Treadwall M6 Pro Owner’s Manual—2017
General Maintenance
INTRODUCTION
Treadwall® maintenance is easy and requires only lubrication and cleaning. The most
important maintenance of the Treadwall occurs during the first month of operation when the
chain and cables are stretching to their final length. It is very important to keep the angle-
adjuster cables tight during this break-in period so that the coils remain even and do not
overlap. Also the drive chain must be tightened after 2-3 weeks of use. Instructions for these
adjustments are included here.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Treadwall M6 Pro is completely powered by the climber. The wall does not rotate by
itself, but only when a person begins to climb on the machine. You can vary the speed of
climbing with the lever located on the right side of the machine. This lever controls a
hydraulic resistance unit located at the top of the right channel. The hydraulic resistance
mechanism is connected to the main shaft with a short chain.
The M6 Pro also contains our auto-stop system which is triggered when the weight of the
climber reaches the bottom of the machine. The Treadwall will not move when someone is
standing and not climbing upwards. The sensor for this system is located at the bottom right
side of the machine. There is a small switch which closes an electric valve in the hydraulic
system.
The panels slide through the side channels on small plastic buttons which help reduce friction
in the system.. These buttons are located on the top front face and the bottom rear corner of
each panel. Buttons only need to be located in these 4 locations since the panels twist when
weighted by a person. The panels also contain 7 welded fasteners which allow the climbing
holds and various attachments to be added in any configuration the user wishes.
The entire center section of the wall pivots from the top of the A frame to allow for the angle
of the machine to change. This is controlled by synchronized wire cables on either side of the
Treadwall. The cables are wrapped around a tube which has a movable collar that allows the
tube to be locked into place by pushing on, or pulling, a knob in the center of the adjuster
wheel.
There is also an electronic counter on the right side of the machine that allows users to track
distance, time, and calories. The sensor for this system is located on the inside top of the
right channel. The sensor detects a series of three magnets placed on the main top shaft.
