- Page 5 Maintenance and Service Treadwall maintenance is easy and requires only lubrication and attention to a number of ® adjustments relating to the alignment of the wall. The most important maintenance of the Treadwall occurs during the first month of operation when the chains 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 winds remain even and do not overlap.

- Page 12 Treadwall Service Bulletin #2: FRAME ADJUSTMENT WITH ® "X-BRACING" The Treadwall is aligned with the support frame by adjusting the diagonal bracing at the back of the machine. It is important to properly align the wall, both for angle adjustment and performance. With the wall at vertical, note the gaps between the side channels and the two main side frames.
- Page 13 Treadwall Service Bulletin #3: Adjustment of microswitch ® The Treadwall counter is activated by a simple microswitch which counts every other 6" panel, each click/count indicating 1' of distance. The microswitch is mounted inside the panels with its arm passing over every other panel stiffener bar.

While you're at it, you can upgrade the machine to the latest configuration: If your Treadwall does not have a metal ring tied to the control line where it comes out of the machine at the top, you will have to shorten the current control line on your machine.

Above the middle pulley there is an access hole that can be reached from the top of the machine, behind the pulley bar shroud as shown. Another access hole is on the right side of the pulley bar and its location is shown in both pictures.
- Page 24 Treadwall Service Bulletin #10 ® Adjustment of chain tension The main chains that suspend the panels on the Treadwall may stretch in the course of the first few months of use. If this happens, the panels will be loose as they move around the bottom and up the back, and they will jam as they attempt to enter the channel in the back (see diagram).

Install the bracket as shown, using the short bolt for the top hole and the bolt for the channel spacer bar for the bottom hole. The middle hole is for the wire.
- Page 26 Treadwall Service Bulletin #18 ® Hold placement It is very important when placing holds on the Treadwall that the holds do not overlap the space between two panels. A hold that overlaps two panels will restrict the machine from rotating as the panel moves around the bottom or top of the Treadwall.
- Page 27 Treadwall Service Bulletin #20 - Correction of stiff operation ® In a properly working Treadwall, a body weight of approximately 60-70 lb.. will operate the wall consistently. If the operation is stiff or sluggish and will not operate at the minimum weight, there are several areas that may be responsible.

- Page 31 Treadwall Service Bulletin #27 Securing internal x-bracing. ® It has come to our attention that the inside turnbuckles on the Treadwall sometimes loosen up, even when the locknuts are tightened down securely. These are the turnbuckles which can be seen through the access holes at the bottom of the side channels, not the larger turnbuckles on the frame at the back of the machine.
- Page 32 The following methods are used in re-locating the Treadwall. MOVING WITHIN A ROOM WITHOUT OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS. Casters: Brewer's Ledge provides both light duty (for occasional moving) and heavy duty (for frequent moving) casters. These casters are bolted onto the lower cross-member of the side frames and may be left in place during normal operation.
- Page 33 The Treadwall may be totally disassembled into parts that will fit through a normal doorway. If this is required, an installation kit is available from Brewer's Ledge that includes a comprehensive manual and video. Price - $45. Call for details.
- Page 34 Treadwall Service Bulletin #38: FIXING PANELS THAT RUB ® ON CHANNELS The climbing panels on the Treadwall run in tracks in the two large side channels. It is important that the ends of the panels do not rub against the channels. Rubbing panels can produce enough friction to seriously slow or even stop the Treadwall.
