The cycle tune-up must be performed at initial installation of the indoor cycle for optimal performance and
longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below. If the indoor cycle is not installed and tuned as
described, components may wear excessively and the cycle may become damaged. If you have questions
about the installation, please contact us by using by using the website www.matrixtness.com.
Note: Some maintenance procedures require acid, silicone and solvent free spray lubricant
(for example BRUNOX), and White Lithium grease.
1. Make sure that the Matrix V Series is level. If the Matrix V Series rocks on the oor, turn the leveling feet
underneath the front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
2. Verify emergency brake function to assure that emergency brake functions correctly.
3. Brake pad calibration: turn resistance knob counterclockwise as far as possible (minimum braking effect),
verify that there is a slight separation of the brake pad from ywheel. Brake pad should barely touch the
ywheel when resistance knob is turned counter-clockwise as far as it can go.
4. Apply WD40 or Brunox spray lubricant to the brake pad using the lubrication holes on the plastic part or
the brake pad and externally on the felt pad. Make sure brake pad is thoroughly soaked from end to end
with lubricant spray. Then, wipe the excess off from the ywheel.
* Best Practice: Use a rellable spray bottle lled with non-aerosol acid, silicone and solvent
free spray lubricant purchased by the gallon (3.7 L) at the local hardware store.
5. Apply lithium grease to the threads on the lower end of the brake rod. First, turn the resistance
knob clockwise until it stops. Apply a small amount of white lithium grease to the threads on the
brake rod above the two lock nuts. Then, turn the resistance knob counter-clockwise until it stops.
6. Apply lithium grease on the metal threads of all the adjustment levers.
7. Verify four (4) Allen nuts on RS pulley for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242
and retighten.
8. Verify R and L crank arm Allen bolts for tightness. If loose, apply LocTite Threadlocker Blue-242
and retighten.
9. Verify belt tension. Check if belt drive is rmly tightened and does not slip while riding under
resisted load. In case the belt slips, proceed using the adjustment technique as described on page (17).
Please note that a belt drive gear never shows slack. In case of adjustment do not apply too
much tension.
10. Wipe down bike frame with rag moistened with solvent free spray lubricant.
11. Some parts of the cycle may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms, check all exposed
screws, bolts, and nuts, and make sure that they are properly tightened.
