Once annually, apply IMAR Strataglass Protective Polish. A coat of
polish protects against pollutants and will help to keep the Strataglass
clear and flexible. Both products are available from AlterG.
SHORTS
Always remove your shoes when getting in and out of the shorts if at
all possible. Keeping your shoes on while putting on the shorts creates
a great deal of stress on their seams and WILL SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR SHORTS.
Wash the shorts frequently to keep them sanitary. HAND WASH OR
USE A GENTLE WASH CYCLE WITH COLD WATER AND LET AIR
DRY. DO NOT PUT SHORTS IN THE DRYER!
Lubricate the zipper on the shorts as needed. Zip Careā„¢

is a readily
available product designed for this application and is available online
or from AlterG.
If any part of the shorts wear out (wire, seams, etc.) discontinue use.
FABRIC ENCLOSURE MAINTENANCE
Check the fabric enclosure for any leaks and note any large abnormal
hissing sounds. A small leak at the corners of the base or through the
shorts and zipper is normal. If these or other leaks start affecting the
maximum pressure capabilities of the AlterG system, contact AlterG for
troubleshooting and support.
Lubricate the zipper on the fabric enclosure as needed.
The Strataglass windows on your AlterG unit require conditioning to
prevent premature cracking. After each workout, please lock the
cockpit at position 15 (highest setting).
REMOVAL OF THE FABRIC ENCLOSURE
You may find that many of the maintenance tasks are made easier if
the fabric enclosure is removed from the base of the system. The
enclosure has a hem sewn in the lower edge. The hem fits in a groove
in the base. A plastic rod is inserted through the hem and groove,
attaching the bag to the base. Use a blunt instrument to push the rod
a short distance out of the base. When an adequate length is
exposed, grab it and pull to remove completely. The rods in the front
and back of the system should be removed first followed by the sides.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
