Seasonally
In autumn and winter the drier climate in many regions of the country will cause static buildup when the
treadmill is used. Spray the running surface with a staticide spray to prevent static shock to treadmill
users and to prevent interference with the treadmill’s electronic systems.
Bag Windows
The windows on your Anti-Gravity Treadmill are made of Strataglass™. Special care must be taken to
ensure they remain clean and clear. IMAR™ Strataglass cleaner is recommended for cleaning the clear
windows.
Note
: If your Anti-Gravity Treadmill is exposed to the sun, it is necessary to order a special window
cleaner that contains UV protection. For a list of retailers and distributors in your area, contact AlterG or
visit Amazom.com and order the IMAR™ Strataglass protective cleaner. If you have any problems with
your Strataglass, contact AlterG immediately.
How Should I Clean My Touchscreen?
When cleaning a touchscreen, it is important to realize that it is sensitive to chemicals, much as is a pair
of glasses with plastic lenses (usually polycarbonate with a glare reduction coating). In fact, the cleaning
kit supplied with a pair of such glasses is just the ticket for safely cleaning your touchscreen; it typically
includes a micro-fiber cloth and a gentle cleaning solution and usually costs about $10.
Cleaning Instructions
•
Use a soft, lint-free cloth. We especially recommend the 3M Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth for
cleaning touch panels without needing a liquid cleaner. The material may be used dry or lightly
dampened with a mild cleaner or Ethanol. Be sure the cloth is only slightly damp, not wet.
•
Never use acidic or alkaline (neutral pH) cleaners, or organic chemicals such as paint thinner,
acetone, toluene, xylene, propyl or isopropyl alcohol, or kerosene. Suitable cleaning products are
commercially available and pre-packaged for use; one example of such a product is Klear Screen™
or commercially available off-the-shelf retail brands such as Glass Plus
made by Reckitt-Benckiser. Use of incorrect cleaners can result in visual impairment of the
touchscreen and damage functionality.
•
Never apply cleaner directly to the touchscreen surface; if you spill the cleaner onto the touchscreen,
soak it up immediately with an absorbent cloth.
•
When using a cleanser, avoid contact with the edges of the film or glass, and with the flex tail.
•
Wipe the surface gently; if there is a directional surface texture, wipe in the same direction as the
texture.
Note
: Most products contain 1-3% Isopropyl Alcohol by volume, which is within acceptable limits for
Resistive Touch Panel cleaning use.
Caution
: Many products contain Ammonia, Phosphates, or Ethylene Glycol, which are
NOT
ACCEPTABLE
; check product content label carefully.
Bag Maintenance
•
Check the bag for any leaks and note any abnormal hissing sounds. A small leak through the shorts
and zipper is normal. If this or other leaks affect the maximum pressure capabilities of the Anti-Gravity
Treadmill, contact AlterG for troubleshooting and support.
•
Lubricate the zipper on the bag as needed using a zipper lubricant. Keep sharp objects away from the
bag at all times.
•
To provide maintenance on the inside of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill, it may be necessary to remove
the bag from the base. It is recommended that this type of maintenance be performed at the end of
the day. When the bag is reattached, the foam that forms an airtight seal between the bag and the
base requires time to expand and reseal. The procedure for removing the bag for cleaning is
described below.
