    Putting on the Shorts Your Anti-Gravity Treadmill comes with customized neoprene compression shorts that ensure an airtight seal between the user’s body and the lifting enclosure of the treadmill. It is recommended that the user put the shorts on before stepping into the treadmill. Have the user select a size that is snug but not uncomfortable, and make certain the tag is at the users back and on the inside of the shorts.
  • Page 13 3. Use the numbers on the height adjusters as a reference and to ensure alignment between front, back and sides of the support frame. It is particularly important that the frame be level side-to-side. 4. Set the support frame at a height that places the zipper at the user’s iliac crest (the top, outer edge of the pelvic bone felt just below waist level).

    Labels, Locations, Interpretation You must read and understand the labels on the Pro 100 Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The labels provide information on the operation of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Follow all instructions on the labels for a safe and enjoyable exercise experience.
  • Page 25 Label #2 This label is located on areas of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill frame that present a pinch hazard when the enclosure is inflated. The metal frame of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill helps to shape and contain the fabric enclosure. As the enclosure inflates, the enclosure expands to touch the frame in the areas where the labels are placed.
  • Page 26 Label #5 Users must be in good health to exercise on the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Users must consult a physician before beginning an exercise program on the treadmill. If a user experiences any pain, discomfort or unusual symptoms while exercising on the treadmill, they must stop immediately and consult their physician before resuming an exercise program.
  • Page 27 Label #8 AlterG manufactures the system. This label is located on the base of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill and identifies the serial and model number of the system as well as the power and voltage requirements. Label #9 This label is located within the structure of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill and indicates that a high voltage is present in that location.

  • Page 28: Maintenance

    Shorts Cleaning and Disinfection • Before the user puts on or takes off the AlterG’s Shorts, make sure they always remove their shoes. Keeping shoes on while putting on the shorts puts a great deal of stress on their seams and will significantly reduce the life of the shorts.

  • Page 29: Enclosure And Frame Cleaning And Disinfection

    Regular cleaning and wiping of the surfaces after each use is recommended. Following exposure to infectious agents, clean the surfaces of the treadmill in accordance with CDC guidelines or consult AlterG, Inc. General Cleaning and Inspection Periodic cleaning and inspection will help lengthen the life of your Anti-Gravity Treadmill and keep it looking good.

If you have any problems with your Strataglass, contact AlterG immediately.

  • Page 31: Enclosure Removal And Cleaning

    Enclosure Removal and Cleaning 1. Power off and unplug the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. 2. Locate the metal strips under the metal tabs at the base of the enclosure. The metal strips are retained by black plastic sliders that slide under the metal tabs. 3.

  • Page 32: Enclosure Reattachment

    6. Lift the base of the enclosure up and inward away from the retaining tabs. Note that you may not need to remove both the front and back to clean the entire treadmill. Removing one end and both sides should be sufficient. Typically, it is best to leave the front of the enclosure attached to the frame.
  • Page 33 2. Place the bottom edge of the metal slats on the enclosure side of the plastic rods located in the hem of the enclosure. The rod should be trapped between the slat and the outer frame. Set the plastic sliders on the slat with the tapered end of each slider facing the metal tab.
  • Page 34 3. Slide the black plastic sliders under each metal tab on each side of the enclosure that you are reattaching. Push the sliders far enough such that the metal tab rests on the flat surface of the slider. You might need to tap the sliders into place using the plastic tool and a mallet.
