Section 4: Operating the AlterG Treadmill
POWERING UP
The AlterG Treadmill is turned on by
operating the switch located on the front
cover of the system.
Before you turn on the AlterG
Treadmill you must do two things:
1. Make sure there is no one
standing on the treadmill when
you power up the system.
2. Make sure the cockpit is locked
in its topmost position so the
inflatable enclosure is not sitting
on the treadmill surface.
The computer that controls the AlterG Treadmill weighs the treadmill when the system is
first turned on. The computer will receive an erroneous reading if either the fabric
enclosure or an individual is on the surface of the
treadmill. The proper location of the cockpit on
power-up is shown in Figure 4.
Note: Once the power switch is turned on,
wait 30 seconds before the subject attempts
to enter the treadmill. The system requires 30
seconds to run a series of diagnostic tests.
