Operating the TredSled
1. Before operating the TredSled make sure the machine is leveled and the computer pedestal is in place
(see steps 2 and 3).
2. Next the pad must be attached to the TredSled(see step 3)
3. After setting up the machine go to the front of the TredSled and open brake adjustment hatch. Inside
will be a knob that will adjust the brakes for the belt (giving more or less resistance). Adjust knob to
preferred resistance (see diagram below).
4. When using the TredSled there are two different ways to operate. You can face the pad and run against
it as if replicating blocking or you can use the resistance band to run away from pad. This builds power
and explosion.
5. The computer system on the TredSled is designed to keep track of players force, max impact, distance,
number of hits, and average force and power (see computer instructions for setup).
