  • Page 15 Stepping into the Anti-Gravity Treadmill CAUTION: Before the user steps into the Anti-Gravity Treadmill running surface, ensure that the safety magnet is in place on the console. If the safety magnet is not in place, the treadmill assumes there is a safety problem and disengages the running surface. Before entering the treadmill ensure that the cockpit is at the lowest level.
  • Page 16 A “Cockpit Lock” message appears on the screen to indicate that the cockpit is unlocked. 2. Grasp the handrails and slide the cockpit up or down to set it at a height that places the zipper at the iliac crest (the top, outer edge of the pelvic bone felt just below waist level).
  • Page 17 The “Cockpit Lock” message disappears, and the Welcome screen appears. 4. Grasp the handle on each side of the bag and lift the bag straight up to the handrails. 5. Pull up until both sides of the bag snap to the magnets on the underside of the handrails.
  • Page 18 CAUTION: Never operate the Anti-Gravity Treadmill without the cockpit engaged in a locked position. This is an essential safety item that prevents the cockpit from inadvertently disengaging during an exercise session. Never attempt to move the cockpit while the bag is inflating or when it is fully inflated.
  • Page 19 Always use the magnetic safety lanyard supplied with the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. If you lose the safety magnet, order a replacement from AlterG. As a precaution, the treadmill will not operate without the safety magnet directly over the Emergency Stop label.
