Refer to the appropriate Parts Removal and Replacement section on PAGES 19-28 for all
disassembly and assembly instructions. If you experience any problems, contact your Matrix
Fitness Systems service department (Details found at www.trixter.net).
Daily
1. Wipe down the X-Bike after each use to remove sweat and moisture. Use soap and water,
or a diluted non-abrasive domestic cleaner solution. Rinse to remove detergent residue
and then dry off.
2. If the bikes are used frequently in group exercise sessions, inspect for loose components
such as pedals or cranks prior to commencing the next class. Tighten up any loose parts.
Weekly
1. Inspect the resistance wear pads for excessive wear or dryness. If necessary lubricate the
pads with GT-85 or another PTFE based lubricant. As the pads wear with use, it will be
necessary to adjust the resistance cable to compensate. The resistance cable can be
adjusted as follows;
o Turn the minor adjuster wheel on the Grip-shift™ fully clockwise so that there
will be sufficient cable in the minor adjustment block for future checks.
o Using a 6mm hex key, loosen the bolt at the bottom of the V-Brake to release the
cable for adjustment.
