Treadwall®FT Owner’s Manual—2019 

Rev Aug 2019 

Operating Instructions 

Installing the optional Ladder Line™ 

The Ladder Line rungs can be installed anywhere you wish on your Treadwall, but we 
recommend starting with an even spacing of the rungs with little or no deviation from side to 
side. This provides the best platform for simple aerobic training and fast sprinting climbs.  

The Ladder Line is an excellent way to introduce the Treadwall to those who have not climbed in 
the past or feel nervous about the Treadwall.
