Introduction
Things to Consider Before Beginning an Exercise Program
Consult a Physician
Anyone considering an exercise program or an increase in activity should consult a physician. It is highly
recommended that users follow the guidance of their physician before and during an exercise program or
any other increase in physical activity if they:
•Have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease or elevated cholesterol
•Smoke cigarettes
•Are currently inactive, are obese, or have any other chronic disease or physical impairment, of if there is
a history of such disease in their family
Consult a Professional Fitness Trainer
In addition to following the recommendations of a physician, it is advisable to consult a professional fitness
instructor or personal trainer to develop an overall fitness evaluation/wellness program that is tailored to
your particular needs.
Understanding the Importance of Warming Up and Cooling Down
It is important that users gradually warm up, cool down, and incorporate a series of stretches prior to and at
the end of each workout. Stretching encourages the necessary flexibility to help prevent sore muscles and
injury during daily activities.
Do not abruptly end your exercise session on the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The user’s full body weight should
be restored slowly and should include a few minutes of walking at full body weight and low intensity before
stopping the workout session.
How Often and for How Long Should You Exercise?
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a frequency of 3 to 5 days per week for duration of
20 to 60 minutes, dependent on the intensity of the exercise session.1The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that physical activity should be moderate or vigorous and add up to at least 30
minutes a day. The USDA defines moderate as walking briskly at about 3.5 miles per hour while vigorous
activity is running or jogging at 5 miles per hour.2These are general guidelines; you should determine what
is appropriate for you with the help of your physician.

Ground Requirements
The Anti-Gravity Treadmill must be grounded electrically. If there is an electrical malfunction, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Anti-Gravity
Treadmill is equipped with a power cord with a grounded plug (domestic systems). This plug must be
plugged into an appropriate receptacle (NEMA 6-20R) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with the current National Electrical Code as well as all local codes and ordinances. If you are at all unsure of
these requirements, contact AlterG for clarification.
Danger
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the product; if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by qualified electrician.
Location Requirements
The Anti-Gravity Treadmill is 38” (96.5cm) wide and 84” (213cm) long. It weighs approximately 750lbs
(340kg). It needs to be placed on a structurally sound surface. If it is used above ground level it is advisable
to place it near the corner of the room or where the floor will be strongest to ensure maximum support
during high-speed, high-impact use. The surface should be level to ensure minimal flexing of the Anti-
Gravity Treadmill frame. It is recommended that the Anti-Gravity Treadmill be placed on a rubber mat or
padded indoor/outdoor style carpet. The front of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill needs to be within 10ft (3.05m)
of the proper electrical outlet. Check with a qualified electrician or AlterG if you plan on extending the cord
in any way. Make sure you leave at least 24” (61cm) on either side of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill to allow the
bag to expand during inflation. Allow 40” (101.5cm) behind the Anti-Gravity Treadmill to accommodate a
user getting in and out of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill system safely.
We recommend an area at least 12ft (3.66m) long by 8ft (2.44m) wide to provide adequate space for
operation and user access. Also check ceiling height to ensure users will not hit their heads. The treadmill
surface is approximately 8” (20cm) off the floor when level and can be higher when the user is running on a
grade. An 8ft (2.44m) ceiling may be too low for taller users.
Transporting Your Anti-Gravity Treadmill
Contact AlterG if you plan on moving your Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Damage sustained by improperly moving
the Anti-Gravity Treadmill will not be covered by your warranty.

Principle of Operations
AlterG’s technology was originally conceived as part of an effort to help NASA’s astronauts maintain fitness
during prolonged space flight. AlterG pioneered the concept of combining this technology with an advanced
pressure regulation system and treadmill into a machine that provides the most effective and comfortable
body weight support system available today.
Physics and Technology Behind the Anti-GravityTreadmill
Differential Air-Pressure Technology
The physical lifting force generated by the Anti-Gravity Treadmill comes from a difference in air pressure
around the user’s upper and lower body. The Anti-Gravity Treadmill uses this methodology, known as
Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to unweight the user.
An inflatable fabric enclosure covers the treadmill. In the middle of the enclosure is a hole through which
the user steps onto the surface of the treadmill. The user wears a special pair of shorts, and these shorts
are zipped into the hole in the enclosure. A blower is used to inflate the enclosure. The pressure generated
in the inflated enclosure provides a lifting force against the body. Because the pressure is only slightly
above atmospheric and evenly distributed, the force on the lower body is almost imperceptible. The Anti-
Gravity Treadmill provides a level of comfort while exercising unmatched by other unweighting systems.
Pressure Regulation System
AlterG has developed an advanced and very sophisticated pressure regulation system that ensures the
Anti-Gravity Treadmill has extremely accurate weight control with good reproducibility between sessions.
When you run in the Anti-Gravity Treadmill, the natural bouncing motion of your body changes the shape
and volume of the bag. This effect would change the interior pressure of the bag and your effective
exercise weight if it were not for the pressure regulation system in the Anti-Gravity Treadmill that monitors
and reacts to these changes. This technology makes rapid adjustments to the bag pressure, maintaining
the pressure in the bag and your exercise body weight at near constant levels.

D000348-00 Rev. B
14
Air Seal Shorts
To seal users into the Anti-Gravity Treadmill in a comfortable and convenient manner, AlterG has designed
a special pair of shorts. These create an airtight environment around the lower body, and the zipper
provides a mechanism to quickly attach and detach from the enclosure. The shorts are easy to take on and
off and sealing with the machine is as simple as zipping up a jacket. The shorts are similar to those worn by
many professional athletes for compression and support during training activities.
Shorts are manufactured using the following materials: 90% Neoprene, 10% Urethane coated Nylon.

D000348-00 Rev. B
15
Operating the Anti-Gravity Treadmill
Powering Up
The main power switch is located at the front over of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Switch it on to start the
system.
Before you turn on the Anti-Gravity Treadmill, you must do the following:
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 Anti-Gravity 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 the photo.
Note
: After the power switch is turned on, wait 30 seconds before the user attempts to enter the treadmill.
The system requires 30 seconds to run a series of diagnostic tests.
Putting on the Shorts
Your Anti-Gravity Treadmill comes with dedicated shorts that ensure an airtight seal in the fabric enclosure.
Slip the shorts on in the same manner as a conventional pair. The life of the shorts will be extended and
they will be easier to get on if you first remove your shoes.

D000348-00 Rev. B

Note
: End of Life Product Disposal: AlterG products contain no waste or residual materials. The products
have significant recoverable and recyclable elements. Consult your distributor for the safe and appropriate
disposal of product no longer in service.
Select a short size that is snug but not uncomfortable, and make certain the tag is at your back and on the
inside of the shorts. The long tail of the zipper should be in front. It is advisable that you wear a pair of
running shorts or tights under the AlterG shorts.
Stepping into the Treadmill
Lower the cockpit so it compresses the bag against the treadmill surface. Push it all the way down for ease
of entry. Enter from the back and step into the opening in the fabric enclosure. It is fine to step on the fabric
as you enter, but make sure that you have no rocks or sharp objects embedded in the soles of your shoes
that could mar or damage the bag.
Step over the cockpit
and into the hole in
the enclosure.
Step on this surface
to enter.

D000348-00 Rev. B
17
Adjusting the Height of the Cockpit
The cockpit slides up and down on a bearing system and is counter-weighted to make it easy to lift.
CAUTION: Before lifting the cockpit, ensure that the cockpit lock is in the open position, all
the way to the left side of its travel. If it is not fully locked, it may engage in the lowest
position as you lift.
Stand centered in the hole in the fabric enclosure facing forward with both feet on the treadmill belt. Lower
yourself by bending at the knees and grasp the cockpit on either side. With a straight back and good lifting
technique, lift the cockpit to the appropriate height and engage the lock by pulling the lock lever to the right.
Do not force the lever. You may have to “jiggle” the cockpit up and down slightly to get the lock pins to
engage. When fully enaged, the lock lever will be positioned all the way to the right in the slot.

There is a range of heights at which the cockpit can be placed. For greatest freedom of movement, place
the top of the cockpit frame slightly below the greater trochanter of the femur as shown in the photo.
For more support and stability place the cockpit in a higher position. Some users use the iliac crest as a
reference point. Pull up on the zipper sewn to the enclosure and align the zipper with the iliac crest as
shown in the photo.
You should never attempt to move the cockpit while the fabric enclosure is inflating or when fully inflated. If
you discover while you are exercising that you need to reposition the cockpit, you will have to pause or stop
the workout, re-adjust the height of the cockpit and start again.
Zipping into the Fabric Enclosure
When the cockpit is in place, zip yourself into the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The zipper should be started at the
front and center of your body and zipped counter-clockwise all the way around until it returns to overlap in
the front. Make sure that the zipper is completely closed.

Using the Safety Lanyard
ALWAYS use the magnetic safety lanyard supplied with the machine. Attach the spring clip to the front of
clothing and place the red magnet on the circular locator labeled “Emergency Stop”.
The lanyard and magnet serve as a safety switch mechanism. If you become uncomfortable during
exercise you can pull on the lanyard to displace the magnet and stop the system. Should you fall while
exercising, the magnet will be pulled from the console and the system will stop.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to defeat this critical safety feature by attaching the lanyard to
the structure of the machine or anywhere else besides your clothing.
Operating the Treadmill and the Unweighting System
