  PE wm Install Manual

The manual for the Treadwall PE
wall-mount is arranged as a check
list. As you go through we
encourage you to check off the
steps.

The Treadwall is a large, but not
complicated machine. None of the
steps in this manual are particularly
difficult, but it is important to follow
all of the steps carefully.

The order of assembly is important
at certain points, so read each
page. A video accompanies this
manual, A play-through before you
start is highly recommended.

Treadwall installation is a full day's work for two people. The installers should have
mechanical aptitude and some experience with mechanical assembly.

Two Stepladders eight foot and sturdy are required. If you don't have them, rent them!

TREADWALL

ABOUT THIS MANUAL:

This manual is extracted from the standard
Treadwall PE install manual with irrelevant
material deleted. Use the supplemental
instructions to install the main support frame,
and then continue with the following pages.

The pictures in this manual show a standard
Treadwall PE, but the main difference is in the
frame construction, and the relevant points are
well illustrated.

IMPORTANT

: The Treadwall

transformer is designed for use with
110 volt 60 or 50 cycle AC current.
It supplies 12 volts DC at 1.5 amps
to the Treadwall. Users with
different supply voltages must use
a conversion transformer or other
means to provide the proper
voltage.
