Emergency Extraction Procedures
In the unlikely event that a patient becomes immobilized in the Anti-Gravity Treadmill, please refer to the
urgent steps below to secure the situation before c1510.270.5900 or referring to alterg.com.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Do not unlock the cockpit until you read further.
2. The treadmill belt on the Fit series does not lock in place, so secure it by holding your foot against it
at the rear of the treadmill.
Emergency Scenarios
There are two likely scenarios in which a patient may require urgent help with getting out of the Anti-
Gravity Treadmill:
Scenario 1
The patient falls or becomes fatigued to the point of inability to exit the treadmill before the air chamber is
inflated with air.
Option 1:
If the patient can stand, stop the treadmill and secure the belt with your foot. Help the patient
exit the treadmill.
Option 2:
Prevent the belt from moving by securing it with your foot. Remove the bag rods at the
treadmill base.
Option 3:
Prevent the belt from moving by securing it with your foot. Cut the air chamber and help the
patient exit the treadmill.
Scenario 2
The patient becomes fatigued to the point of inability to exit the treadmill after the air chamber is inflated.
Reduce the body weight percentage to less than 40% and have the patient sit down in place until they re-
gain their strength and can exit on their own.
