Treadwall M6 Pro Owner’s Manual—2017 

Operating Instructions 

INTRODUCTION 

There are 3 primary controls to know about on the Treadwall M6.  

You can adjust the 

speed 

of the climb with the lever located on the right side of the machine, you 

can adjust the 

angle

 of the wall with the wheel placed on either the right—or the left— side of the 

machine, and you can view and track the stats on your exercise with the 

digital counter 

on the 

right side of the machine. 

HOW THE TREADWALL WORKS 

It’s very simple, you can just hop on and climb! The weight of your body will move the wall 
downwards. With our auto-stop technology, if you stop climbing, the Treadwall will stop and 
wait for you. The Treadwall will not move unless you are on the wall and climbing upwards. 

You can adjust the angle of the wall as well, which makes it easily adaptable to a large variety 
of abilities and fitness goals. Easier angles are great for aerobic workouts and focus on the 
lower body. Overhanging angles target upper body strength and really engage the core. 

Use the digital counter to set goals, manage your progress, and track your exercises. The 
counter will begin automatically counting upwards when you start climbing, or you can set time 
and distance goals on the setup screen.
