SECTION 4: SAFETY FEATURES OF THE ANTI-GRAVITY
TREADMILL
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is designed with your safety in mind. Through extensive
testing we have created a product that combines ease of use, effectiveness, and safety.
Latches and the Oval Support Frame
The oval frame that encircles your waist is a very
important safety feature. The oval support frame is
securely latched into the frame of the Anti-Gravity
Treadmill and is fully capable of supporting your full
body weight. If you were to fall, this mechanism can
hold you up and reduce your chances of sliding onto
the moving treadmill surface.
To work correctly, it is important that the oval support
frame is set to the correct height and that the front and
back arms are pushed forward, completely, into the
front and back of the height adjusters.
Always secure the support frame in position by closing
and securing the red latches (Figure 18). Be aware that you can use this frame to support
yourself in case you fall or need to jump off to the sides of the treadmill for some reason.
Safety Lanyard/Magnetic Stop
It is essential that you always use the magnetic safety lanyard supplied with the Anti-Gravity
Treadmill. The magnet must be placed directly over the rectangular label on the console labeled
“Magnet Here,” or the machine will not operate. Clip the other end to your shirt near your waist.
If you fall or stumble, the magnet will be pulled off the console and the treadmill will de-power
and go into a free-wheel mode, while the air-pressure will be released. If you lose the safety
magnet, immediately order a replacement from AlterG. As a precaution, the machine will not
operate without the magnet directly over the “Magnet Here” label.
