guide rods require lubrication as needed with a Teflon-based lubricant. The lubricant should be applied to a cotton cloth and then wiped up and down the guide rods.
• Part Replacement: Users are instructed not to use any equipment with damaged, worn, or broken parts. Only replacement parts supplied by the country's local MATRIX dealer should be used.
• Label Maintenance: All labels and nameplates, which contain important information, should be maintained. If they become unreadable or go missing, the MATRIX dealer should be contacted for replacements.
• Qualified Personnel: Any person(s) making adjustments or performing maintenance or repair of any kind must be qualified to do so. MATRIX dealers can provide service and maintenance training.
• Installation Integrity: The equipment must be installed on a stable and level surface. Manufacturer recommends securing all stationary MATRIX strength equipment to the floor to stabilize it and eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a licensed contractor, and all anchor points must withstand a significant pull-out force. This ensures the machine remains stable during use and maintenance.
• Rep Counter: When installing the rep counter, users are reminded to remove the insulating sheet.
