SECTION 6: ALTERG MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure the safe operation and longevity of your AlterG Anti-
Gravity Treadmill periodic maintenance should be performed. For the
more complex tasks AlterG recommends that you employ the
services of a qualified technician.
WARNING: Make sure the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill
is turned off and unplugged before performing any of
the maintenance detailed below.
GENERAL CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Periodic cleaning and inspection will help lengthen the life of your
treadmill and keep it looking good. The biggest contributor to the
failure of the machine will be dirt and debris accumulation inside the
treadmill. To prevent this, ensure users always wear clean shoes
while they exercise. Since it is a sealed system, the presence of dirt
and debris greatly reduces the longevity of the product.
Keeping the system clean will also make it easier to spot any problems
that might not otherwise be found until it is too late. Below is a general
guideline on cleaning and maintenance intervals. If the treadmill is in a
dirty environment or under heavy use, cleaning and inspection
intervals should occur more frequently. Do not use abrasive brushes or
cleaners, as they will mar and scratch the paint and plastic surfaces.
Also, do not soak any surface with a liquid, as the electronics can be
damaged or when wet may, pose an electrical hazard.
DAILY:
1. Inspect the interior of the fabric enclosure for any loose debris
and remove.
2. Check for abnormal operation.
Ensure that there are no unusual performance characteristics
such as:
- Unusual sounds (from the treadmill, air blower, or
fabric enclosure such as hissing or air leaks).
- Unusual sights, or smells that appear out of the
ordinary.
- Any operational characteristics that have changed
such as reduced speed of treadmill or erratic or low
fabric enclosure pressure (Note that low fabric
enclosure pressure can be a cause of a mis-
calibration so ensure that you have properly followed
the calibration steps before you determine there is a
pressurization problem).
