The manual is arranged as a checklist. Asyou go through we encourage you to checkoff the steps. There are detailed diagramsat the end of the manual to refer to as well– They are very helpful!

The Treadwall is a large, but not complicatedmachine. None of the steps in this manualare particularly difficult, but it is important tofollow all of the steps carefully. Look forHandy-Tips. They are closely guardedsecrets that have been handed down frominstaller to installer. The order of assembly isimportant, so read each page.

Requirements:Treadwall installation is a full day's work for twopeople. The installers should have mechanicalaptitude and some experience with mechanicalassembly.

One Stepladder six-foot and sturdy is required. If you don't have one, rent it!

Other tools:VSR Electric drill with bits (and extension cord if it is not cordless)Combination wrench set - particularly the sizes 1/2, 3/8", 9/16", 3/4".Socket wrench set - particularly the sizes 3/8", 9/16", 3/4".

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 2

q Remove wrapping from large parts being careful not todamage the surfaces. Unwrap the holds at the end.

Some of the nuts, bolts and washers are shipped attachedto the appropriate parts. These are in the proper orientationand order and they should be assembled in same fashion.In general, use a flat washer on each side on the material,with the lock washer against the nut.

q Once the parts are unpacked and laid out, check themagainst the list and note any shipping damage. Damageclaims can only be accepted for 10 days afterdelivery.

Unpacking:

Set up a neat and organized workspace. It makes the jobpleasant and safe. Removing everything from the packingand discarding the packing materials is an important firststep, particularly since you will be working with ladders.

HANDY TIPS: A small table for tools - parts is helpful!

The panels go on last, put them aside along with the metalreinforcing bars (“stiffies”) until needed. You will also needa long space where you can lay out the long parts.

All references to “right”, “left”. “Downwards”, etc referto the unit in standing position, from the front.

Angle Support Frames:

The support frames are left and right-handed: the curvegoes to the front. The short shafts point inwards. Note thatthe right side has a wire installed.

The Angle Support Horizontal Braces are long rectangulartubes with a single hole at each end and no tabs attached.The lower one has rubber bumpers which face insidetowards wall.

Each Angle Support Cross Brace is a pair of (1) long and(1) short flat strip with holes in the ends

Page 3: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3

.q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the

right frame, near the back bottom. Note that one of theshort cross brace pieces goes outside at each end asshown.

q Repeat on the left frame .

Handy-tip: Use the short braces at the bottom. Tightenbolt securely with each brace pointed up diagonallytowards the other frame’s upper hole.

q Position the ladders towards the back of the frame andbolt on the upper horizontal. The long cross bracing isattached to this horizontal at each end as shown.

The cross bracing in the back makes the frame solid.The turnbuckles for the cross bracing have jaw-style ends.

q Before mounting, turn out the two jaw ends of eachturnbuckle almost to their maximum length.

q Attach a turnbuckle at each side of the Treadwall,connecting the short and long cross-braces together.Make sure to securely tighten the bolts on each jaw.

q Tighten the turnbuckles evenly and firmly so that theyare about the same length

Handy-Tip: These turnbuckles keep the frame straight.For now, they are just keeping everything tight while youbuild the unit. You will do a final adjustment later to alignthe machine.

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 4

Core wall assembly

The M4 core section is assembled on the ground, andlifted into position. This makes for easier assemblywithout working off ladders.

q Lay down the two channel frames. Lay themon edge, front edge down, with the channelsfacing towards each other. The right one hasthe hydraulic unit mounted on it.

Prop up the channels so that the narrower top endis off the ground, The ball valve handle should notbe touching the ground.

Main ShaftExamine the main shaft before installing it on the topof the frame. It has four bearings and three sprockets.At one end of the shaft there is a single sprocket andat the other end there are two sprockets.

q Note that the end with two sprockets goes to theright.

q Assemble the upper Horizontal (with the “tee”ends) together with the Main Shaft. These getbolted on with using (4) ½” x 4” bolts each side.You will have to put both of the two ends throughthe frames and then turn the bar so that the “tee”flanges face downward. Tighten.

Page 5: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 5

q Slide in the Bottom Axle into each bottom bearingwhich come pre-mounted on the channels. Leave loosein bearings; these will be adjusted and the set screwstightened later.

There is one loose sprocket on the bottom shaft: this goes tothe right. It remains loose.

q Install the spacer bar using the two bolts found in themiddle of the channels. There should be a nut on each.First place the (2) ½” washers found in the Base Partsbag over each bolt outside the nut. You should be ableto slide one end over and then the other end. Back outthe nuts just enough to keep the tube from falling off. Itwill be adjusted later.

This bar serves to maintain spacing in the mid-section. Thehollow ends of the tube fit over each bolt. (Image showsinternal x-bracing which go in later)

q Install the bottom horizontal using (1) 3/8” x 4-1/2”bolt. Make sure the small tab is facing downwards andon the right side. There is a small micro switch alreadymounted on this tab, be a bit careful with it. Tighten.

q Install the Rear Guard using 3/8” x 4-½” bolts, oneeach side.

Page 6: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 6

q Install the Bottom Plate to the bottom of thechannel frames using 3/8” x 3” bolts, one eachside. Note that on one side the holes are slotted toallow for variation in the locations. The lip goes tothe rear and faces upward. Tighten.

q Install the two internal cross bracing rods.These are long 3/8” rods that are threaded eachend. Insert each into holes in the lower horizontal.

q Insert them into upper horizontal by flexing therods slightly, Assemble with nuts and washers.

q Tighten so that all ends are approximately even,bottom and top.

q Adjust the spacer tube. The frames are naturallybowed inward slightly, and the spacer tube in themiddle is adjusted to press them outward until theyare straight. Adjust the two nuts at each endequally until the frames are the same distanceapart (50 1/8”) apart at the middle as they are atthe top and bottom. After this adjustment, there willonly be a short length of the studs projecting intothe tube ends to keep it from shifting.

q Mount the Top Shroud onto the top of thechannels. There are (4) 3/8” x 1” bolts that go intothreaded inserts on each side. Tighten. The logoshould be facing down.

HANDY TIP: The shroud may be put on later afterthe Core Section is lifted into place and after thechains are mounted. It is easier to see the chainsprockets without the shroud.

Page 7: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 7

Lifting the Core into place

q Place blocks of 2x4 wood at least 24” long underthe bottom of the channel frames. These shouldextend out so that when the core assembly is tiltedupright, the foot of each channel frame is restingentirely on the blocks.

Always use a minimum of two persons to lift up thecore into standing position!

Lift up the core Assembly. Make sure it is securelyresting on the wood blocks.

q Slide the Angle Stand forward until the bearings arein the middle of the channel frames.

Make sure one person is always holding the coreassembly at all times until it is secured to anglesupport frame.

q Insert the carriage bolts (1/2” x 4”) into the squareholes in the Channel Frames and through thebearings. Put on the washer, lock washer and nut, butleave loose.

q Using a lever to pry up the core assembly slightly,slip the second bolt (1/2” x 3”) into back hole ofeach bearing, one side at a time. Tighten all 4bearing bolts.

q Remove the wood blocks only after you haveattached the Hydraulic Angle Adjuster (below).

Mounting the Hydraulic Angle Adjuster

q Mount the Angle Adjuster Cylinder using thespecial 3/8” x 1” “shoulder bolts at each end. Makesure to leave the valve lever closed until the unit ismounted.

HANDY TIPS: It is important to keep air fromentering the cylinder. If the valve is kept closed thiswill not happen. Once mounted, the cylinder willoperate without any air issues.

Page 8: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 8

q Attach the chrome Adjuster Lever mechanism tothe valve handle.

q Remove wood blocks.

q Test the wall angle adjustment by releasing thevalve and pushing the wall back, then releasing it toswing forward.

Installing the Drive ChainThe drive chain connects the pump with the main shaft.It controls the wall speed and braking.

q Install the #40 drive chain between the pump andthe sprocket on the upper shaft. Drape it over thetop sprocket and attach the two ends with theattached master link. Roll it onto the bottomsprocket you have just mounted: this may require abit of pulling.

Handy-Tip: the pump unit should be in its highestposition to allow the Drive Chain to reach around thelower sprocket. It is mounted this way at thefactory, but can slide down a bit, so check andcorrect if needed.

q Use the long tensioning bolt above the pump (onthe outside of the channel frame) to push down thepump until drive chain is snug but not “bar” tight.

Handy-Tip: Important - This chain will stretchduring installation and the first two weeks of useand require adjustment.

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 9

Installing the Proximity Switch

The proximity switch is mounted on a small bracketthat goes on the inside of the hydraulic unit. Youwill find it along with the magnets in the parts box. Itis easier to install prior to installing the MainChains. (Image to right is after chain assembly).q Attach the proximity switch inside the

hydraulic unit using the hose clamp to goaround the accumulator (cast iron chamber).

q Place the 2 magnets on the face of the bottomsprocket, opposite each other. The magnets areheld onto the sprocket with magnetic attraction.Adjust the magnets until the center of themagnet passes under the proximity switch witha @1/8" gap.

q Lead the wire up and to the inside of thehydraulic box. Use the wire clip to keep it inplace. It attaches to the smaller female plug(only possible fit) coming off the display board.You will test this when the panel is first turnedon.

The Heart Rate Receiver

q Remove the Heart Rate Receiver and bracketfrom their bags.

q Mount the Bracket on the Spacer Tube. Thenarrow side goes up, the long side goes down.Lock it in place by passing a wire tie throughthe two holes and around the cross-brace rods.You may need to bend up the right corner tohave it fit in between the rods.

q Mount the receiver on the narrow top of thebracket by peeling off the tape and pressing iton. Note the label on the Receiver box: thisshows the orientation of the receiver - orient itcorrectly and in the middle of the tube.

Check the position of the Receiver box – if it istoo far to front or back, it can be hit by themoving panel stiffeners

q Wrap the wire around the tube and Lead thewire up to the inside of the hydraulic box, usingthe wire clips to keep it in place. It attaches tothe larger female plug (only possible fit) comingoff the display board.

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 10

The Main Chains:

q Remove one chain from the box. Oneperson should unwind it while the other raisesthe chain over the shaft. The chains aregreasy. Wear gloves & protect the floor withcardboard.

q Check to make sure the chain tabs arefacing out. These tabs are for mounting thepanels.

q Lift one chain up to the Top Shaft and drapeit over the shaft next to a sprocket.

q Move the chain around the shaft until the twoends are equal at the bottom.

q Lift the chain onto the sprocket.q Attach the ends of the chain together under

the bottom shaft using the master link on thechain. Use a length of 2x4 and a block to leverthe lower shaft up while you install the chainaround the lower sprocket.

HANDY TIPS: orient the master link so thespring clip is facing inward in case you have tofind them later.

q Repeat for the second chain.q Adjust both chains until they are

synchronized. Before attaching the masterlink to the second chain, line up one of thechain tabs on each chain with the horizontalspacer bar. Check that they are aligned withthe each other against the spacer bar. If thetabs don't line up, adjust the loose chain overthe top sprocket. The chains must besynchronized so that the tabs with holes aredirectly across from each other. The Treadwallwill not work otherwise.

Installing the PanelsPutting on the panels is a tedious job, but it goesbetter if you are organized and have the basictools.

You will need a socket wrench with a 3/8" socketand a VSR battery-operated drill with an adjustableclutch fitted with a #2 Phillips bit. A carpenter'sapron to hold the bolts and nuts is very helpful.(Image to right is model PE for illustration only)

Handy Tip: Check again to make certain thechains are synchronized. (If you find that thechains are not synchronized when the panels arepartly on, call us. We have a quick fix.)

q Install a reinforcing channel (“stiffy”) ontothe back of each panel before bolting to thechains. The stiffy slips into the holes whenproperly aligned. If the stiffy is a tight fit, youcan place the panel face down on the floor andstep on the stiffy to push it into place.

q Screw on an attachment bolt to hold thestiffy. Notice on the front that there are theeequally spaced holes in the center of the panel.The attachment bolt goes in the middle hole.There is a bag of short round-head bolts in thehardware box.

q Slip the first panels into the front of thechannels. You may have to tap them intoplace.

q Bolt the panel on. The nuts go to the rear.Make the bolts firm, but not tight enough to sinkthe heads into the panels. Use a very lowsetting (typically 3-5) on the drill clutch.

q Rotate the first panel around by pulling thechains down until the panel has made onecomplete rotation. This will align the slidingsprocket on the bottom shaft. You may have totap the sprocket into alignment with a hammer.(mage to right is model PE for illustration only)

q Check the display while you are rotating

Page 13: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 13

q The display should light up. As you rotate thewall, the “distance “ count should reflect themovement. Adjust the sensor if needed.

q Alternate the panels. The holes are notsymmetrical. Every other panel should beturned over so that the holes alternate fromside to side.

As you progress, and the panels are moving upthe back of the machine, it normally takes a bitof effort to push the front panels down. You willneed to lock the front panels to keep them fromback sliding up.Use a short piece (12" or so) of 2x3 lumber orsimilar object to lock the wall at the bottom.

Simply slip it into the space between panelsnear one side at the bottom of the wall. As thepanels try to ride up, the blocking will jambetween two panels and hold the wall in placewhile you work. (image to right is model PE forillustration only).q Bolt on the panels until there is only one

left. The last three panels are installed byslipping them in from the bottom Rotate thepanels around until the gap is at the bottomfront. Slip in the panels one at a time andinstall the bolts. Use the side openings toaccess the nuts for tightening.

You will now complete the assembly leavingthe last panel off. This is so you can makeany adjustments after climbing on the unit.

Side panels and bottom bracket

q Install the bottom brackets. Simply slipthem over the bottom bearings and lock intoplace.

q Re-install the side panels. There are fourside panels for covering the ChannelFrames: two longer ones for the bottom, withthe right side notched. (You may have toremove the Adjuster cylinder to install thisone.) The top ones are different lengths withthe shorter going on the right side.

Page 14: ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07€¦ · ~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 3. q Attach one horizontal brace to the lower hole in the right frame, near the back bottom.Note that

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 14

Floor Mat

q Install the floor mat. There are two sets of loopsthat go in around the legs – you may have to lift upeach corner to slip the loops underneath.

Mounting the Holds

The standard Treadwall M4 hold set has 38 holds. Theyare split into four colors, with @ 9 - 10 holds each.

q Unpack all the holds and lay them out on the matin front of the machine.

q Match the holds with hold-bolts. The bolt shouldproject at least 1" from the back of the hold.

q Bolt the holds firmly onto the panels.

Start with one color and bolt one hold onto each 4thpanel. Distribute them evenly from side to side as yougo along. Repeat for each color. This will give aboutone hold for each panel. Save one hold for the panelthat is still off.

Each hold has a positive edge. Generally speaking,these positive edges should face up so that the climbwill not be too intimidating, but put a few on as side-grips or under-clings to add interest. Once the holds areon you can fine-tune it by rotating holds and moving afew around.

Handy-Tip: Each color of holds can be a separateclimbing route. Or you can combine colors to make aroute. You will find that some routes are much easier

~$ install manual 1 body 01-16-07.doc 15

Final AdjustmentsThese adjustments are done with one panel off andaccess to the inside of the wall.

q Adjust the bottom shaft so that so that there isan equal shaft showing on each side. The panelends should not touch on either side. Check bymoving the panels in the middle back and forthTighten set screws.

q Adjust the internal Spacer Tube by using thenuts to push apart the channels if needed. Aswith the bottom shaft, check by moving thepanels in the middle back and forth. There shouldbe space to move on either end.

q Adjust the internal cross-bracing one moretime to make sure it is even and tight.

q Double check the sensor and display to makesure the counter is working.

q Check the Heart Rate receiver if possible tomake sure the receiver is working. Double checkthat the panels and their metal stiffeners clear thereceiver.

q Remove any coverings to the labels.q Adjust the exterior Cross Bracing on the Angle

Support Frame: the distance between the CoreSection and the Angle support frame should beequal on both sides, looking at the bottom of thewall. Tighten when adjusted.

q Test Climb the wall a number of rotations.§ Check for loose holds.§ Re-position any hods that are too hard or not

well placed for use.§ Check display and distance count.§ Try angle adjuster with foot and hand.§ Re-check Drive Chain adjustment after

climbing. Take up any initial slack.

q Install the final panel. This is slipped in fromthe bottom. It helps to have a hold pre-attachedto make handling the panel easier. Access thenuts either from the front or from the sideopenings if the bottom side panels are still off.

q Perform final test climb. See note below aboutpurging hydraulic system.

Climbing tips:♦ Some people like to climb

fast and some climb slowly.♦ Fast climbing provides a

quick pump, and - at easyangles - an excellent aerobicworkout.

♦ Slow climbing promotes fluidmotion, balance, flexibility,and - at harder angles - agreat upper-body workout.

♦ The auto-stop system in theTreadwall insures that thewall will always stop beforethe climber reaches thebottom of the wall.

♦ Some climbers like the wallto operate continuouslywithout the photocell-brakestopping the wall. A switchon the control panel allowsyou to put the Treadwall intothis mode. Continuousoperation is particularlygood for aerobic climbing.

♦ Climbing is mostcomfortable when the speedof descent is matched to theclimbing speed, so that thewall rarely stops. Adjust thespeed dial as you climb to acomfortable level.

Instruction Card:A laminated instruction card with a ball chain is included with the Treadwall. It hangs fromthe right frame on the cable attachment pin. This pin uses a split ring instead of a cotter pin,and the instruction card hangs from this ring.

Purging the Hydraulic System:Sometimes when the Treadwall is first assembled, the control system runs a bit rough andnoisy - almost a grinding sound - and the wall doesn't descend smoothly. This is due to airin the system that foams into the oil and causes cavitation in the pump. To purge the air,put the wall at the steepest angle, set the cardio dial at the fastest setting, and pull the wallaround steadily for about 15 seconds. Let the wall sit for about 5 - 10 minutes, and do itagain. If you do this about 3 times, the air will percolate up into the reservoir where itbelongs, and the wall will run smoothly.

The last word:

NOBODY LIKES GOING BACK!Treadwalls get installed in the strangest places, sometimes hundreds of milesfrom where installers call home. Making that long trip across the panhandle anddown through the wastelands to fix some little problem is a project best avoided.

It’s the little things that count - at least that is what we have found. Those littletiresome details have a tendency to sneak around to your backside and take abig bite. Here are some things that have shown up on the whack-your-head-and-say-“duh” film clips (and which we have all done at one time…):

î Master link or Monster link?Every master link has three parts. What if you leave off the plate with two holes?What if the spring clip isn’t put on right? It can get pretty ugly!

î Sprocketa-sprocketa!Didn’t tighten the set screws on the pump sprocket? Forgot to bolt the bigsecurity fender-washer onto the end of the shaft? Better hope that nobody over30 lb. wants to climb the Treadwall.

î What the heck is our display showing?Time? Distance? Heart rate? Whatever. It isn’t gonna work if the sensor andmagnets aren’t adjusted right. And treat that reed-switch sensor with respect!And make sure the wire is out of harm’s way.

î “Bolts and nuts are falling downM falling downN, falling downN…”And for some reason the shroud only has one bolt on the right side!Yes – it’s actually happened. Loss of concentration is my guess.Check everything before putting on the last panels. Take your time.

î “Chain-chain-chainN chains that foolN…”Drive Chain too tight? Works great for Ralph but Alice can’t budge it. Too loose?Could be worse. Take out all the slack, but don’t over-tighten. Check it one lasttime before leaving, and make sure someone knows how to adjust it!

Training Checklist - Operations

q Speed Adjustment. Make sure to have users start by turning knob to“Slow” and then increasing speed.

q Resetting display. Explain timer kicks in when distance count starts.Clarify that if you stop climbing, the timer will keep counting in thebackground and will show elapsed time when you start climbingagain.

q Auto-Stop or Continuos switch . Show how this works. Explainmostly used on “auto-stop” but for ground-based work and endurancetraining, continuous is great.

q Angle Adjuster. Show how to operate both backwards and forwards.q Hold Adjustment. Show how to re-orient or move holds with hold

wrench.q Owner’s Manual and other manuals. Make sure the manuals are

passed out. Note the name of staff that are trained if install done bythird party.

Training Checklist - Maintenance

q Drive Chain adjustment. Make sure users know how to adjust drivechain, understand checking chain (removing top right side panel), andwarm against over-tightening.

q Channel lubrication. Explain that the panels can be lubricated in thechannels, but NOT to use silicone: we are recommending anapplication of wax over the steel running surface. This is different thatthe PE models!

q Purging Angle Adjustment cylinder. Explain how to take offcylinder (verbally) and the procedure for purging air from the unit ifneeded (May never be needed).

q Sensor and inside of Hydraulic Box. Explain the auto-stop system,,and show the inside of the hydraulic box and hydraulic manifold anddisplay board.

q Cleaning holds. Explain how helpful this is, mention dishwasher,soaking and scrubbing, etc.
